About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Moving to New York in September!

ABOUT ME

I travel the world working as a freelance journalist, which is pretty nice. Living in Oslo, Norway at the moment.

PHILOSOPHY

Anyone who rides a bike is a friend of mine!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting and surfing!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosting in Oslo, surfing in Italy and Eastern Europe + uncountable number of meetings in Rome.

Interests

Traveling, food, wine, books, movies, music, languages, yoga...did I mention traveling? I love being outdoors, hiking, biking or just relaxing at the beach a sunny day. I prefer long trips to week end trips, off the beaten track to mainstream traveling, Italian wine to French, strange movies to blockbusters, but hey, isn't this what we're supposed to chat about over a glass of wine???

Music, Movies, and Books

Any movie by Almodovar and Medem, any book by Kundera. The Shadow of the Wind by Zafon is my current favorite, I´ve read it in four languages:)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went by bike from Asti to Sicily spring 2007. 1600 kilometers of pure fun. Not to mention all the great wine breaks...:)

Walked across Spain (El camino de Santiago) fall 2011. Awesome!
