About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Understanding the un-understandable: life

ABOUT ME

Love to travel and meet new persons. I consider myself very open, and partially this is due to the path in life, which has led me to "look inside for the answers", and I discoverd that actually we are all one.

PHILOSOPHY

Many ways/paths, one truth

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By offering a couch or a bed, depending on availability

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have shared my house with tons of people, and previoulsy I was running a B&B

Interests

I love, absolutely love food. It is the expression of hundreds, if not thousands of years of culture.
I also enjoy yoga, peacefulness (being quiet in other words...:-) ), and sharing. I love to cook, and since I grew up in the Italian part of Switzerland, my heart is particularly biased towards Northern Italian cuisine, with bits and pieces of Southern Italian recipes showing up...:-)
Lately I have been experimenting with a few dishes from the Balkans which, in reality are similar to Turkish dishes....as I mentioned, history dictates...:-).
I walk a lot, and love hiking, as well as diving (completely rusty in this department....haven't gone diving for ages...).
By passion I am a counselor right now, and I simply love helping people find the answers within, which is really the only place where meaningful, lasting answers can be found
