About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn as many things as possible about the most beautiful continent in the wordl: Africa!

ABOUT ME

Hi everyone! I'm an Italian journalist, currently living in South Africa and working for several Italian medias. Maybe because of my job I'm a very friendly person, open to new experiences, people, etc. I can go out dancing all night long or stay at home for a nice dinner and chat, speaking about everything. Cause, really, everything we do in life enriches us so much.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a very optimistic person, I enjoy my work a lot because it helps me grow in so many respects. For me life is learning, always, through experiences and people. My plan is to tour the whole world, maybe one life won't be enough... That's why we have to live it fully!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just joined today, gimme time to understand it

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Even if I'm a new member, I hosted and had been hosted by so many people in my life... I toured the whole world, more than 55 countries and still I feel I haven't seen enough! So I know how to make a person feel confortable, being friendly but also respectful of privacy and spaces. And I'm very adaptable, so, if you host me, really don't worry about anything. I'm sure your couch will be thousands times better that some of the places I've slept in in Beirut or Albania!

Interests

Meeting people, finding stories about their lives, and collecting as many different experiences as possible. It enriches yourself a lot, I can tell you. Apart from that, I really like to travel, listen to music, going out for a good movie... Just propose me things and you'll never hear a "no" from me.

Music, Movies, and Books

Anything that has a good vibe, from trance to drum & base, from reggae to... whatever! If I like it, I can dance all night long :)
For movies and books, there are so many of them I like...it's better to talk about that when we meet!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling in weird places. And having a few mortar shells fired upon my head :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Wow! This is great! Actually I travelled a lot, growing up between Florence and Baghdad, visiting from the most touristic places in Europe to Mogadishu, in the inferno of the Somali war. So I have a lot of stories to tell! I think this is my best skill. Apart from few languages I can help you practise if you want!
