About Me

I am a creative thinker and a dancer.

I came to England 5 years ago to learn English and to give to myself a new start. Now I am back to my mother land!

As Italian I love to cook and in the UK I've transformed this passion into a job.

I like to visit new place and meeting new people, understand the culture behind the surface, and collect stories about people and places.
I love to travel because it makes me have a lot of thoughts connecting different culture and lifestyle, and catch the common sense of life for all humanity. I always try to keep my eyes, ears and mind wide open to learn new things. Regarding traveling I think that the true goal is the journey itself!!

I am environmentally conscious, and the concept of waste is really bad for me.
I try to live as much as possible with respect to mother nature (I reuse materials, try to minimize consuming, buy clothes in charity shops, recycle my waste - paper, glass, plastic, organic -, try to use my bicycle as much it is possible).

I am involved in the international dance movement called Clandestine Mazurka, and with a bunch of friends I organise French folk concert in London and South Italy.
I give dance workshops mostly in UK, but also in Italy.
I did singing classes and I studied piano.

I believe in helping each other to create the best way to live. Respect each other's differences!
I've started study nonviolent communication.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hosting is an important part of my culture.

Organising concerts and Clandestine Mazurka events I always open the door or my house to host people.

I have experienced that visiting places with native make a huge difference: can fell the place better.
So now when visiting new places I always look for couchsurfers for hosting me or hangout.

Interests

Almost everything: discover the world and the people.
I really would like to let the world pass through my house
