About Me

ABOUT ME

I am a good person,a reliable and funny friend,an experienced teacher,curious,sensitive,always wanting to meet new people to share interest with or simply to get to know other cultures and others' life experience;,I have a good sense of humour,mediterranean style,and I see the sunny side of things quite often;I am tenacious,which I believe is a good quality if well "driven",most of the times it has prized me and when it hasn't it was a good lesson.

PHILOSOPHY

..Never look back,you've already been there!Listen to people instead of talking too much..there's always something to learn....

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can host at weekends but not all year long since,usually in August I am away, I have a nice flat and live with my partner,there's a comfortable couch,my 1st guest has told me!

Interests

I like..Beauty,in all its forms:Nature,animals,people,Art,cities,I love my job which gives me the chance to know what people are like and challenges my teaching skills:most of my students are adults who want to improve their English for job reasons but most of them don't feel at ease when they have to go back to studying!I like hiking and camping,I like reading(English and Italian contemporary literature),I am a movie-goer, I love photography, I love..Rome! I have been visiting it since my university years and I always get to know some corners I have never seen before! I lv visiting museums and exibitions and getting to London anytime I can!
