CURRENT MISSION

Live life to the full and don't let anything slip through my fingers

ABOUT ME

I was born and grew up in a small village close to Modena, in the north of Italy. I left my hometown in 2003, when I went to Barcelona to study spanish. Since then, I never stayed in the same city for too long... In 2004, I went to Portsmouth for my Erasmus scholarship, then I moved to London, where I stayed for another year and finally I got to Rome. And now Amsterdam.
I have been working as an Italian teacher for three years now. I work with bengali women, we have a lot of fun, I must admit. Scissors, brushes, markers, pencils, songs, music... this is my daily bread.
I am open-minded and laid back. I like to have people around and to get to know people. I love travelling, and I try to do it as much as I can. The problem is that I'm always broke...
I am very clean, but not really tidy. However, there is always a logic in my disorder, I swear!
Oh, I am also very very vegetarian, I am vegan. However, I don't mind having meat-eating friends ;-)
I have a bicycle, and I use it to go everywhere.

PHILOSOPHY

Hard question... Get to know the world we live in and leave the door open to any adventure/experience I might bump into along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to couchsurfing. I heard great things about couchsurfing from some friends. I will soon post my updates :-)

Interests

I love reading, my room is full of books and I have even more in my parents' house. I love movies, art exhibitions and bricolage. I like to sing, and I always sing... I love cycling and swimming. Photography, with an old analogic reflex from the 1950's.
