CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

What about me? Oh my God.. Ask to my friends... they can tell you better than me! :)
...mmm... so.. I'm an Artist and a shoes and slippers designer. I LOVE painting and really LOVE spend my free time going around and look for Art Exhibitions or Museum, or some Artists to talk with. I really like travel, even if I didn't have so many chance till now. It's 4 years (now it's Oct.2010) I travel around China for work, and I feel like this is a big life experience, too, that I would like everybody could live once in their life. I like talking with people, but I really LOVE listening what they have to tell me about them and their life. I LOVE take pictures around, actually, they can potentially become my paintings..

PHILOSOPHY

Let's talk about it face to face!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was in Copenhagen, June 2009, for an Art Exhibition, Oksana became my friend, immediatly, and she told me about Couch Surfing.. actually, she joined me by her self!!! Thank you SO much Oksana!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first Host Experience it's been in last May, Yuki from China. It's been really nice!! I've only had 2 Experiences like a Guest but with the same Host, Max Max Max in Vicenza... he's a wonderful, strange and soulfull guy.. It's been a beautifull to share time with him and his friends.

Interests

I love painting, see my web-site: www.valentinapicchi.com
I love so much riding my motorbike, is there someone want to come with me all around the world??? I'm waiting for you :) I really LOVE it! I read so many books, often in original language (enghlish) and watching movies. I LOVE take pictures around and share my free time with my family and Friends. My really close friends. I LOVE travelling, indeed I live in 2 different place, my home town Lucca, because of my new work, and in Turin because of I spent my last 4 years there and i REALLY LOVE Turin.
