CURRENT MISSION

Discover the world sharing smiles and emotions...

ABOUT ME

Well, let's start!
I'm Rossella, I come from Sant'Angelo le Fratte, a small but beautiful village in Basilicata (in the South of Italy) and I've been living here in Florence for three years. I work as a teacher with children with handicap and I'm very fond of my job, since what "my" children give me through the smile of their eyes is something so special...
I love life, discovering and deeply living new places, cultures, stories and the smile of new people...the most precious existing treasure!
I'm very enthusistic of every little joy in life and friendly, even if sometimes I'm a little bit too shy...

PHILOSOPHY

I think that every moments and every emotions we live and share are worth to be kept in the depth of our heart as a precious treasure that makes us grow up and gives us strength. That's why we should not regret happy days that are over, but always smile because we lived them! Because, as Charlie Chaplin said, a day without a laugh is a wasted day!
I also firmly believe that everybody has the possibility to have an active role in changing the world. Every revolution starts from the inner of each of us: if only everybody changes himself and let his conscience grow up and if only all people do it, we can change things and make our world a better one!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new of this community, but it really seems to be fantastic!
Unfortunately I've no more the possibility to host you at moment, but we can have a drink and visit Florence together!

Interests

Things that makes me happy are:
- travelling around the world;
- studying foreign languages (my room is full of dictionaries and language books!);
- discovering new cultures and traditions;
- meeting new people;
- music...and my wonderful LocCello! (I play cello...or at least, I'm learning it!)
- reading books (especially the classics!),
- spending the night speaking and laughing with my friends;
- the arabic belly dance and italian popular dances;
- earrings (I've more that 300 pairs!!!);
- laying under the starry sky;
- and above all, the perfume of the jasmins...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's so hard to choose just one or two wonderful things I did! But if I remember the exact moment in which I first found myself on the top of the Cliffs of Moher, at the furthermost point of it, with the waves of the ocean breaking on the rock, the wind on my face and the sun setting down...I still can feel the magic sensation of freedom and joy...it was as I could fly...
And the same happens to me everytime I play my cello! I can feel all vibrations on my body, it brathes with me...and its deep sounds...oh, everything makes me fly!
