CURRENT MISSION

Expect the unexpected :)

ABOUT ME

I'm involved in the activities of a small organisation based in Viterbo, Italy, which I love and where I work as project manager and youth worker. My main occupation at the moment is to design and run projects related to youth work and training, both at a local and international level, in behalf of mine and other organisations.

The majority of my work as a trainer is currently focusing around the areas of communication and personal development, using mainly tools related to theatre, creativity and storytelling.

I have an insane obsession for tea, avocados, Disney movies, art supplies, journals, musical theatre and maps.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I got in touch with the Couchsurfing world for the first time during my EVS (European Voluntary Service) experience in Olomouc, Czech Republic, during the year 2013. The mentor of my project was one of the most active members of the CS community in Olomouc and she introduced me to the community literally from the very first moment I set foot in the city :)

During my nine months of stay in the Czech Republic I had the chance to meet, get to know, host and be hosted by so many wonderful people, that I couldn't stop myself from falling in love with the CS world :) Since when I'm back in Italy, I try to spread and bring some of CS spirit in the area where I live!

Interests

My love for the power of stories goes beyond words, as I'm deeply convinced that stories are the foundation for how we communicate. They enable us to make a personal connection to content on a deeper and richer level, more than a mere list of facts can, and how we narrate and read facts determines how we will remember and integrate them... and to me that's what learning is! When we approach “learning” in a more traditionally structured way, it can be a struggle for people, but stories enable us to learn without feeling like we are learning, without straining to get it right. I love to work with transformational storytelling, using personal storytelling as tool for innovation to change and self-development.
