CURRENT MISSION

To be able to "pay it forward" after having had the most incredible experience Couchsurfing throughout Europe .

ABOUT ME

I'm originally from Italy and grew up in South Florida. For the past 4 years, I have been living and working in Washington DC. I truly love this city and love showing it off to visitors and demonstrating that there is so much more to this place than just politics! I work in television and feel very fortunate to do what I love.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted and surfed for a year when I lived in Spain and got hooked! I love hosting people here in DC as often as I can, and hope to embark on another trip of my own again soon...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

After recommendations from several different friends who had all participated in some capacity, I decided to give the CS experience a shot. I Cs-ed all around Spain and then for 2-months while I backpacked through Europe, I have only had wonderful experiences (both hosting and surfing). I have met some really incredible people and it has completely changed the way I travel and experience cities! It's such a great idea and program. I often find myself being an advocate for CS and defending it to people who think they know what it's all about but have actually never tried it themselves. :)

兴趣

After having traveled all around Europe last year, I had been looking forward to actually having the opportunity to explore my own back yard this year, as I have never really traveled in the US. As luck would have it, I found a job that allows me to do just that. It's been great, as I am having the chance to travel to interesting places throughout America.
Most recent places: Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa.

Moreover, I have a huge passion for Film! I enjoy experiencing different people and cultures, laughing (especially inappropriately),languages, music, pop culture and did I mention traveling? :)

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Hmm...
· I attended President Obama's inauguration.
· I climbed to the top of Masada, floated in the
Dead Sea and celebrated New Year's Eve with a
Bedouin tribe in the desert while in Israel.
· I was fortunate enough to shoot my senior thesis
short film in my hometown of Umbria, Italy.
· I got to film the live feed of the now world-famous, Decorah Eagles. And I was able to see it go from 7 million hits to 200 million hits and counting! In fact, this stream was recently bestowed with the amazing title of "most watched live stream from a single source -- ever."(ustream.tv/decoraheagles)

...I look forward to seeing and doing many more amazing things in my life!
