I was born in Italy from an Italian dad and a British mum of Jamaican descent. I lived here almost all my life, visiting London now and then. In the past two years I lived in New Mexico, USA, as I attended the United World College of the American West, in Montezuma. There, I met people from over 120 countries, lived with them and shared unforgettable experiences. I graduated in 2015, and received a scholarship from Wellesley College, near Boston, Massachusetts.
I then travelled to Colombia and Ecuador, and fell in love with Latin America. I am trying to go back as often as I can!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will undoubtedly travel a lot in the next years, but I like the idea of making every encounter an opportunity to learn more about the people and the place I am visiting. If I can, I like to be immersed in the cultural reality I find myself in :D

Interests

I am passionate about performing arts, and I love to sing, dance and act.
I enjoy the company of new people and I love to discuss about global issues, art, literature and any other topic of cultural relevance.
I am fond of sports, I play piano and I am currently studying philosophy in college.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I wrote and directed a play based on Plato's "Myth of the Cave" and hiked for twelve days straight in the New Mexican Pecos Wilderness.
I co-wrote a physics article knowing almost nothing about time and relativity (but I learned!)

Teach, Learn, Share

Anything to do with theatre, song and dance I can teach. I can cook Italian food quite well, and know my language well enough to teach it effectively :D

I would love to learn more about the history of places, local cuisines and languages, and of course anything particular other people might be good at.

What I Can Share with Hosts

All of my experiences, ideas and hopes for tomorrow's world: a little utopian talk every now and then is always healthy :D
