Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
learn the best way to live harmoniously with the Earth and with each person crosses my road
ABOUT ME
I like all kinds of art and especially people with some artistic gift .. music, painting, dancing, singing ... I like watching, listening, enjoying, but I'm not able to do much more! although I would like...
Anyway! I like to paint with watercolors (although i'm not good), I am part of a cultural association with which we are organizing a festival with environmental issues (YOURBAN is coming!).
I love to cook, especially desserts, even vegan ones!
I was a scout. I think it's a good way to educate people to live healthy, altruistic and lively with the rest of the world! Not to mention the wonderful outdoor life and my experiences during that years! It is one of greatest and most important things I've done in my life.
It's very important for me can say "I slept in a tent at 2800 meters", "I cooked on the fire for several days, living among the mountains with cold, rain, wind and more!" "I washed in many cold rivers," "I ate strange things, that we never eat in town "..... but above all ... "Despite all this, I'm still ALIVE!"
I think I have become much stronger thanks to the scouts .. I become hardened!
PHILOSOPHY
I give weight to each word i say and i listen. So, i don't like people who talk without think what they say, because in order to me people have to be more honest than they can be. I don't speak rather to say something wrong. (Unfortunately, many times I don't speak at all)
I don't know if that is a filosophy.. but that is one of the 10,000 things that i think!! XD
But it's very important to me...
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Right now I can't accommodate anyone on my couch ... but I am prepared to lead to Turin and to my city, Rivoli and through the woods nearby!
I willingly take a coffee or a drink with anyone who want to talk a bit of all, laugh and appreciate me in my simplicity!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've never hosted couchsurfer but I met someone through meetings organized by friends here in Turin...but I just started this experience! I will improve!
Interests
I have friends who deal with different things and I am happy to learn about music, informatic stuff, chemistry, physics....
However, I like Arts in every its expression!!
I love anything that is not conventional! I'm a very curious girl.
So, I try strange food and I also love cooking and test new recipes and new ways of cooking!! If you could teach me something, you are welcome!
I'm vegetarian and i'm learning every day abuot that

Music, Movies, and Books

above all, I love drama, musical, psychological and psychedelic movies! I have many laugh times with my friends watching B movie!! XD
Well, let's try to make a list:
(in order of appearance -in my mind!- Titles in original lenguage)
A Clockwork Orange; One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest; Shinig; Boys don't Cry; Jesus Christ Superstar; Hair; Across the universe; Der Himmel über Berlin; Misery; Fried Green Tomatoes; Io non ho paura; Trainspotting; Nuovo Cinema Paradiso; Raining Man; Smultronstället; Abres los ojos; The Sixth Sense; Le Fate ignoranti; Les Choristes; Finding Neverland; Amadeus; Milk; V for Vendetta; The Libertine; Chocolat; Play It Again, Sam!; Charlie and the Chocolate Factory; (..How could I try to forget them!?) the Star Wars Saga (!); The Moulin Rouge; ......
AND MANY MANY MANY OTHER!!
Books... I read a lot but there are periods when I read much than other...It depends... however, my preferences about books are similar than my preferences about movies: I like dramatic, tragic ended, psicological and distressing books. I had a long periods in the past when i read only detective stories...Brrrrr! right now I can't do that anymore! I had overdosed.. ;)
Unlike these types is my favorite book is "The Little Prince".. I love it!! I think it is the sweetes, the simpliest but the deepest book that a man have ever written!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I like to travel I did some hitchhiking with my boyfriend. Together we experienced the "slow travel" and we made a whole trip, from our home (near Turin), reaching the Atlantic Ocean, in Portugal and back, without spending any money! Not even one euro! we did this 3-month journey to prove to ourselves and to the world that to live great adventures, take a nice vacation, eat well and experience the culture of the place, you do not need large sums of money but adaptable, good will and optimism!
we kept a blog (it's in Italian though) www.viaggiareconlentezza.com for those who want to give you a look at what we did!
we made it especially thanks hitchhiking, to wwoofing / helpx.net
