Hi, I’m Simone.
I’m a medical doctor who moonlights as a jazz singer and an aspiring swing dancer. I thrive on contrasts: science keeps me grounded, creativity keeps me sane. I enjoy getting lost in a chaotic night out as much as finding myself in the quiet of a good book—though I might just be seeking out for people to make either of those more interesting.

At work, I’m all precision and professionalism (hard to believe, I know). Outside of it, I follow my whims and the kind of adventures that start with, “Why not?”

I’m intrigued by people who surprise me—those with lighthearted depth, quick wit or the confidence to laugh at themselves (or at me, if I deserve it). If you’ve got a story to tell, an unexpected talent, or just an amusing way of looking at the world, I’ll be happy to meet you

As a host, I don’t settle for offering a couch—I offer a conversation, a shared bottle of wine, and maybe a chance to turn the living room into a dance floor. Who knows?

If this sounds like fun, let’s see where it goes. Life’s too short to stick to the predictable.

I am no longer hosting for now

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to socialize and hang out, capture the beauty of diversity, give hints to foreign people about Naples, host at home when possible. I want to have a great life and catch the magic of everything I can, even add it, if I manage

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walked on the street in slippers, slept on a wooden table, sang on the streets and in locals, improvised in jam sessions and poetry sessions, wrote a book of short stories, lended my bike to a total stranger with the trust of having it back, had it back, spent a night with a small size criminal, nude photo shooting for an artistic project against church persecutions, wrote a hundred messages linked on a hundred baloons freed in the air (i didn’t really do the latter one, but I’d love to, one day)
