About Me

As far as i can remember I dreamed of traveling around the world with nothing but my open heart to guide my steps... so a couple of years ago I started working towards the fulfilment of that dream. Since I have set of it has been all but what I had imagined all these years and i have to admit that it is exactly how it is supposed to be for a true journey is also the one that you do inside yourself and that strips you of all you thought you are to make you become who you are... long line to say that I travel to experience every country and its people exactly as they are without filters, no expectations, no judgement... "just a tea spoon of humour that makes what ever situation go down".. I like to meet, discover and learn, to share and grow. Wether it is, a good coffee, a good meal, a good conversation, a cultural event, a museum visit, a walk around town or a ride around the country side, a fun night out. It's all about being in the moment, being inspired and sharing it. On a more practical note, I am easy going, ordered and clean.. your place is sacred to me. What ever your rules are, are also mine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Getting to know a new person, a new language, a new culture, a new philosophy of life, a new country, a new city or participating to an event is for me the most enriching thing there is to do on a journey... discovering a place through the eyes of a local is often the only way to genuinely get to know it with an open heart an open mind and welcome it with open arms...I am looking forward to discover your country through your eyes...I can lend you mine ...:-)

Interests

Started writing when I was very young and never stopped ever since, always carrying a moleskine on me and giving life to thoughts in form of short stories, poems, novels... If i am not talking to strangers to discover new cultures, new ideas, new languages new music, I might be in a museum having a conversation with an audioguide or a guide, or meditating, or reading, or doing some sports or just trying to enjoy some silence contemplating a moment worth it...which is basically every moment...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lets share a nice conversation. You tell me if there's is something amazing about what I have done...

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe that differences between people are a richness... its all about welcoming and giving back in all simplicity and authenticity, or at least trying to..:-)...

What I Can Share with Hosts

...share travel or just human experience and ideas, good conversations, a good laugh, a good drink a good meal... I can cook a good meal if you have a kitchen, maybe you can teach me a new dish I can make my next couch surfing host happy with...
