About Me

I'm a psychologist working in the online travel market. I now work at www.openmondo.com : we provide online travel guides made by locals and that's something close to my values: doing things bottom-up and not top-down.

I mainly live in Milan but i grew up in tiny village in the Alps heart. A place where kids can walk to school on their own, where everybody knows everybody and that can be annoying but safe at the same time.

I moved more than once in the last 15 years: changed city, country and continent! It's how i like it: life is un-expectable.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because, as I wrote already, I'm curios! I truly believe in the added value of a trip done meeting locals instead of spending time in fancy hotels.
To me also getting in touch in travellers is a trip: you get to see the world from another point of view.

Interests

I love meeting people and travelling: my curiosity helps me a lot.
I'm into reading, watching biographical movies, going out for a walk and get lost, doing yoga and photography (I'm trying to deal with my reflex during weekends).

I like improvisational theatre and I believe it's a powerful educational tool.

Eventually I learned a bit of surfing and I go deep in new things that life offers me during the path.
