Recently moved to Honolulu from Rome, Italy, previously lived Maui, Spain, and England— in that order. And of course, DC, where I was born and raised.

"Culture makes people understand each other better. And if they understand each other better in their soul, it is easier to overcome the economic and political barriers. But first they have to understand that their neighbor is, in the end, just like them, with the same problems, the same questions." -Paulo Coelho

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The first time someone told me about Couchsurfing, I thought she said "kite surfing" which actually allowed the conversation to continue for a really long time about two completely different things.

"Wow! I've always wanted to do that! I've never met a girl who's done that! Is it dangerous?"

So I guess I am on couchsurfing because I have an interest in kite surfing. Anyway, here I am!
