Overview
About Me
I am a woman, first of all.
I like wearing colourful clothes and talking to strangers.
At the moment I'm living in Forlì, working in a Centro Aggregativo supporting the encounter among italians and asylum seekers.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
to discover the daily life of people in different places and contexts and to enrich myself through the exchange of views with new beings: human, animals and plants :)
I enjoy traveling alone or with friends, but I sincerely believe that getting to know a new place with the company of local people is the best way to be a traveler, and not just a turist.
