Overview
About Me
I am a Medicine student, but I like to think that someday I will also be an Art student, a History student... I don't like exams, but I love learning.
I always carry my camera around. You never know when you will find something interesting around you.
Little things I like. Well, I like cheese. I love cheese (any). I love eating, actually (whenever, wherever), so you see, it's not hard to make me happy. I like not knowing what time it is and feeling the day slow down around me. I like staying up late, reading until I fall asleep, and then waking up with a book in my hands. I love long talks. Also long walks. And thinking while I run. And reading in the beach with a friend. And cooking (oh, here we go, back to the food...). Dancing in the shower to the beat of "Wake me up before you go-go". Swimming in the sea. The smell of chestnuts in the streets. Exploring little shops and libraries in foreign cities when I travel. Being on my own, sometimes. Being with friends, most of the time.
Things that I don't like so much. I don't like walking around, or running, with headphones (what's so bad about hearing what's going on around you?). I don't like discos; I'm more of a movie-night kind of person, or in any case, a good-music-concert kind of person. I don't like the sand sticking to my skin (though it's worth it in exchange for a good swim). I also don't like it when a movie or a book end... some stories should last forever.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I spent one year in the United States, in Colorado, as an exchange student. To me that was an amazing year. I stayed with a family, so it was kind of a very, veeeeery long couchsurfing experience ;)
