About Me

I have got three children: the first one, 37, has been married for 7 years now and lives in Ligura, by the sea. The second one, a young girl as well, is 27 and has just moved to live on her own with her boyfriend, on the ground floor of my same house, a two storey detached house in the outskirt of Novi Ligure, with a large garden, an orchard and a vegetable garden. The third one, a young man of 24, is studying computer science in Losanne, Switzerland and is close to getting his degree. Unluckily I am not that good at digital sciense.....and often get stuck with my computer....
I have just recently got divorced for my second time and gone back to my first love in life: TRAVELLING and GETTING TO KNOW PEOPLE. I like trecking but am open to any affordable sport (consider my age though I am pretty fit and slim; right now I am back from a sailing brief experience where I led the sailing boat...and I am back safe !!). Planning to go to Israel in November and in India next January. In the mid time driving my camper all around.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I decided to join Couchsurfing the very first time I heard about it: I love meeting new people and sharing a bit of life with them. One can maybe not make friends straight away - it takes some time or that bit of first impression that not always makes two people match - but can anyway have an experience she or he would have never had if not being open-minded, opening her or his house and wishing to be part of someone else's life for a bit.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmmmm...still waiting for something just incredible. Isn't it incredible, though, being alive and curious?

Teach, Learn, Share

Very little to teach, apart the need to always respect the others; anything to learn, apart the fact that I can't stand patronizing people; everything to share (don't we already share the world?)

What I Can Share with Hosts

My joy of life and my will to be helpful.
