About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Abolish borders

ABOUT ME

I consider myself a person that can't pretend everything is great. I feel the injustice of this world and feel the urge to try work for a change, even if considered impossible.

I'm a passionate learner and, on average, I have tons of enthusiasm.

I love suburban areas, ugly popular housing architecture and bad roads where real people live real not instagrammable lives.

CURRENT SITUATION:
I am an eclectic person unable to standardise, I mainly work with migrants between Greece, Bosnia and Italy, but I also work as a performing artist and as an artisan during markets season. At the same moment I’m finishing a master in philosophical anthropology.

In my house there is no space for racist people, islamofobic, fascist, antisemitics and zionist. Go polluting somewhere else, bye.

Free Palestine.

At the moment I’m travelling around Indonesia (Java and Sulawesi) with Gian, my life partner (9 years together).
Gian is a Philosophy major and works as a ghost writer and website developer. Gian navigates this world gently, constantly deconstructing the mainstream narratives. He is an ally and I’m so grateful we are growing together side by side.

PHILOSOPHY

Communities are transformative places. We are absolutely nothing without the others around us.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE
I just start again my couch surfing adventure after about 6years without using it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I used this platform a lot in my 20's, then stopped since life is unpredictable.
I'd love to experience CS as an "adult" now, I'm curious to see how it evolved.

Interests

I grew up half nerd half wood girl. Now I privilege the outside world but still enjoy weirdness from youtube, the Existential Comics, and of course Reddit.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy art, music, cinema. Underground culture, squats and liberated communal spaces.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I travelled by bike, hitchhiking, by train, and most of all by imagining.

Teach, Learn, Share

I produce my own organic and solid cosmetics: shampoo, soap, toothpaste, moisturizers and more. And i saw most of my gear with upcycled textiles.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer challenging thoughts, reality showers and ugly sarcasm. I can share food, hopefully some laughs, stories and also silence.
