ABOUT ME

Positive, friendly, curious, open-minded and....a talking machine :-)! I like to stay with people and I LOVE to discover every day a little bit more about this amazing life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on CS because I like people. Is a simple and short sentence, I know, but it is really authenthic and reflective of my inner nature and attitude towards life. I like to share with others, to know from the others, to discover something about me from the others. I also like to spend some time alone...sometimes :-) I love travelling, and i think that CS is a good way to get in touch with local people and learn about the place you visit.

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

Reading: something I love and sometimes I miss, expecially if we talk about readings that have nothing to do with the job! so sad!
Top 3:
Cien anos de soledad- Gabriél Garcia Marquez
Shantaram- Gregory Roberts
La vie devant soi- Romain Gary

Music: absolutely present in my life! I told you that I love world music but it is only to simplify the issue...
I love to discover sounds and artists from aborad, and from my country as well, players with the genres, with instruments, ancient and new explorers.
I like blues, jazz, word music, popular music, reggae, afro beat, several italian songwriters .

Cinema: I love Cinema and I also studied cinema at the Universtity. I have my favourites...changing every year! I basically follow the branch that french people call 'Film de Essai'

I spent three months with a little tiny population living along the estern shores of Lake Turkana, Kenya.. And I wrote an Ethnography of this people, as the second person in the word. The first one was an American Lady who stayed among them dping research in 1974!
