About Me

***UNFORTUNATELY I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HOST NOW BECAUSE WE MOVED TO ANOTHER APARTMENT AND THERE’s NO SPARE SPACE FOR ANOTHER PERSON :(
WRITE ME ANYWAY IF YOU NEED SOME TIPS ABOUT LIFE HERE IN ICELAND, I WILL BE GLAD TO HELP YOU :)”
PLEASE READ THE PROFILE!!***

I'm 32 years old woman who moved to Iceland in March 2014. With my " long term" boyfriend we decided to change our life and try something completely different from our beloved Italia. A journey it's not just take a flight, go to an anonymous hotel, take some pictures and go back (and it's the reason why we choose to join CS!). We really feel the essence of every moment, of every km of the journey...It's not important if it will be a trip to Berlin, Amsterdam, a weekend off in Budapest or "just" an hiking on the icelandic glacier...our backpack and we are free. PHYLOSOPHY: Everyone smile in the same Language! Go everywhere not like a tourist, but like an host.

We have a 2 yo daughter, so our host MUST love kids :)
