CURRENT MISSION

rediscovering myself, find my path, change

ABOUT ME

I was born in Ivrea, and grew up in Chiaverano, a village 60 km far from Torino. Since 2005 I rent an flat in Torino, because I study Chinese language at the university. Sometimes I work as translator and interpreter. I'm president of a youth group in my hometown, and we make events together. We made an event about interculturalism.
I went to Beijing, China in 2007 where I stayed for three months to attend the university. And I hope to go there again in future, maybe go to live there. Meanwhile I wish to travel around and see places I still haven't see!
I live in Turin, in Porta Palazzo, which is the most multicultural place in the city (about 55 different etnies in the same neighborhood!).
I hope I will meet new people from all over the world, I hope to host you if you come in Turin and you need help,and I hope you will enjoy your stay!

PHILOSOPHY

People today just hurry to much and get angry for silly things. Relax, find the "middle". Take care of people around you, don't hurry to judge them, be respectful, be sensitive. In conversating, wait the other person has finish to talk, then you talk.
Go out and see the world! It's bigger then you village

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well, even before getting to know about the cs project, we always helped friends, friends of friends and others, offering them a couch to pass the night, for exemple after a night spent at Murazzi (notorious local bar street).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Beijing!
Between 2009/2010 me with my youth group we made events about interculturalism in our hometown, knowing people from Morocco, Senegal and Romania living there, and let locals know about them and their culture. A good time!
Then I had the luck to know some tibetan monks who came in Italy. We passed few days together. Very impressive!

Teach, Learn, Share

I like languages, and I'll enjoy learn a little bit of some other languages. I can teach you Italian, or even Chinese. I can show you how to cook Italian pasta, and you can show me something of your culture. Maybe you will learn from me things I can't even imagine I can teach...
