MYSELF

...humility, honesty, respect...

I'm sure we can find connection if you pursue these principles. I'm not impressed by egocentrism and showing-off, rather than by humble and sensitive people who are able to listen before speaking. As we all have something to learn it is so important to accept others' opinions, and learn how to tolerate different or even opposite ways of thinking. This is possible if we are able to control and mitigate our ego.

I believe that irony, and especially self-mockery, can save us from boredom and monotony. I'm intrigued by authentic and empathic people. I seek new emotions and positive feelings every day. I'm thoroughly reserved but not introvert at all, and can be a real good friend, just give me some time. I like to be honest.

I tend to respect everyone's tastes without being judgy, so I would appreciate if you behaved the same way with me. Also, I'm not a fan of people who speak nonstop and don't give enough space to others to reply in a conversation. I won't ever hate you if that happens, but be aware: my brain batteries might drain quickly in that case :D

I have already written too much... find out the rest :D

HOSTING

I'm fine with copy-paste requests, as long as you have a convincing bio to read. If your CS profile is empty, you will likely be rejected. I don't even expect you to be personal when requesting, but be at least polite and respect my hosting conditions. Also, I prefer last-minute and relatively short requests (=don't send me poems!). Thank you :D

I am currently living alone in my grandmother's house in Gorle while she is in an old people's home. The apartment is reachable by bus 5E/5F (15 minutes) from Bergamo city center, or by car if I can manage to pick you up ;) I cannot host more than two guests.

If I do not answer for any reason (I may forget to), try to text me on Instagram: @simoneardianii

What I Can Share with Hosts

my (hopefully) pleasant company, tidiness and cleanliness, flexibility and respect for social spheres meaning that if you don't feel like socializing for some time, just tell me please, it's fine.
we are fickle and imperfect, and cannot give our best everytime.
