About Me

I'm an open person, curios of life. I've been a journalist in finance for a long time, but my real passion is cooking and now I run my own restaurant in Milan, together with my husband. I love travelling, I've been travelling a lot, I love meeting people, facing about many subjects, but I also love reading. I'm very respectful of others' spaces.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

because meeting new people means being richer, a journey is special if you do not only see wonderful places, but meet people. To me a beautiful place is appealing, but even more appealing are interesting people. PLEASE NOTE THAT I CAN HOST ONLY ONE PERSON AT A TIME

Music, Movies, and Books

classics like beatles, simon and garfunkel, elton john....authors: catherine dunne, but also ken follet and many many italian writers. I have also written a book myself (but it's in italian) and I sell it quite well in my restaurant.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Definitively open a restaurant in my middle fifties!! Such an hard work but if you read the review on tripadvisor (CuocOna, Milan) you'll see that we really must be very very proud of it!!!
ps even buying an apartment in New York City in 10 days is pretty foolish, but I will tell you when we meet :)

Teach, Learn, Share

teach respect for everything: people, animals, enviroment: without respect nothing can grow
Learn everything: we are always in a learning mood
Share: not everything: something must remain private, but life is so so so much rich and interesting if we are generous (Couchsurfing teaches....) and remember: everything turns and come back!!!!
