About Me

CURRENT MISSION

One day, I'll say "I am a part of all that I have met".

ABOUT ME

The most difficult part! I'm not an easy person, I think. I try to smile every time I can, but sometimes I get lost with my thoughts. I give importance to every kind of knowledge and to human relationships, I try to live at the best of my possibilities and to improve myself day after day. I'm a sensitive, emphatic, outgoing, funny, imaginative, dreaming person. And of course full of contradictions and a bit crazy: a living mistake!

PHILOSOPHY

Live with passion! Love freedom to taste life!
Share emotions and feel the world!
"Fatti non foste a viver come bruti ma per seguir virtute e canoscenza"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live with my parents, but I've convinced them to host when it's possible. I'd like to give you the chance to travel in freedom, living the true essence of my country. You don't need too much money to travel in this way and I think this is a great democratic achievement. I'll like to help real travellers and not tourists, by my side I wish to be the same for you.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've always been fashinated with this project. Finally I started in 2011 and I've had great experiences being hosted, offering my house and most of all my company to travellers. I met special people that was worth meeting and I'm still in contact with some of them. I wish I could travel all the world, but I think meeting people of different countries is as beautiful as travelling.

Interests

Travelling (oh, you guessed, didn't you?), writing, reading books, listening to music, eating and drinking (that's why I travel! I'm joking, by the way maybe this is my favourite activity), having good time with good friends, cats, studying, politics, learning new things and getting new and new experiences...

Music, Movies, and Books

I've always a book on my night table. I enjoy reading Classics, as Flaubert, Stendhal, Zola, Dostoevskij, Tolstoj, Kafka, Rilke, Grossman. I love also Italian writers, like Vittorini, Piovene and Svevo, and Greek and Latin Literature too. Speaking about music, I give importance at lyrics, so I love De Andrè, De Gregori, Battiato, Guccini, Gaetano, Testa, Conte, Capossela. I listen to Led Zeppelin, Dire Straits, The Police, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Cream, Free... I like Classical Music, Opera, Rock, Blues and Popular Music. I don't watch many films, but I like Italian Cinema, in particular Moretti, Benigni, Fellini and other great Italian directors. Something else, Kim Ki-Duk.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every journey of mine has something unforgettable, it's difficult to express here what I lived. It's wonderful sleeping on the beach, after a night out and a bathe in the dark water. I took part in great live concerts and in other crazy events.
People around me are special and have tender feelings for me, everytime I see it in their eyes I feel a strong emotion. Little things that make my life big!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share with you my passions, as for Literature, and hear you telling me about your life. I'd like to get in contact with different way of living, to find my way across travelling. I love eating, so I'll be really happy for tasting the food of your country. I also would like to improve my English. Would you like to learn some Italian and how to cook pasta?
