About Me
Please, read my profile description, above all if you are sending me a CS request. My place is not a hostel.
Also, ask for not more than 2 days please.
At the moment I'morganising the festival Handstand Extravaganza Convention 2025:

What's the relationship you have with yourself? With your body? With your talkative mind?
What makes you curious? Creative? Esplorative? Out of the crowd?
What's the impact of expectations in your life?
The real risk is to state oneself. Living in a world which leads us to be afraid of expressing, to be scared of judgement, to feel wrong when we are alone, to be afraid of failing, is very challenging. And I find myself into a path of questioning what feels good to me and in me.
And I've realised how difficult it is to be faithful to the deepest true self. You know why? Because the most difficult and hardest thing is to reach that feeling which lies in the depth of your real self, under unecessary and diruptive layers.
Do you ever wonder what is it "normal"? And also how many realities do you think exist? Is my reality the "correct" one? And is it better than yours?
...make some steps back and let's start to see the big picture...
One of my biggest passions is the art of andbalance. Which I see to be not only a physical and aesthetic expression of beauty and elegance, but it's lots of a mindful process of knowing yourself, being with yourself and grounding (on your hands :P ). It takes a long time to master this skill and you spend so much time with yourself, facing so many emotions, including frustration, sadness, hunger, but also joy, happiness, satisfaction. The handstand journey has heaps of ups and downs and it's a great teacher itself.
Sometimes we forget to enjoy the beauty of any single step which makes the journey towards our goal.
I teach handstands and help my students to be more aware of their body and to face their own fears.
I love intimacy. That intimacy that brings two people to connect in depth, to create a connection of trust and authentic relationship, whatever it be.
I'm incredibly scared, but extremely attracted, by the unknown. Because opening the doors to the unknown is the only way to allow the new to get in. I know... it's scary, and I'm still trying to push myself out there.
When I was hitchhiking in Europe I have decided to have a faith that I always want to bring with me: "The right lift will always arrive".
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love to travel and, when I'm home, I love to travel too through the experience of other travelers.
Couchsurfing is flying, travels, discovery, connections, intimacy, exploration, tastes, smells, diving, eyes, strength, feeling, togetherness, evolution, unknown, perspectives.
Interests
Circus arts: handstand, partner acrobatics, unicycle.
Playing piano and let the music flow! Creating songs, singing and playing guitar with and for friends.
Wild camping and nature exploration is something I deeply love. Above all if there is the element of water.
I do love hot springs!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
One of the most powerful and amazing experiences of my life was to hitchhike, for 4 months, from Italy to Portugal, heading to the Be-in festival, and return, without having any plans, experiencing any single moment, following intuition, taking life for what it is and connecting with beautiful souls!
Oh! And I also slept on the sea with an air mat inside a small anchored tent!
Teach, Learn, Share
I love teaching body awareness and movements through the art of handbalancing.
I love to go in depth during conversations. I am very fascinated by the way people live their lives and live their relationships.
