Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To quote a popular italian movie "who finds a friend, finds a treasure". I believe the best travel is not the money-saving one, but the one where you have the chance to meet special people.

Interests

I'm used to travelling with good shoes, a camera and a block of paper to write! Travels changed my mind on other countries and "other" people, happily blowing up many preconceived ideas and stereotypes. A travel means meeting and welcoming both the people on your road and their customs, by this way I try to overcome the boundaries of mass-tourism where almost everyone you met is paid to indulge. I was grown up in the Venetian countryside in Italy, so it takes me a terrible amount of time to accustom to either a city or its main spots of sightseeing, I rather prefer walking into it, strolling around seeking wonders at every corner! On the contrary, I have a fond of all of wide-opened landscapes from countryside to mountains. Before getting into my Master program I used to hike and to bike a lot on my own, I'm still up for some adventures though ;)
I'm really easy-going, pretty much on everything! Museums, movies, hanging out with friends, nature walks, social events, volunteering... so, if you have anything to suggest don't be afraid at all!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing the highest Japanese mountain, Mount Fuji, in night-time to behold a breathtaking sunrise (at 3800 m it was indeed). I also lived in two organic farms in the middle of the Japanese countryside, a very different lifestyle!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am quite curious, that's why I study anthropology. I love to get new skills and put myself in new challenges; right now I'm focusing on my master thesis, so I'm skimming books to learn how interviewing people. In the future I would like to work as a book editor! That's all I can share for the time being!
