Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Enjoying life, finding a friend in every stranger
ABOUT ME
I travel to the Peruvian rainforest to learn from the Shipibo Conibo healing tradition. I love life and see in every stranger a potential friend.
PHILOSOPHY
I live the life I chose, not the one I got :)
This is the first time I had to think of my philosophy; I have few rules to live my life, but they are important to me: Do no harm, to myself or others, respect differences among people, that is what makes us PEOPLE. "Ama llulla, ama quella, ama sua": don't lie, don't steal, don't be lazy... Best legacy of the Inka Culture. Take care of your self: your mind, your body, your spirit.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I joined the CS Project thanks to friends I met during my travels; they told me about it and I found it very interesting, honest and welcoming. I hope one day we all can have a couch for a new friend, talking to travelers, listening to our hosts and just sharing with people. This project contributes to make a better and closer world founded on trust, friendship and solidarity. I hope this keeps growing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
