Born and raised in Italy , in 2014 I decided to study International Relations and Spanish in the UK. Already an avid traveller, I embraced all the opportunities offered by my University which allowed me to travel all over the world. I spent three summers studying in China, did my International Exchange Semester in Australia living in a multicultural hostel and backpacked through South East Asia. I then moved to Argentina for my Year Abroad working as an intern for an NGO. Before returning to Europe I backpacked for 100 days through Bolivia and Peru with my partner.
Straight after my graduation I worked in a EU Project in Kazakhstan and then moved to the most amazing city in the world, London.
For both personal and work-related reasons I have now moved back to Italy. Here I work as a Consultant in the area of Facilitated Finance and in my free time I love discovering the hidden gems of Rome.
I also try to live sustainably as much as possible, step by step working towards a zero-waste, zero-harm and low-emissions life.

PHILOSOPHY

Muere lentamente
quien se transforma en esclavo del hábito, repitiendo todos los días los mismos trayectos,
quien no cambia de marca, no arriesga vestir un color nuevo y no le habla a quien no conoce.
Muere lentamente
quien evita una pasión, quien prefiere el negro sobre blanco y los puntos sobre las "íes" a un remolino de emociones, justamente las que rescatan el brillo de los ojos, sonrisas de los bostezos,
corazones a los tropiezos y sentimientos.
Muere lentamente
quien no voltea la mesa, cuando está infeliz en el trabajo,
quien no arriesga lo cierto por lo incierto para ir detrás de un sueño,
quien no se permite por lo menos una vez en la vida, huir de los consejos sensatos.
Muere lentamente quien no viaja,
quien no lee, quien no oye música,
quien no encuentra gracia en sí mismo.
Muere lentamente
quien destruye su amor propio, quien no se deja ayudar.
Muere lentamente,
quien pasa los días quejándose de su mala suerte o de la lluvia incesante.
Muere lentamente,
quien abandona un proyecto antes de iniciarlo, no preguntando de un asunto que desconoce o no respondiendo cuando le indagan sobre algo que sabe.
Evitemos la muerte en suaves cuotas, recordando siempre que estar vivo
exige un esfuerzo mucho mayor que el simple hecho de respirar.
Solamente la ardiente paciencia hará que conquistemos una espléndida felicidad.
Martha Medeiros

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I discovered Couchsurfing in 2011 while reading a travel book. As I couldn't host at the time, I started meeting travellers visiting my town. When I finished high school and started travelling both alone and with my partner CS has become part of my adventures.

If I can't host, I will happily meet or help fellow couchsurfers.
