CURRENT MISSION The most difficult challenge: learn to let go ABOUT ME Travelling and exploring the world is what I love doing the most. Seeing new places, getting in touch with different cultures, experiencing new things makes life interesting and exciting. I like walking a lot when I am in a new place, I think it's the best way to see around and discover every corner of a city... but I especially like when I can be in contact with nature... and I love the sea, the sun and hot temperatures! I am a quiet person, not too talkative, but I can talk a lot if I feel at ease with someone. I am a cats lover and I am also interested in languages, I would like to learn them all but unfortunately I have no time :) PHILOSOPHY The only mistakes we do in our life are the things we don't do

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I started by hosting some travellers in my town, and it was awesome! When I travel, I always try to contact some local people, because it always turns out to be the most exciting part of a journey. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Every Couchsurfing experience I have had was great and I find it the best way to travel. Not only for being hosted, but for meeting people and discovering local cultures.
Music, Movies, and Books
I enjoy listening to music, especially latin american music. About movies I have a big problem: I love watching movies, but I regularly forget about them after some weeks I have seen them! Similar thing happens with books, but I love reading. One of my favourite authors is Tiziano Terzani. One of my favourite books is "Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China". And I have recently read "The shadow of the sun" by Ryszard Kapuściński, which I loved. It would be great to hear some suggestions about books to read, if you have any favourites!
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I have walked all the way up to Mount Kilimanjaro, and I saw the sun rising from the top of the mountain... I didn't believe I would manage to reach the top, as I felt I was dying many times... but the view from there was one of the most amazing thing I have ever seen and one of the most intense experiences of my life!
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you how to prepare a great tiramisu :-)
What I Can Share With Hosts
Depending on my schedule, sometimes I like to cook together or going out for pizza, or inviting my guests to join my activities. If I have time, a walk in the city... or any other spontaneous decision!
My Interests
