About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learning. Personal growth. Travelling in search for my place on Earth.

ABOUT ME

Nice, funny and friendly, yet contemplative and reflexive. I like to share life experiencies, ask questions, listen to what everyone has to say, learn new things and debate. I'm passionate, enthusiastic and empathetic.
And I'm an animal and nature lover :)

PHILOSOPHY

One of the reasons I started this adventure is to open my mind and learn from new experiences.

Everyone has something to teach, if we are willing to learn.

Laugh more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing and meeting CSers!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Never thought that a "website" would have brought to my life such amazing people and beautiful experiences!

Hopefully, I'll be able to host at some point =)

Interests

Animals and nature! I enjoy outdoors activities, being with animals, contemplating nature, hikking, biking... Permaculture, ecology, alternative ways of living and all that jazz.
I like movies and role playing games, reading and sharing time with interesting people.
Ocasionally like to go out, but not really a party girl.
I love to practice acrobatics and explored some acroyoga and Tai Chi skills in Copenhagen.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: I looove to watch movies! I've seen a lot and always up for watching more!
The Man From Earth, The Hitchhikker's Guide To the Galaxy, La Belle Verte (The Green Planet), Inception, Little Miss Sunshine, The East, 500 Days Of Summer, Pan's Labrynth, The Lord Of The Rings...
Music: nu metal, indutrial, EBM, celtic music and some pop and alternative rock artists too.
Depeche Mode, Linkin Park, Rammstein, Zoe Keating, Lindsay Stirling, Alanis Morissette, Sigur Ros, A Perfect Circle...
Books: I like reading but it's hard for me to find a book that really hooks me. I always enjoy reading about animal emotions and cognition. Fantasy books are my favourites.
Interview With The Vampire, A Song Of Ice And Fire, El Tunel, The Wise Man's Fear.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ice-trekking on the Upsala Glacier.

I left a clay wall named "Pangea" in an ecovillage in Denmark.

Met someone who played the music of "the spring bringing life to the forest" on the ukelele.

Convinced a horse to help me prepare the span bed just out of bonding. Took me three months, but I blame it on the language bareers as he was German and I spoke to him in English.

Made a habit out of telling people my dreams. My very special raptor dreams.

Had a very romantic walk around Verona under the pooring rain. Alone. Without an umbrella. For three hours. Before a two-hour train trip back to Milano.
Didn't get sick afterwords!

Spent three months on a paradisiac beach in Sardinia, surrounded by dogs, living in a caravan at a camping place.

Put a poster about an organisation for world peace over a conmemorative birthday greeting to Hitler.

Enjoyed amazing live jazz and blues music at Castel San Pietro, on a perfect spring night.

Saw a beautiful sunset sitting on a dock at the Amager beach, in Copenhagen.

Swam on the Danish see.

Raised many kittens and puppies.

A foal joined me and some other students for a body language lesson, and fell asleep in the middle of our circle while we were doing breathing exercises.

Met Morticia and Uncle Fester during a Carnival Party in Milano, where I was dressed as Wednesday. (It was the first time in years of wearing the same costume).

Spent 6 hours walking around London and missed the changing of the Royal Guard, the Big Ben, didn't try neither tea, fish nor chips.

Kind of experienced the "Law of Attraction" and other things I find hard to explain.

Loved deeply.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can almost promise long talks, walks and discussions about society, science and philosophy.

And it would be my pleasure to share Argentinean mate :)
