About Me

Being an activist is one of the most important parts of my life; currently I work as an Italian teacher for refugees, I volounteer for homeless people in my city and I am in a political group.

I've been travelling since I was a kid due to my mum's work in Thailand. I consider that my second home and I just couldn't imagine spending my life without traveling.

I was born on the seaside and I adore it! Btw, I surf and I do yoga everyday; I'm also a krav maga fighter.

I'm very interested in science, especially physics, and philosophy. I was very influenced by the work of Frans De Waal, a brilliant ethologist, I'm very fascinated by the ideas of Richard Feynman (who isn't?!) and I grew up reading and loving Nietzsche and Bakunin, who influenced most of my moral code and political views.

I’m a vegetarian going vegan. Oh, and I’m a tattooed alternative model.

Apart from all this, in the end, just a human being who wants to see the world and find her place somewhere and somehow ^^

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A tourist pays to see the city, eats in international restaurants, sleeps in hotels.
A traveler shares experiences with local people, eats what they eat, sleeps where they sleep.
A tourist pays for things.
A traveler shares.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Surviving a storm in the middle of the Chinese Sea when I was a kid was a significative experience. Apart from that, growing up travelling around the world was pretty cool - thanks, mom :)
