ABOUT ME

Just after spending 6 years of London life, I have massively changed my pace and rhythm and now settling for a while in beautiful Lecce Puglia ^_^

I really like my job (why I came to Puglia) especially between 9am-6pm. But mainly my two biggest passions are travelling and cinema.

I love learning about other cultures and countries... This involves their history, traditions, daily life, politics and of course the food! I also like to meet people from different countries, I even promised myself as a lil kid that I'll have at least a friend from each country - I'm working on it! :)

Although I love being in a big cities, I always make sure I escape to places where I can feel that I belong to Mother Nature. I really really like animals too, I have two gorgeous cats!

PHILOSOPHY

Some quotes:

"If there was a place you could go to, where that better part of you could live, you would go, wouldn't you?... Who's to say which is the dream? " Ingmar Bergan wrote this at Through A Glass Darkly

"I have always depended on the kindness of the strangers" Blanche Dubois in A Streetcar Named Desire

"Mother Natures knows the best way!" This is by me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've always done couchsurfing via my sister or my friend's profiles since I've travelled with them.. now I do it myself! Always had very nice experiences and thought it's a very nice way of meeting like minded peeps and keeping in touch as well. I met so many of them again after our CS experience too :)
