About Me

ABOUT ME

I can't be still, I'm always on the go.
I lived for one year in Italy, in Firenze, where I studied and worked. Now England is my basis. I worked there this year as a language assistant, and I will be in UK for some more years.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I used to use Hospitality Club before (fantastic trip to Sweden with a group of friends, amongst others).
I surfed in Australia last summer with a friend of mine and we met amazing, original and various people there, all fantastic guests.

Interests

Reading, tea drinking, talking endlessly about books, cinema, theatre, painting, Argentine tango, other dances (ballet, Graham, contemporary and clubs!), philosophy, anthropology, art theory and history, hunting Space Invaders and their little brothers, wine-drinking.
