CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME
I'm a very eclectic person, I enjoy surround with different kind of people so I can learn things I don't know.
Even obsessive with detail and getting to know every inch of the places I’m traveling, what I enjoy the most is the unexpected, Couchsurfing is a good place to start with this adventure.
I am a journalist and for the last years I have specialized in architecture and design issues, so the cities and the life in the cities is what inspire me.
Likewise, I expect and enjoy tasting the local flavors, I'am a firm believer that one of the best way to understand a culture is through its food.
PHILOSOPHY
Open to give...open to receive
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Couchsurfing is not really about a couch...for me CS a really rewarding way of traveling, as a host and as a guest. The couchsurfers with whom I've shared have made of my trips even more exiting and wonderful experiences and I'd like to think that they think in the same way.
Interests
I enjoy outdoors, travelling and nature.
I really like food, not just eating, also cooking and create and try new dishes,
I'm interested in urbanism and in sustainable alternatives in the urban environment as urban orchards, bicycles, etc.
