About Me

I love food, sunsets, dancing, singing aaaand talking! I talk a lot!

IMPORTANT - FOR POTENTIAL GUESTS!!
I DO NOT live in Rome! CS may show me among hosts in Rome, but my house is at least 1 hour away from Rome, so please don't get in touch if you're looking for a place to stay in the Eternal City!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I see hosting as "passive travelling". I hosted a lot in the first years and stopped when I moved to Senegal, but I have very good memories (and a lot o nice pics) with my guests. It really made my days!

I like company, but I tend to postpone things when I have guests and I've gotta learn not to!!

As for being hosted, I like to travel in the most genuine way possible and CS has given me tis opportunity several times. Being hosted by someone local, or just sleeping in a house instead of a hotel, allows you to immerse yourself in the place and culture and get a much deeper glimpse than you would by staying at a hotel. It's funny and definitely enriching.
