i'm a very creative girl, strong and active. I love doing outdoor sports like climbing, hiking, running... i like drawing, cooking, traveling, camping, listen to music and have fun with simple things like barbecue or simply stay together playing the guitar... I work as architect and I like my job, but sometimes I feel tired of PC and I would like to just run into the nature!

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
one of my values is: do what you would like the others to do with you. I don't know if it makes sense in english, anyway the meaning is that I am on Couchsurfing to host people, I really like to help travellers, and I would like other people to give the favour back. I believe in karma somehow. This attitude belongs to me since I was really young. I remember ones, I was 12 yo or so, I saw a guy with his bike, he was the first traveller I met. I walked by, and after a while I went back, took a deep breath to encourage myself, and I started to chat with him (in a funny english) and I invited him to my place to eat with my family and have a shower. My mom wasn't really as happy as me for that.
Music, Movies, and Books
I love rock music, but I enjoy any music that makes me feel happy and a crazy (use to sing and dance like a crazy beast). I also have to admit I am stuck to the 90'.. In general, my favourite artists are Ben Harper, Jovanotti, The Doors, Les Zeppelin, De Andre. Books: I am super slow in reading, but I love relaxing on the grass with a good book. One of my favorite is Shantaram .
One Amazing Thing I've Done
there are many, but the first amazing thing that comes to my mind is a climbing holiday I had few years ago. We went to Malta in December and we, a group of 5, slept in a cave for two weeks. Totally surrounded by nature, sea and rocks, pure wilderness. A jump in the freezing sea was our shower, an open fire was our stove top. Unforgettable.
Teach, Learn, Share
teach.. let me think.. I don't consider myself good in something enough to teach. I used to help kids with maths homeworks, and I was pretty good in it. I love learning this for sure. I am good in cooking and I love to cook with other people and share recipes. Actually I love to share any kind of hand crafting/artistic work!
What I Can Share With Hosts
Joy, smart and less smart conversations, my knowledge and my attitude.
