CURRENT MISSION

To expand my worldview and meet others who are doing the same. And to have dessert in as many countries as possible. *Please note that I live in Naples Florida, USA, not Italy.* : )

ABOUT ME

I'm a photographer with a passion for travel and food. This summer I'm hoping to discover more of my big home country.

PHILOSOPHY

Live kindly.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We've hosted many guests at our home since becoming CS members. The idea of guiding new friends around town, talking, and sharing a great meal is very appealing.

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz

The first moment that comes to mind is from my honeymoon. We were in Venice and it was pouring rain on our only day to see the city. Armed with ponchos and umbrellas, we set out with an impossible-to-navigate map and a resolve to see what we could. On the way to Piazza San Marco we found ourselves in front of a cheery choir. A crowd gathered as they sang in harmony, and the frustrated faces of visitors were soon smiling. It was a small part of our soggy afternoon, but it was just so unexpected and beautiful. It left me in tears.

Ensine, Aprenda, Compartilhe

I'm happy to offer my skills and advice in the areas of drawing, painting, and photography: the three areas I've devoted most of my life to so far. And I love to cook! Although I'm more of an enthusiast. Through CS I hope to expand my knowledge of food and of dishes from many countries and cultures.
