About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy the life!

ABOUT ME

Born and grown up in one of the most beautiful places in the world, Sardinia (really!!), I studied Anthropology in Bologna (Italy) and I'm actually attending a master in Medical Anthropology in Paris et Lisbon. I've been and I'm still working on suffering and inequalities related to indigenous peoples, especially Inuit of Greenland and now Indians of Canada. I'm everyday more surprised by the incredible variety, complexity and unpredictability of life and even if I recognize it's not always (and not for everyone) easy, I feel I like it! I love art, sport, people (better if interesting!), knowing, travelling and especially the wild nature. Finally, what I'm doing my best to realize is to live everyday as if it were the last.

PHILOSOPHY

Live free or.. die!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm truly convinced that rediscover the true, genuine and honest principle of hospitality, is one of the ways (maybe little but however significant) for starting being and making the changes we would like to see in the world.. This is what motivated my participation et my actions on CS.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I mostly offered hospitality with my last (amazing!) flat-mates in Bologna, and we have always had nice or cool or interesting or awesome experiences..I'm just now starting enjoying the "other side" of the couch surfing and.. it seems great!
