Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have made wonderful friends by renting out my home both in Sicily and in London, and I want to try moving forward by experiencing being a guest in the hope to find someone enthusiast as I am in showing the place where I live.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Currently involved in a women empowerment project in South India, collaborating with Italian entrepreneurs from the textile industry, to produce rag-dolls.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Italian (I've been taught Italian for 10 yrs as a volunteer in my hometown Palermo to the immigrants arriving from Lampedusa the tiny island in the middle of the Mediterranean sea the closest to the African shores, where all the boats full of migrants land) how to know a good wine (I'm certified) and how to prepare some of the best Sicilian recipes.
I'd love to learn more about the local culture and I can share my travel experience

What I Can Share with Hosts

some good laughs... is that a good answer? It is not a joke, I always find a good reason to smile and according to my friends my laugh is infectious
