About Me

Important.
I don't live in Torino. Read my profile, please. I don't reply to people who don't read my profile, I'm tired of preparing the room for people who then don't come.
And read the house's rules, thanks.

I live in Borgofranco d'Ivrea, along Via Francigena. 🏞️ It is possible to host pilgrim.

I'm graduate as teacher for primary school. I've lived and worked in Moscow, Lima, and Bucarest and now I'm in Italy....... I am still not sure if I will stay in Italy forever.
My life has had a rift during the Covid, and in the beginning of 2022... I'm constantly reinventing myself..
I think to be a positive person, smiling and I always like to learn new things. 😃
I'm polite, open-mind and respectfull person and I like to communicate with people who have different languages and different traditions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love people but I also like being alone. I'm curious. I like visit new countries and meet new people, sharing experiences and emotions...and the food 😆

For me Cs is SHARING.
As a guest like as a host.
Sharing is the most important thing: shopping together, cooking, eating, offering a beer, helping in some way.
It's not just a bed and a shower.

I use CS mostly when I travel alone: ​​my first solo trip between Spain and Portugal (it was 2017 - and I was so scared). 🙀
Then thanks to Cs I met wonderful people all over Russia. 🇷🇺
In Italy, however, I live with my boyfriend in a relaxing place with a splendid view. ⛰️

Music, Movies, and Books

🎶 Classical and Rock music, Folk music, tradicional and Indie, Celtic music... and I'm very curious to hear the music you like, so I'll probably ask you about your favorite songs.
I read because I can to live other lifes and fantastic adventures. 📖

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bungee jumping, rafting, paragliding.
I went kayaking and climbing with a host I had met for just an hour.

I went to live in Moscow without knowing any words in Russian.
I took part in the immortal march in Moscow.
I ate a dinner in the dark.
I did the trans-Siberian railway 🚞 alone for two months, without having organized the stops, and ended up in the Caucasus...touching all (almost) the eastern and southern borders with Russia.

I felt the energy in the cathedral square in Santiago de Compostela, when arrive pilgrims. It was really exciting. ✨

There have been wonderful people and unbearable people.
I found some larvae in the blanket given to me by a host (first experience in CS) and I slept in a mattress on the floor while a little dog licked my feet.

I decided to change my mind, leaving at the last minute with another CS, and I decided to stay longer than expected: the owner left me at her house while she went away a few days. On her return she had the freezer full of Italian food 😅
I did the same thing at my house too.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like people because I am sure that every person is unique and has great potential. I like to expand my experiences learning from other cultures, traditions and lifestyles; allowing me to see the world under all its aspects.

My goal: Traveling, knowing, discovering, returning to contact with the world. 💞
I would like to have my eyes to shine thanks to the beauty of what I am experiencing. 🥹

I think reading the profiles of the person you might go to is important. For this reason when you write to me for a request to stay, insert the word "rainbow" or the emoticon 🌈 So I'll know you've read my profile.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like cooking and I can do the shopping for you.
I often travel on a low budget but I can also offer something. I follow my sixth sense a lot: once I went to buy toilet paper, as it seemed to be out of stock!
