About Me

ABOUT ME
Australian/Italian from Melbourne, studying dance and Spanish. Easygoing, curious, love adventure, dance, film, photography, outdoors, new experiences, meeting new people and trying new things.

Love travelling and learning about culture, meeting locals, the food!, and different ways of living.

PHILOSOPHY
Always try to live in the present moment, and to be grateful for everything you have, rather than focus on what you don't; no matter how bad a situation, it could always be worse!
Accept the things you can not change; have courage to change the things you can; and the wisdom to know the difference…

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet locals, and to get to know the culture and area of the places I travel in a much deeper and richer way, that you can't find through hosteling/fancy hotels.
