A translation and interpretation graduate who quite often travels on exploration expeditions, I am currently living in Riva del Garda (Italy) a small lakefront community. I dread the impersonal hotel scene, and was elated when I found couchsurfing.

Also, I'm an avid reader and deep curious person.

Likes: strong spices, pinot grigio, renaissance art, vintage shops, wilderness experiences, marilyn monroe collections, mangas, camping, 50' 60' 70's music, outdoors.

Style of travel: minimalist and adventurous, enjoy the journey, the neatest folks are found in unexpected places, culture is never found in a strip mall.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am super social when I travel. It happens to me to chat with vendors, to banter with people while waiting for a train, to ask for directions even when I'm pretty sure I know where I'm going ^.^ The more people you talk to, the more people learn about your journey, the more likely that someone will say, "Hey, if you don't have a place to stay, why don't you stay at my home?"

I'm new in the couchsurfing revolution, but I adore the idea of it because it gives me insight into a culture that would be hard to get when you're staying at a hotel or hostel!!!
