Living

ABOUT ME

Spontaneous, amicable, trying to focus on the joy and pleasure of the simple and wonderful things in life without ignoring the not so good ones (also part of life).

Gladly open to learn and experience new things.

In nature I find refuge and I feel embraced by it.

Animals evoke deep respect and love in me. They are the only beings that never fail getting a smile out of me even at bad moments. Hanging out with them is enough to bring me joy.

Being on the mountains or by the sea, on my own or with good company, seem to be among my greatest sources of enjoyment.

Being mindful, meditating and doing yoga have brought a stream of deep and powerful changes to my life. Even though I don't always manage to keep up with the practice, (specially lately!) I am truly grateful to have them in my life some way or another.

PHILOSOPHY

Very meaningful to me:
"Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever." - Mahatma Gandhi.

“The only person you should try to be better than is the person you were yesterday. ”
- Matty Mulling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I heard about couchsurfing a while ago, and I decided to join a few years back. It has given me just positive experiences.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Every experience I have had so far it has been wonderful. It has totally changed my idea of traveling and I have realized how much better is the experience when you get to share it with locals, have the possibility to submerge in their worlds for a while and get to know them. I have had the chance to meet many open-minded, trusting, kind, generous and wonderful people and I have been very lucky to become friends with several of them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most exciting and interesting thing that I have done was a hitch-hiking/ camping trip around Northern/ Western Europe for about half a year. It was a time of many adventures and wonderful experiences, meeting great people and having good moments most of the time. Unforgetable.
