About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore this wonderful world as much as I can, meet REAL, TRUE, GENUINE people and make my life an exciting experience.

ABOUT ME

Traveling is the most addictive, wonderful thing.

Since I left Italy to spend an High School year in Texas I haven't been able to stay in one place for too long and spend the past few years traveling in and outside Europe, pushing myself as far as New Zealand.

I am now back in Milan, enjoying my time at home before the next trip. Ring me up if you're in town and I'll show you around!

PHILOSOPHY

Life's and adventure, make the best of it.

Be the change you want to see in the world. (M. Gandhi)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately, I can't host at the moment, but I'm more than keen to show you around Milan! Wanna have a taste of the best 'aperitivo' in Milan or explore the city by night? You've got it!

I might even join you in one of your backpacking adventures (or vice-versa?)!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed chez Ludo in Montpellier and it's been a very positive experience. Having some difficulties in finding a flat, my host let me stay for a whole week and I'll never be grateful enough. I've also met up with quite a few people for a coffee or a drink, while showing them the cool and interesting sides of Wellington (NZ) and Milan.

Interests

I love anything related to arts, from music to theater. When I'm not running around looking for something exciting things to do I enjoy laying on a green park (especially on a sunny day), eating lots of gelato (or any kind of food really, as long as there's chocolate, cheese or soy sauce), hiking, and the list goes on and on!

I have a real passion for foreign languages and the next ones on the list are Mandarin Chinese and Brazilian Portuguese.

I have to admit, not very sporty, but I do enjoy outdoor activities and I can definitely pull out some moves on the dance floor.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite book: Dracula, by Bram Stoker, the Harry Potter saga and Mitch Albom's Tuesdays with Morrie and The Five People you Meet in Heaven.

Music: everything but pop. Rock, punk, grunge, ska, reggae, R&B, D&B, dubstep, bluegrass... and well, it depends on the band of course!

Movies: Tarantino and Almodòvar are among my favorite directors. I love independent movies and all Pixar creations!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I could say that I saw a UFO once, but after a while my granny and I realized that it was just the light of a crane blinking in the dark...

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn how to cook new, foreign dishes, speak new languages, how to play the guitar, and above all I want to learn the "essence" of new cultures.

Everyone can teach something just by sharing stories and experiences. I can teach you a little bit about the Italian culture, especially that of Milan (this is quite a complex subject matter tho, as I don't define myself as the typical "Milanese girl"), how to cook some Italian dishes, and of course how to truly appreciate real gelato :-)
