About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to follow the yellow brick road

ABOUT ME

I don't know what to say about me. I think I'm a simple person, curious about everything (almost everything). Sometimes I feel like the main character of my favourite book, The Hearing Trumpet, a woman of 90 something year-old who had not yet understood how life works. I'm not so old but age is not important for me. I like people who have not lost a sense of wonder.
PHILOSOPHY

Being kind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like talking and walking through parks ornice neighborhoods, drinking wine. I prefer small groups (better one person) because I'm slow and I need time. But it depends.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well... it made me become a friendly person.

Interests

I spend half of my time teaching, writing and drawing, and the other half walking and thinking about new stories to write. I like reading everything, everytime. I like theatre, cinema, circus, photography, travelling, food, talking to people, talking to dogs, drinking wine in cheap bars, dancing tap dance (I'm learning),and everything coloured. I can't stay without music.
