About Me

Well, after some years studying and working in different fields now I've realised that there's no perfect moment for doing what you have always dreamt with.

Two months ago I made a big decision in my life: I would leave everything, take my big backpack and travel the world...

And here I am! Starting in Central Europe, heading Asia and so excited to know how this adventure is going to develop. I have no plans in my mind, no time limits, just the whole world to be discovered!

Now it's the moment I have to do it and I'm sure that it's going to be a great experience that will help me to know who I really am and who I want to be in the future.

LIFE BEGINS AT THE END OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling around the world is one of the most rewarding experiences you can ever have. For me, meeting new people is the best way to get to know the places you're visiting, to be in direct contact with different cultures and lifestyles, to get inspired and to help others to learn about your own background.

It's a mutual relationship that can always provide you with different ideas and aspects which can change your life for ever.

I think that Couchsurfing is the perfect option to get this and to be able to stay in different cities and countries while sharing knowledge, plans, ideas and traditions.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love ethnic and oriental music. It makes me feel calm and helps me to daydream (even more!), make plans and imagine myself in all those situations I would like to live in the future.

I'm also in love with Leonard Cohen, his songs, lyrics and poems. His voice is unique and it is impossible for me not to feel nostalgic every time I listen to his music.

Even though I am very into romantic comedies I also like watching inspiring films of all kinds. From "The Mission" to "Working Girl", "Eat, Pray and Love", "The Godfather" (the second part is my favourite!), "The secret life of Walter Mitty", "The hours", "The shift" or "Peaceful warrior".

And reading, one of my other passions. Romantic novels are my favourites but I am also very interested in storic books, fresh and modern tales and I'm really into travel blogs!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 21 I was studying Law at the University but I knew that it wasn't the path I wanted to follow for the rest of my life.

One day, walking around my hometown, someone gave me a flyer with information about an academy for Flight Attendants in the city. That was the very change I needed in my life. After some weeks considering and thinking about it, I made the decision: I would start the following course with them!

And that was the beginning of a new chapter in my life. It was my first job, away from home, travelling and getting to know myself during almost four years. I will never regret having made that decision because nowadays I'm the kind of person I want to be.

It was an amazing experience!
