Hello! I am Lorema : ) colourful human being with Italian roots and a roof in Berlin.
I work as a project coordinator for volunteering projects in a social circus, where I also have the chance to play with kids and youngsters. I am also active as youth worker and visual artist, mainly organizing workshops and events in the public/open spaces.
I speak Italian, English, Spanish, Portuguese, and (half) German (I often mix them when I talk).
I prize words, their meaning and their sounds, and yet believe in a communication that crosses languages and speaks with the body and the spirit.
I love creating, cutting, weaving, engraving, writing, glueing, painting, drawing, sewing, creating from scraps and trash, mixing materials and finding unexpected results.
I believe in the power of smiles, play and creativity to bring a change in people and society.
I facilitate creative sessions where crafts merge with storytelling, colours with thoughts and feelings.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe in sharing! And in travelling connected to the land and the people of the land : )
