About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Scoprire l'Italia!!!

ABOUT ME

Hum... a dreamer... I don't know. Ask my friends!

PHILOSOPHY

"The more I study, the more I learn. The more I learn, the more I know. The more I know, the more I forget. The more I forget,the less I know."
This seems to be really truth...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have no experience hosting people because, at the moment, I share a flat with two colleagues from my work. But I have friends having a great experience here and I'm meeting wonderful persons through CS and learning a lot with them, including to know better my own country. I have to thank my friends for introduce me to this project, cause to enter CS is the best thing I did in the last months!

Teach, Learn, Share

Latin is not an exciting thing, so I don't believe you'll want to learn. :)
There are lots of things I want to learn, but to be moderate, I'd love to learn to play harmonica!
