Overview
About Me
I'm a very easy-going and open-minded person. When I'm not working, I love to travel, to enjoy a good glass of wine, to hyke in the mountains with my dog and to play squash. I would love to show you some nice trekking here in the mountains close to Turin, especially in the Susa Valley. I cannot host at the moment so please don't send me requests looking for an accomodation!
In the past ten years I lived in different countries (France, Netherlands, USA, Sierra Leone, Ghana) and I recently came back home, in Turin. I love to travel to (West) Africa and I am always looking for travel friends or suggestions on specific cities to visit.
I speak fluently English and French. I am learning German (level B2) and my next challenge is Arabic!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Nothing makes the earth seem so spacious as to have friends at a distance; they make the latitudes and longitudes. (Henry David Thoreau)
I love the idea of meeting people from all around the world and keep in contact afterwards!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I had several surfing experiences in France when I was studying there and I hosted in my home town in Italy.
Always had very good experiences, so interesting and enriching!
