CURRENT MISSION --> Moving back to the roots! After a few years traveling and living in different places and countries, I’m moving back to my home town, which I barely know :)

I'm an environmentalist (currently working as a conservationist for WWF) and love having an outdoors lifestyle, tanned hands and feet forever!

I like art and design but -unfortunately- I am not talented for any of them (as to play guitar). So bring an instrument, show me your music, books or arts and I'll be happy.

Passionated traveller, I joined CS in 2007, and enjoyed it A LOT! Current CS is not exactly the project I joined years ago (I joined an non-profit organisation that turned out to be a B-corp making money out of our data). I have just joined BeWelcome, which sounds like a nice option.

Check my profile at http://www.bewelcome.org/members/AMANITA00

BeWelcome is still not such a big community, so I use both as I really believe in the CS principles (well, I keep defining myself as "couchsurfer")!

PHILOSOPHY "What goes around comes around".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING IS NOT JUST A BED FOR FREE. If that's what you are looking for, this is not the site nor the person you need to contact.

I won't be bothered to answer a copy/paste request, so if you really want to stay with me, please take the time to read my profile, mention why and, at least, my name.

I really believe in the project as a way to tear down cultural borders and learn from others, so if you are looking for a cultural exchange, there I am!

Interests

Hiking
Birdwatching.
Travelling (that is obvious).
Nature and having an "outdoors lifestyle", simple and respectful.
Learning languages (perhaps cause I love chating? ;)) although I dont speak so many (-not yet!).
Vultures and wolves!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I’m horrible at classifying music into genres but I enjoy pretty much all kinds of live music.

Books: I once worked in a bookshop, it was almost as "horrible" as to work in a chocolate factory. “A hundred years of solitude”, managed to finish it, promise, and it is among my favourites.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Met two of my great grandmothers.
Crossed Lapland in a 9-days hike.
Flipped pancakes over.
Eaten chocolate with chillies (yuck!)
Spent a couple of weeks with a tribe in Senegal.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you something about birds if you know nothing. I’m not bad at teaching languages either.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm not a party animal but I can definitely offer a nice dinner, beers and conversation, then get up early and go for a hike :) or any other outdoor activity.
