About Me

CURRENT MISSION

give back to life...I have received so much!

ABOUT ME

I am a state-of-the-art Italian lady, with an inordinate number of pairs of shoes. I have done a fair bit of travelling in my life, often on a quest for a place to soothe my itchy feet. I have spent almost 10 years in Asia, so I guess by now I'm somewhat fusion.

I'm bold and sensitive, outrageous and discreet, self-assured and easy-going. If you're confused now, wait until you see me. I thrive in ingenuity and integrity, and even appreciate impediments, since they give me the kick I sometimes need to leap further and higher.

I like being back home after so much rambling around, but I occasionally still get the travel bug.

PHILOSOPHY

Be awake, be of service to others, be a good person. I was raised Catholic and I am currently learning about Orthodox Christianity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

There is a fine line between couch-surfing and free-riding..I try to embody and connect on the right side of the divide.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I host and surf, and in both cases I'm mainly interested in the magical alchemy of meeting like-minded souls.

Interests

Travelling, yoga, tango, salsa, zouk, kizomba, capoeira, massage, scuba, ski...and a plain good time!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Flying trapeze!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to teach you what I know, and to learn what I don't know. If you're into it, we can go dance together.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking and am told I am pretty good at it. I am tidy, not in an obsessive way but I like to leave a pleasant space behind me. I like to keep my boundaries so I will respect yours, but at the same time I am curious and chatty, so I can offer interesting and deep conversation if you are in a mood for it.
