Overview
About Me
half-human, half-unicorn; dreamer, passionate traveller, not particularly talented but incredibly curious. Always looking for new places to call home, new people to love, new questions to ask, new ways to be, new lives to live.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I strongly believe that travelling is a great tool to spread compassion and love. It encourages self-development and growth. It teaches us to open ourselves to others and to understand their perspective. Couchsurfing gives us the chance to maximise the 'benefits' of travelling by connecting people from all over the world with the only interest to meet like-minded people and enrich themselves by simply sharing an extra couch. Nothing more enriching than a good conversation between travellers!
Interests
I'm an eclectic. I have a genuine interest for everything, especially the new and unknown. I've learned to play guitar and piano, self-taught yoga, Spanish and Japanese. I love sports and the great outdoors. Climbing, running, hiking, swimming, cycling and rolling down hills. I love food. I love movement. I am an active environmentalist and wildlife enthusiast. Trying to live my life mindfully. I found in travelling the best way to satisfy my curiosity and to feel connected. Everyone I meet on the road is to me a teacher and I always keep with me a smile, a kind word, a wise thought, a trait of them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Ice climbed a glacier in Iceland! Surfed in magical Byron Bay, Australia. Camped in the bush with bears and wolves in Canada. Slept in the Ger of a nomadic family in Mongolia. Lived in a surf-house in a remote island of the Azores. Swam with sharks, rays and dolphins.
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach, Learn, Share. Probably my three favourite words!
I can teach you Italian and English. I can teach yoga and how to meditate. I can also teach some basic guitar skills. I would love to share what I know about alternative, holistic lifestyle
I want to learn languages (yes, any!) and anything about cultures. I can share my couch and some quality time with open minded passionate people :)
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can share my knowledge of London secret spots, philosophical and meaningful conversations, my hysterical laughter, my guitar. I'd love to share experiences and travel stories and to inspire and be inspired!
