About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Sharing, sharing, sharing !!!

ABOUT ME

I'm not very good in talking about myself (and I don't like it), but in general I can say I'm an open-minded and curious person! I always try to put myself to the test, I love to meet people because I've discovered that I can learn a lot from every single person I encounter on the road, even those you would not expect. Share experience enriches me and I'm very happy to be part of this amazing community!

Some of the things I like more:
-The smell of the coffee, when I wake up.
-The smile of a stranger.
-Reading a good book, while it's raining outside.
-Sharing experiences and points of view.
-Talking so much that it is dawn and you have not noticed.
-Red wine.
-Big hugs.
-People that make me laugh.
-Smoking a cigarette, in front of a beautiful view.
-Autumn, Winter, Summer and Spring. Every season deserves.
-Travel, travel and travel, if there were no tomorrow.
-Cooking, especially when there is someone who does it with you.
-Writing. About everything.
-Being active within the society. It is important that everyone plays its part.
-Volunteering: the world is full of people that need our help!
-Africa: its people, colors, smells, joy, look, rhythm, music.
-Discovering new cultures; learning new languages.
-Sarcasm.

What I don't like:
-Berlusconi.
-Arrogant, vain and presumptuous people.
-Who sends a CS request without having read your profile.
-The current economic system.

"Life is what you make of it. Travels are travelers. What we see is not what we see but what we are."

PHILOSOPHY

I firmly believe in kindness and peace!! Violence breds further violence... so let's be kind and peaceful :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm at the beginning of my CS experience, but I'm starting to be more and more part of this community!

Interests

I'm very interested in political issues, like human rights ones because I'm studying this kind of subject. I love traveling and I think it's the best way to improve myself. Reading, hanging out with friends and new people, watching movies and documentaries, taking pictures, trying new food and thousands of other things!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't want to seem a rhetorical person, but in the last period I've understood that every day can be amazing, that every day we can do/see/experience something that's wonderful. You've just to be open, to allow people to enter in contact with you, to let you go, to think, but not too much.

“Let yourself go. Shake off inhibition and fear, and be yourself. Learn to think and act naturally, spontaneously; harmony and symmetry will enter your life, and you will discover your inherent talent. Thus he discovers his talent. It may be in the arts, the sciences, business, war, or politics; but wherever he finds his niche, he will fit into it as a hand in a skintight glove, as if he and it were made for each other, and he will perform his work in such a manner as to be completely indistinguishable from it.”
