ABOUT ME
I'm an easygoing and curious person. For long time i didn't have a real job, i was kind of free lance sociologist. I worked mainly as researcher for projects related to local development. Since last September i'm working at the city hall of Trento, so far i really like it but who knows what comes next.
I love mountains, hiking and nature in general. Cooking is my passion but i also love eating and tasting new dishes :)
PHILOSOPHY
just try it.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I heard so much about CS from enthusiastic friends that I couldn't resist any longer.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
So far, more hosting than surfing... most of the time nice and cosy experiences.
Interests
Travelling, of course! I'm interested in cities, their dynamics and funny details. I especially like to discover gossipy stories about their monuments or main squares. And from a new city i always want to bring its map back home: i love them.
Cinema is another of my passion, especially movies made before the Sixties.
Sustainability and local development are also my professional interests. I had an internship experience for a community development project in Mozambique and it was simply great. I'd like to keep working in those fields. At the moment, urban planning is only an interests but i hope to make something more asap.
In the last months I tried hard to improve my sewing skills but without big results... anyway, I won't give up!
