Where to start? Philosophy graduate, English but with an Italian passport. I grew up in the Italian mountains and the thirst for nature and culture has never waned, even through my years in Cardiff.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To share the world with like-minded people!

Interests

I grew up in nature and learnt from a young age to appreciate it fully. Now that I'm educating myself more I'm desperate to do something for the environment and to change the way we live.
I'm also a very creative person, I enjoy any type of art, but particularly the visual forms: I do a lot of photography at the moment, but you may catch me drawing or painting or writing!
Music is one of the building blocks that is most key to my person. I play a couple of instruments, namely guitar and some piano; listening to music really shapes me though. There is nothing I won't listen to, as long as I find creativity in it, and I love discovering little-known artists.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Life without electricity at Cabo Polonio, Uru. Living the bare minimum and discovering the true necessities of a human in Rio Ceballos, Arg.

Teach, Learn, Share

My interests vary incredibly, and I'm eager to learn as much as I can about anything. I'm happy to help teach some English, Italian, or a some photography skills too, though I'm not a pro. I love sharing things I've learned, but I don't have a comprehensive list!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Wine, long conversations, music, easy laughter. I love cooking too so I'd love to make at least a meal for you /together.
