About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To keep on moving, meeting, discovering

ABOUT ME

I am not able to stay longer than 3 years in a same country. In the last 10 years I have lived in different European countries.

I had a great fascination for Eastern European countries and every year I spent one month discovering them.

I have been engaged as volunteer in a environmental NGO, a NGO defending animal welfare, a NGO working in developping countries and a NGO working to prevent the FGM.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't mind if I don't really know what I want. I am finding out what I don't want and I am curious as much as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I enjoy the experience of hosting/meeting travellers from all over the place and attending CS meeting around the area.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None as a traveller yet but great experience hosting when I was in Italy. After that, I didn't host people for a while. However, I recently started hosting people in Sao Paulo.

Interests

Curiosity is a charming passion!. I have had a lot of hobbies (reading, music, painting, environment, dancing, writing, etc.) but only some of them still go on: cinema, outdoor sports, reading and languages.
