About Me

Ciao! I’m an Italian visual artist who has called Brighton (UK) home for over 10 years. When I’m not working in a printing studio, making coffees, taking photos or running art workshops, I’m in London pursuing my MA in Visual Communication—safe to say, I’m a bit of a busy bee...but I love it!

PHILOSOPHY
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Travelling is my big passion. I’ve been road-tripping both solo and with friends since my early 20s, cruising through Europe, Australia, and New Zealand with my camera and the best playlists. I prefer exploring new places by day—wandering through new cities, discovering hidden gems, drawing on my sketchbook, sipping wine, taking photos. Then, in the evening, I unwind with good food, a film, or planning my next adventure. So, if you’re looking for a wild party companion, I might not be the best company...but if you enjoy great conversations, relaxed vibes, spontaneous activities or just some me-time, we’ll get along just fine :)

I enjoy meeting new people, telling them my story and listening to theirs...an exchange fo culture. Couchsurfing has been an incredible way to connect with like-minded travellers. Whether you’re up for a chat, a walk, some food, or just doing your own thing, I totally respect personal spaces and go with the flow.

FOR SURFERS:
I can't always host, but I will try my best. I'm not one of those people who uses keywords in my bio - just drop me a message with a few lines about you, why you're coming to Brighton and what your plans are! I know some people on CS don't enjoy travellers looking for a free accomodation - I genuinely don't mind. As someone who loves travelling, I realise that it's getting crazy expensive and happy to help cut the costs down :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people, asking questions about their life, how they're getting on and learning about their culture. It's always lovely to create connections and meet again in life!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I broke into Stonehenge at dusk with some friends, slipping through a hole we found in the fence. We almost got arrested but it was worth the adventure 😂
