Hi, I am teaching Medieval literature at the University of Naples “Federico II”. I love (modern and ancient) books, music, cinema and fine arts. I used to live 4 years in Bruxelles. I am been living in Naples since 5 years. I regularly come to France (Rabastens near Toulouse) to visit my lovely son Roman, who is 5 yo. Wherever I have lived I got different and enriching hosting and guesting experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was a member of the Couchsurfing project since 2008. I had wonderful experiences through it. I even met here who became the mother of my son. So you can tell how much I was devoted to it. Now I express some criticism for what CS is becoming. Let's see how it will turn.
