About me.

🎭 I've a creative life, not because I worked as an actress for more than ten years, but because thanks to this I've learned the art to get a new kind of job, sometimes in a different town, at least every three months 🎢.

🚵 When I moved to Rome, even if I was scared of traffic, I decided to ride a bicycle to get around such a big city and save some money. In 2012 my creative attitude led me to become the spokewoman of a viral campaign named #salvaiciclisti ("save people who ride bicycles"), born in order to create better cities and non hostile streets. In less than three months we got involved about 50.000 people, who joined us all together for our first demonstration in Rome.
🚴🚵🚴.

🇨🇦 On 2017 I moved to Montréal for the International Experience of Canada (IEC), obtaining an employed-specific work permit in the field of hospitality.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm interested in dedicating myself to traveling and volunteering, in order to learn, get a better and joyful connection with people, share some experiences, knowledge, values, meals, and a bit of happiness instead of money. A couch is always a good idea.

Interests

I love cooking together and sharing meals.
I feel better when I listen.
I need going to cinema alone.
I'm a bit writing addicted.
