ABOUT ME

Originally from a sleepy tiny Italian town on the Adriatic coast, moved to the UK at 19 and lived in Nottingham and London for the past 7 years which seems like a lifetime.

Cultural hybrid.

Currently traveling / working as a raw chef.

breathing, practising yoga, moving, walking, talking, living, thinking...

Disclaimer: I am a solo female traveller - I am NOT looking 4 a boyfriend as I already have one but also would never look 4 one on CS. So please don't message me if you just want to get laid - it wont work with me.

I enjoy witty conversation, good food, real people!

Thanks!

Sofia

I have couch surfed several times since 2010 (I had to create a new profile last year as I couldn't retrieve my password) and met unique people who are now lifelong and some of them best friends whom I shared beautiful experiences with.
