CURRENT MISSION

Meeting people from around the world, trying to speak their language and understand their world view and their way of life.

ABOUT ME

Relaxed, interested in every aspect of the world around me, I think there are many other things in life beyond working... Sometimes a bit lazy, usually easy-going and flexible, patient with other people (and I need this in my job...), I like to listen to people talking to me as long as they sometimes stop talking and let me talk as well! :) I don't have a TV at home, and I find that life without TV is better! Much more time available!

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy imperfect happiness.

Treat others as you want to be treated (so, if you are masochistic, please don't follow this tip as long as I am present :)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In 2010 I had a fantastic 4-week-long couchsurfing experience in Berlin, then in 2012 in Madrid and in 2013 again in Berlin. And I hosted some couchsurfers in Bologna.
All of these experiences were really nice and interesting.
