CURRENT MISSION

Just survive :-)

ABOUT ME

I'm 26. I was born in Rome and I'm living in Sydney.
I am in a sort of big trip, I started from South
America since 2006 and now I am planning staying here
for a year (maximum). I already have a flight to
Bangkok on January 22nd 2009 and from there I will
move to Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia and who knows where
else!
You may be interested in reading other people's references to know something about my personality.

I speak only intermediate English, so if you notice some grammar or orthography errors write me and I'll correct them :-)
I'm a non-smoker and I'm a vegetarian. I like to drink beer and other alcoholic drinks, sometimes, but not to abuse.
I have a flat in Rome and I have a car, but at the moment I am living in Australia.
I love animals (so I don't eat them!), my family has some pets (cats and dogs).
About my education: I recently finished with the University in Italy, I am so happy! I spent an University year in Madrid, studying in the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, and had a great time there!
I am not married but I think that someday I will :-)
I'm single at the moment and I don't think I will get a girlfriend now, because I always go away :-)

PHILOSOPHY

The secret method of inviting good fortune.
The marvelous medicine for all sickness
Just for today:
Do not be angry
Do not be worried
Be grateful
Work hard (on improving yourself)
Be kind to others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started with couchsurfing as host, in Rome. I had so many requests! Everybody was so nice! So when I started my crazy trip I started also to surf other people's couchs, and it was great, I met so many intresting people and everybody has been so kind and helpful! I also partecipate to some meeting, is very funny.

Interests

I love studying foreign languages, I'm fluent in Spanish (I lived in Spain and Uruguay) but I have some difficulties with English :-)
I want to improve my English as soon as possible, to get a good job when I'll be back to Italy (or in any other country).
I like sports, and I play soccer every Wednesday evening at Wentworth Park with a lot of friends. You can join us if you want!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm really interested in Latino-American culture. I like Argentina's rock music, I love to watch "peliculas" of South American directors (my favourite film is "Diarios de motocicleta") even if only a few movies of that kind are shown here in Europe.
My favourite book is by Eduardo Galeano - Las venas abiertas de América Latina.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The craziest thing that's ever happened to me was when the motor of the bus I was travelling on broke, so I had to spent a night in the middle of the Chaco desert (between Bolivia and Paraguay).

I am interested in language exchange. I teach you Italian and you teach me your English. I have books and I did it before.
