About Me

#CURRENT MISSION#
maybe i'm not leaving, maybe i'm going home

#ABOUT ME#
Lifetime student. Traveller. Daydreamer. Beat lover. Motorbike passionate. Tech explorer.

I try to visit at least a new place where I have never been before every 6 months, nearby or faraway :) I don't like the feeling to be stuck in the same place for too much time!

My trips have always a gastronomic side... when I travel I want to try the local food and beverage (especially beer!). Usually I have a weakness for oriental cuisine (japanese, chinese, thai) spicy, and italian too (but please don't take me to an italian restaurant when I am abroad!)

I like rock and synth music, swimming in the sea in a warm summer night in company with my friends, be the passenger in a long motorbike trip, ride my Suzuki by myself.

#PHILOSOPHY#
Treat the others like you would like them to treat you.

I am atheist, I respect other's religions and cultures, but I go crazy when they try to impose their ideals on my own decisions and personal freedom.

When I travel abroad I always think that my behavior will represent my home country, so I do my best to be respectful and leave a nice memory.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A friend introduced me to CS in 2009. I traveled with some CSers in Malaysia and in the Philippines, then during a barbecue meeting in Italy I became friend with some guys from the Milano CS group.

Interests

Riding motorbikes, scuba diving, soccer, running, skiing... yes I'm a tomboy sometimes!

Wine sommelier student.

I'm interested in Information Technologies, Interaction Design and User Experience Design.

I get thrilled when I experience new technologies... sometimes my friends call me a "geek"... with affection :)

MUSIC:
Many different genres... I'm very open mind about music :)

I usually don't go to discos very often, I prefer listening lo live music while talking and drinking a beer :) but if my company wants to go dancing I join happily :)
