About Me

A traveling free spirit living on the generosity of the uncertainty and embracing life with an opened heart.
Light, spontaneous, friendly, creative, I like to travel and share good vibes and I value human connection.
One friend once told me that I dance on the beat of my own drum and I guess that's a pretty accurate description about myself. I like to question things and challenge the established patterns.
I love the simple life, spending time in nature, walking barefoot, playing music, meditating...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I can't help but quoting Chris McCandless in the movie "Into the wild" when he says: "Hapiness is only real when shared."
This is for me like a sort of mantra or life philosophy or however you want to call it. I think if we would share more, the world would be a better place.
I love sharing with others, not only a home, but much more than that. And Coachsurfing is the right place for that.

Interests

I am a really curious being, so my interests are diverse.
Art plays a really important role in my life, I am always happy to let my immagination flow and explore my artistic side. I really enjoy creating stuff, wheather it's music, poetry, hand-made crafts or drawing. I sing and play the ukulele and when I am inspired I write my own songs.
Lately I am also into art therapy (community theatre, theatre of the opressed, biodanza).
I am striving to deeply understand myself and the universe, so I love reading and talking about philosophy, psychology and spirituality.
I am also interested in sustainable alternative living, circular economy, light travelling and minimalism.
I am a polyglot, I learn languages because I simply enjoy how they sound.
Last but not least ( and obviously enough since I am here) , I love Travelling and Volunteering, I guess these two guys have been my greatest teachers so far.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I walked barefoot in a bamboo forest in Vietnam and bathed in the waterfall afterall, looking at the green rice fields.

Teach, Learn, Share

Learning and sharing it's only limited by you and me and of course, time. There is infinite possibility.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can play you a song, share good vibes and stories, cook dinner, make coffee ( I love preparing coffee for people dont ask me why). Possibly I will leave a dream catcher or some strange drawing into your home to celebrate our friendship
