I am an Italian lady who lived a dozen years away from Italy. I have a multicultural family and work with people from all over Africa and Asia. I believe in a world without borders. I like to know about different countries and lifestyle and enjoy eating food from other cultures. I have a rather busy lifestyle so unfortunately i am not available to host at all times.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to know people from different culture. I lived, studied and worked for a long time away from my home country in a very multicultural environment and i can say that I probably have more foreign than Italian friends. My own family is very mixed. I believe the world belong to everybody. I think interacting with different people from other places is a very enriching experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

"However, if you have the right to divide the world into Italians and foreigners then I shall tell you that, according to your interpretation, I have no Fatherland and I claim the right to divide the world into the under-privileged and oppressed on one side and the privileged and oppressors on the other. The former are my Fatherland, the latter are foreigners to me." Don Lorenzo Milani, priest and educator, in a letter to the judges when he was tried for 'instigating an offence' since he defended a young man who had refused to absolve his obligation to do military service, when it was compulsory, in the year 1965

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am pleased to share my life experiences and in particular my work in the international protection field. I am easy going and adaptable. I can cook a curry meal for them if they like! I am happy to leave with them in the morning and go back after they do if so they wish.

I can also host back one lady plus a kid or a young person or two ladies. I have a sofa bed in the parlour, which converts into a double bed but only a bathroom.
