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.
