About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discover the world

ABOUT ME

I'm an easy going girl who loves travel around to visit new places, meet new people and share my experiences.
I'm creative, funny and openminded.
I believe that respect is one of the most important thing to keep in mind in every place you are.
I like to have always new projects to achieve: there are so many things to learn and discover in this world that I cannot stay sit and watch my life going on without taking all the possible opportunities that it offers me!
I'm a girl guide since 9 years and I really enjoyed it.
Officially tea and cat lover *.*

PHILOSOPHY

"Carpe diem"

"you've got to fight for every dream
'cause who's to know which one you let go
would have made you complete"

"This is your life and do what you love and do it often.
If you don't like something, change it.
If you don't like your job, quit.
If you don'd have enough time stop watching TV.
If you are looking for the love of your life stop; they will be waiting for you when you start doing things you love.
Stop over analyzing, all emotions are beautiful.
When you eat appreciate every last bite.
Open your mind, arms and art to new things and people, we are united in our differences.
Ask the next person you see what their passion is, and share your inspiring dream with them.
Travel often; getting lost will help you find yourself.
Some opportunities only come once size them.
Life is about people you meet and the things you create with them so go out and start creating.
Life is short. Live your and wear your passion"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Can't wait to start my couchsurfing experience!!
When I'll have my own house I'll be glad to host people from all over the world!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Till today I only hosted girls I met during my Erasmus year in Scotland or I met thanks to cultural exchange programs.
I always had great experiences.
The best thing I love about couchsurfing is the sharing of habits, stories and cultures. I think it is the best way to understand the place you are visiting.

Interests

Every time that I have days off I like to organize a trip somewhere. I like planning flights, hostels, places to visit etc..
I like to visit museums or art galleries: I love Leonardo da Vinci art, Italian renaissance, the Impressionists and Picasso.
I like to spend time with my friends, shopping as every girl, watch soccer, go to dance classes, cross stitching (check my blog), puzzles, cats (I have 3: Giuliano, Kate and Chichi), read romantic and adventurous books, speak and watch movies in english.
