CURRENT MISSION

Love is everywhere in the air.

ABOUT ME

I am the quiet type, loving philosophy, art and languages. I like traveling and conversing. Since my motherhood my travels don't go as far as they used to. Fortunately my son is also nomadic, so we hit the road very often.

PHILOSOPHY

Having studied philosophy I am humbled of having one of my own. All in all, I am more led by questions than by statements.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I often use couchsurfing to define the itinerary of my travels - I prefer meeting people to seeing all so-called places-of-interest prescribed by travel guides.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It is a truly wonderful system! It has given me new friends. There can't be a better proof.

Interests

I am a voracious reader, lately mostly of non-fiction. During the last years I have developed an interest for sociological issues. I am interested in alternative ways of living, which are taking root in many places nowadays.
I love philosophy and am always looking for ideas that challenge my views on the world, that make them more accurate.
I love gaining clarity in my own thoughts by writing them down.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Starting to travel on my own and discovering how great that is and how many amazing things you get to do or see that way.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like learning just as much as teaching. I like sharing my knowledge of languages and philosophy. I am also a fan of yoga, albeit a somewhat undisciplined practitioner - eager to learn more!
