CURRENT MISSION

At least once a year to go to a place I have never been before.

ABOUT ME

Hi, my name is Marina and my name means ''from the sea'' which is almost true cause I grew up in a small town on beautiful Adriatic cost. At the moment I live and work in Rome as a graphic designer. Sadly I really rarely can host now but still up to for hanging out. I am curious literally about everything so you can't bore me to death :P I enjoy learning new things and listening to interesting or just ordinary stories. Everybody can teach you something. Also, I am really passionate about learning foreign languages as much as I can so feel free to teach me. I'll do my best to be a good host and exchange experience.

PHILOSOPHY

In these bodies we will live, in these bodies we will die
Where you invest your love, you invest your life. Just lyrics from a song I like, they said it pretty well... :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to host if I can. Like travelling and therefore meeting new people via Couch Surfing. I feel so happy when people start surfing because I've introduced the concept to them :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Excellent experience,I have met so much interesting, smart and fun people, who enjoy travelling as much as I do. Everybody is so open minded and very interested in talking about the country I'm from as much as I enjoy listening about theirs. Hope to make even more friends around the world.
I guess the best part is when you are lucky to meet again your host or guest somewhere around the world :)

Interests

People and places and different culutres mostly! Photography. Design. Graphic art and tech. Learning languages. Nature. Weird youtube videos. Free climbing. Like riding my blue bike! Now I have a red one too :P

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Latin-american authors and music.

I read Kipling atm. I have to mention some books; Brave New World, Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy, the Alchemist... Some random movies I like, that come to my mind; La vita e bella, Amelie, Grand Budapest Hotel, The city of God, American Beauty, 12 angry men, Entre les murs, Sedam i po...Btw I'm a sworn Whovian ;) and an undercover trekkie. Music, my daily inspiration. Currently listening to Mars Argo (check it if you don't know it yet :P). Gogol Bordello <3 Mando Diao, Norah Jones, Jorge Ben, Joe Cocker, RHCP, Nick Cave.... I could go on and on so better to stop now... :D
