About Me

👋 Hi, I'm a 29-year-old Sicilian!
I moved to Florence when I was 18, where I studied and worked for several years before deciding to leave everything behind.
Since then I've been a nomad.
While I was an Erasmus intern in Porto I met people that taught me the basis and I started backpacking alone.

📍 I’ve been traveling around Spain for the past few months. Now I’m heading to Tenerife, where I’d love to stay for a while, find a job or project to join, and save a bit for my adventures next year!
I live simply and stay open to what it comes.
Every rejection is a redirection 🕊️

I cannot host for now!
For the past year I was living in Slovakia with my partner, Samuel (I can send you his profile if you need a place in Banská Bystrica).

👣👣 Sometimes we travel together:
We are both respectful, friendly, helpful, easygoing, hospitable, responsible, and trustworthy. We deeply appreciate any generosity we receive and are always happy to reciprocate. We are non-smokers, eco-conscious, and open-minded with a forward-thinking attitude. While we have our own opinions, we are always eager to explore new concepts, theories, and perspectives.

A note for potential hosts:
As a mostly solo female traveler, I feel the need to add this (even though I wish it weren’t necessary): I am not here for anything sexual—Couchsurfing is NOT the place for that for me.

To confirm that you've read and understood this, please include the word "PONY" in your message. If you don’t, I won’t consider your offer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Whether I am the host or others offer me shelter... I like to live truly the place I'm passing by, I want to create connections and memories, the best souvenir.

Interests

✨ I explored my talents in different fields of design, art, spirituality

🦚 I'm available for braking ice in karaoke and dancefloors!

🌱 My lifestyle is trying to be as much sustainable and low-impact as possible for me. I enjoy cooking and eating vegan meals. Also because I don't support the killing of animals for consumption.

Music, Movies, and Books

🎶 I like music, all the genres, from the most commercial to the niche ones.

📖 I reads book to learn about things that I'm interested in: personal growth, feminism, communication, art and design. I had also read some classics to be able to say that I did, and in the end I also liked it.

🎬 Cloud Atlas, Poor things, Grand Budapest hotel, Shrek!
I saw "the Godfather" so when the ppl said "MAFIA" to the fact I'm Sicilian I know what they were talking about 🫠

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in a tent for 2 months in Porto... Some time after I traveled from Lagos to Lisbon one week backpacking trip with my tent, heating the way in hitchhiking.

🧚🏻‍♂️ By hitchhiking with a friend, stopped for us the major of the village we were directed to. This man didn't just bring us there but also offer food and a tour!

Ohhh there are many magic moments that I can share about my journey

Teach, Learn, Share

💞 I love learning from others about both practical and intangible things. It's nice simply being present, aware and engaged in life!

✨ Improvisation is one of my best skills! We will see what is gonna bring the moment.

🇮🇹 We can speak in Italian if you want to learn and if you are practicing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Think of me as a butterfly—fluttering in to ponder the meaning of life while simultaneously trying not to trip over a coffee table. Let's make this an unforgettable exchange of kindness!
