About Me

CURRENT MISSION

questioning myself

ABOUT ME

I love living abroad, meeting new people and learning new languageas the whole time.
I do also love going back time to time to visit my family in Italy which obviously plays an important role for me.

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe diem and try to live my life to its fullest.
And never forget the people I've met on my way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've just started and at the moment I'm leaving to Kazakhstan for three months thus... we'll see!
Unluckily at the moment I won't be able to guest anyone since I'm living at a friend's house and heading to Kazakhstan the first week of september, but as soon as I'll have a more stable housing condition I'll be more than happy to share my place and experiences.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None till now... just getting started!

Interests

languages, swimming and any water sports (I'm a swimming instructor and experienced lifeguard. Ex- synchronized swimmer and water-polo player). I also love mountains, skiing and trekking (I was born near the Swiss Alpes and I've been living there for 20 years).
I do love reading and watching movies and go to the theatre. I did also horse-back ride but I've recently had an accident whilst riding at the beginning of this year where I broke a vertebra and I had to stop.

Photography takes a big place in my life and I hope I'll be able to make out a part of my living... right now I work time to time for marriages and have had an exibition on my Turkey experience in Italy.

Music, Movies, and Books

Any type of music depending on my mood.
Love Italian movies. Do prefer movies I can have a feeling and learn something from.
Crazy about reading; in the past months "unluckily" I'm reading only books concerning my studies... a lot to do.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My six months in Istanbul living together with my six Czech friends who did become a family for me and with whom I shared good and bad aspects of one of the most enchanting city in the world!

Teach, Learn, Share

Excellent Teacher of Italian and swimming instructor!
Love cooking, especially Italian and Turkish food.
