About Me

People describe me as happy, positive, chilled and open minded, a lovely weirdo :)

I enjoy life simple (not basic), sharing wisdom, listening to life stories and doing my best to live the middle way

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To share and be surprised.
Couchsurfing inevitably exposes ourselves to many different ways to think and act as many people we met. That's why when reading profiles, I'm not expecting to find exact same interests, but looking for the vibes in it.

Interests

Philosophy, psychology, sex, love and relationships; running and workouts as a way of expression; hiking around the Highlands to perceive and be one with nature; throwing some shapes at gigs or dance floors to feel fully embodied; spoiling myself with a good meal or just eating to get energy to move on...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I decided to change my professional path from Industrial Engineer to Lighting technician after years of studies and experience, very grateful I was offered this opportunity when I moved to Glasgow. A fresh start: turning a hobby into a job. It took a time. I started from scratch and it had its ups and downs, but one day eventually I got to squeeze myself in a lovely venue and today I could not be happier :)

Update: Time passes and changes are welcomed! Lighting technician life was good, allowed me to make massive transitions in life but I felt it was not representative of who I became in the last years... So I studied, got a diploma in Massage Therapy, quit my job and now I freelance also in this new trade bringing smiles of body and mind relaxation to people :)

Update 2: Now I'm doing a COSCA course to acquire counselling skills and, who knows, become a counsellor in the near future...

Teach, Learn, Share

Awesome groovy music, running and workout techniques, recipes*, an approach to life :)

* Do never follow a recipe except baking, that's serious stuff...

What I Can Share with Hosts

Always the place where I am staying it's my home and I behave like that, clean, tidy, and so don't get surprise if you found me cooking a dinner to share and playing some music =P
