ABOUT ME

The world in my mind is chaos.
...but I'm pretty nice, so relax.

Easy-going, quiet, respectful.
Good listener, sometimes good at talking too.

Morning person, it's more likely I'll end up in bed early in the evening.
Sorry, sometimes I'm a bit old inside. I'm not boring, I swear!
...at least, I hope so.

But. I have a problem with food. That's it, my stomach is a mess, sorry.

NOW

At the moment, I'm doing *barararararara...* NOTHING! *ba-dum-dass*
It would be so woooonderful to travel but, well, for now I'm in a trance phase. Will it ever end? Oh well I hope so but, meh, but, but, but...
I don't know if I will ever be accepting guests, I would love to, but at the moment I live with my parents so... Wait for me, World!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Let's talk about it. A life travelling?
Wow, it would be great. Cool. Amazing!
Not for me, no, I'm not the person, it's difficult it's...

Shut. The. Hell. Up. Grace.

Well, I've never thought about it. A website like this? Uthopy.
But there it is, so here I am, I guess.

I love to know people. Maybe at the beginning I'm like "OhmyGodwhyIamherewhyIdidthisareyoutalkingtomeohcrapwhattheHellshouldIsayhelp" but it's just the start, I'm always like that, I'm a bit of a socially anxious, it's all right.

Anyway, the fact is... I like people. Well, not every person, but I like to meet guys and gals and to hear their stories. I'm a writer, I take the clue from everything.

Interests

WRITING
Like a lot. I really write a lot.
Sometimes I go around complaining about how bad is my writing and how much I hate my writer's block, but I'm a good girl.

DRAWING
Well, not so much as I used to, but sometimes, yeah. People, animals...
I'm likely to ask you to pose too. It's just for the love of art - I need to draw that freaking pose of someone eating sushi under the table, come on.
(Obviously you can refuse.)

VISITING
I love to see things I've never seen.
Love museum, love parks, love nature...
But I don't like spending money so, well... Who does?

LANGUAGES
I love languages.
It's amazing to know different languages and communicate with people. That's why I translate, anyway.
I know Italian and English, I'm kinda (very kinda) studying Japanese... but I think I can understand a bit of French from my previous studies and... Spanish, maybe? I don't know. Anyway I don't know how to speak them, so... meh.
I'm currently interested into Swedish, Norwegian, Japanese, Scottish Gaelic, Irish Gaelic and some others random Norse languages. I can sing Vem Kan Segla Forütan Vind! ....with a terrible pronunciation, but--
And I freaking love accents. Those're fantastic, even if I can barely understand.

ANIMALS
I love animals! (so no problem at all with pets)
(Any pet, really, I love snakes too, I like spiders...)

VIDEOGAMES
Rpg, simulation, action, strategy... I grew up in games.
Sorry, no serious average adult here.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think the most incredible think I've done in my life is attending the Academy of Manga.
Yeah, I know, some of you may say "...so what? It's just a school."

Well, it wasn't.

It was an experience of 7 months in a place in the middle of nowhere, in Tuscany.
No towns, no other people than my 21 schoolmates and dormmates. We were always there, drawing, laughing...
It has been amazing.
We shared a lot of things, adventures. They were like a family for me, it's something I'll never forget. I've learnt a lot there.
I couldn't explain it with such few words but, who knows? Maybe one day, if you wish for, I will tell you!

Then there is Tokyo. We went in Japan together, me and my schoolmates, and that has been an amazing experience. I love that country, I love that town, I love those people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm opened to learn almost everything.
...Well, maybe not EVERYTHING, but a lot of things, of course.

I'm always ready to assimilate a new language, and I'm willing to teach you mine (Italian).

I'm also ready to draw together. I love to draw with others, I used to practice a lot with my schoolmates when I was attending Academy.

I can share stories and experiences, as long as a simple chat!

(And we can always play videogames together, mate.)
