ABOUT ME

I lived and attended my schools in Italy. I moved to London in october to perfect my english skills (didn't help it that much) and to apply to a theatre university here. I've always been into theatre, as I started playing when I was six. I'm very passionate about every kind of art, in my spare time I usually go to museums to take skatches, or around the city to take pictures of people with my disposable camera. I also enjoy writing and reading, watching movies going to theatre and devising. If there were and idea that could best describe me, that would be the one of moving to a foreign country in order to study theatre. In fact, I consider theatre and thus life, as a "meeting" in which one adds something to another. Therefore, I constantly try to improve myself and open myself up to what is foreign (obviously I'd be a foul not to condider it a tough task). And encourage myself in being resourceful, selfless and eager. So eh, hope I helped you to know me better. ps. forgive my grammar!

PHILOSOPHY

I do not have a philosophy. I feel awkard to admit it. I know I shouldn't feel. I love getting to know the others'. I like getting influenced, changing aim and directions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can help by providing my enthusiasm

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The very first time I experienced Couchsurfing was when I went to Danemark with a friend of mine. We were hosted by a Dane girl who attended high school in Italy for a year. The whole holiday was meant to be an opportunity to meet this very good friend of us who lives in Aarhus. But as we went there, we decided to visit Copenhagen. So the three of us, decided to ask a few couchsurfers from the city to host us for three nights. Surprisingly (with a two days notice) we had quite a large response. So we left Aarhus, and caught a bus to the capital. Unfortunately, as the bus had to go on a ferry..we lost the bus and wound up in a port in the middle of nowhere, waiting for the next bus. So as we caught the bus (two hours later) we texted our couchsurfer telling him we were running late. Most surprisingly he replied saying: "weren't you meant to come tomorrow?". At that point we were so panicked he wouldn't have accepted us. Eventually he just asked us if it was ok to attend his friend's birthday party. It has been such a good experience, our chouchsurfer was one of a kind (he gave us his bed and slept on the couch, when it should be the opposite, shouldn't it?). We really enjoyed the city and our time with our couchsurfers. As we still hear from him on facebook.

Interests

I absolutely love running into odd people (personally I particularly fancy the ones on the tube or at hyde park) observing them and taking pictures of their faces or else, of the situatiations they are in. one of my favourite photographer is Diane Arbus, whoose work was so very focused on catching these odd moments. Furthermore I am very interested in TheatreDance and Phisical theatre, I attended a theatre course for 11 years (and I'm now willing to sit for the entrance test of an academy/university here in London(yes, England unlike my home country (Italy), has a very important theatrical history and academies can also be universities that deliver degrees).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Me and my friends danced under the most violent rain in a whole summer, wearing no clothes.
Me and my friends lighted a Chinese lamp and let it fly above us.

Teach, Learn, Share
