People say I'm funny, I don't know what that means but I like it :)
I think I'm a talkative person, I like to share opinions and passions. I like to laugh, to talk but also to listen.
I define myself as a feminist, left-oriented, queer person. I eat meat but I respect veg (so, please don't lecture me). I'm an atheist with no possibilities of redemption :).

I respect everyone's opinion, but I rather don't discuss with omophobic/racist/fascist folks whatsoever. Please, stay away, I just don't want to argue.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I surfed a few, and I really can't tell which experience was better. I met good people and had a nice time.
I'm on couchsurfing not just because it's a free bed, but because I really enjoy the experience of sharing. I love to be in places where the hosts are not just the ones who give you the key. And I lov the possibility of meeting new interesting people everywhere!

Interests

'pero la literatura no vale nada si no va acompañada de algo más refulgente que el mero acto de sobrevivir'
(Roberto Bolano)

I'm interested in contemporary literature, which is what I studied, and in photography (you can see some of my photos here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sheelaweh).
I founded with some friends a cultural webzine: http://quattrocentoquattro.com. It's in italian, so if you know the language just go and enjoy!

Music, Movies, and Books

'My'movie is, most of all, Wes Anderson's 'The Royal Tenenbaums'. I like this sweet-and-sour mood. I really really really like almost all Quentin Tarantino's stuff. I'm a serial addict and a binge watcher. Fav tv shows: Mad Men, The Wire, Top Of The Lake, Game Of Thrones, Treme, Breaking Bad, Jane The Virgin, Orange Is The New Black, Orphan Black...

I love almost any kind of music, except the reggae (I'm sorry, it bores me...) music and something else. Favorite groups/singers nowadays: The Pixies, The National, Regina Spektor, Amanda F*ckin Palmer, Depeche Mode, Neutral Milk Hotel, Alt-J... quite a mix :)

Books: really, I love everything, from Classics to Science Fiction, through Historical and Postmodernist. Absolute favourite books ever: Middlemarch - George Eliot; The Buddenbrooks - Thomas Mann; Lord Of The Rings - JRR Tolkien; Camere Separate - PV Tondelli; Infinite Jest - DFW... and soooooo on

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I organized a conference/convention/gathering about Fantastic literature, science fiction and fantasy, posted on my blog all the essays and...
...now it's getting published!
I can't tell how great the feeling is :D

(and I dyed my hair pink)

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to learn everything, from people and from the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

what could I share... my language, my ideas, my way of life, my books (only if they come back to me, I'm jealous of them!), my music and everything -uhm, NOT ACTUALLY everything - you ask me!
I'm a good cook, by the way ;)
