About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Discovering myself o creating myself?
ABOUT ME
I'm from Sardinia, a beautiful Italian island in the centre of the Mediterranean Sea. I grew up in a small city on the mountains and after my university studies I went back to my place of origin planning to spend the rest of my life there...well...things took another turn! I left many "things" for travelling and discovering more about myself! :-)...Spain, UK, Bolivia, India...UK again...Spain...Bolivia...Peru...UK again...
PHILOSOPHY
"The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.
St. Augustine
"A different language is a different vision of life"
Federico Fellini
"The limits of my language means the limits of my world."
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
When I was living in Santiago de Compostela (Spain), my flatmate started to use it and I thought that it was a great idea! :-)
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
My first hosting experience was in Santiago de Compostela (Spain) where we used to host so many people from different countries who enriched our lives! My first surfing experience was in INDIA (Goa) where a nice guy generously offered his place and company. I'll always remember his kindness! :-)
Interests
I love travelling, cycling and discover new activities. I spend my free time reading, practicing sport in the open air and dancing a lot. I've recently fell in love with forró a North Brazilian music/dance that's I really enjoy. I'm from an island and I feel homesick when I'm far from the sea!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I lived in the Bolivian Amazon with an indigenous family sleeping in a tent inside their thathced hut in the middle of the reiforest. I was there for my Master dissertation research about educational gender gap.
Teach, Learn, Share
Well...I still have so many things to learn...about people, about me and this crazy world that move so fast! Something to teach? Mmmmm.... probably I could just share my experiences and I'm sure that with someone else contribution there will be something good to learn. :-)
