ABOUT ME

I am a talkative, easy-going globetrotter born in ex-USSR, grew up in Italy and living in China for more than 3 years.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live.
Impossible is nothing.
Give and you will be given.
What goes around, comes around.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been living in many countries, always sharing space with other people, which allowed me to learn how to spend a quality time with people, giving space and respecting mutual needs.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This is the story that I like more among the stories created by all amazing people that I had luck to host in my Venician apartment.
Once in Venice, while crossing in a hurry St.Marco Square, something catched my eye. There was a young woman standing next to a white sheet with many colorful rectangles spread all over it. Fascinating paysages, shots of something meanigless but full of feeling, the world of poetry and music enclosed in 10x15 format. Magic.
Our conversation turned out to be pleasant and fun. And when I heard that they have not made any plans on their overnight accomodation yet, it came natural to me inviting her and her boyforend to stay at my place. That's how our friendship started.

Interests

I like reading. Either something really nerdy, or totally stupid and fun. Like neon signs and fairy tales.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sagrada Familia seen from the underground escalator. The more you go up, the more it discloses, culminating with an unexpected, overwhelming sense of beauty and perfectness.
Sailing the boat. Sun, wind, waves and you just fluctuating with them in a silent, harmonious flow.
