About Me

CURRENT MISSION

If not now, when?

ABOUT ME

I'm someone trying to catch the INSPIRATION from the world through comunication, different points of view, art, theatre, psicology, yoga disciplines, observing.
My favourite dancer Pina Bausch expresses my thought to perfection:

"What I do is OBSERVING. Perhaps it's just that!
I never did anythingelse but OBESRVING PEOPLE.
I looked at and tried to look at JUST HUMAN RELATIONS and tried to speak about.
HERE'S WHAT I'M REALLY INTERESTED IN. And I neither know what is more important than that".

PHILOSOPHY

Whatever I do, I'm creative, I try to do it in a new way, turning the down in chance of change.
Eachtime I create (relations, paintings, poems..),
God creates within me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was looking for a new way of travelling including:

* authentic "local" travel experiences told by curious, wacky persons like me
* breathtaking views and hidden places
* charming streets & weird sculptures
* specialty/unique regional cuisine
* anything worths to be explored through my inspiration

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It was so unbelievable in the beginning!
I just tried and ...voilà: LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT!!

I always hated tourist places & packed tours 4 the lack of any contact with the people and the culture of the place. Couchsurfing nourished all this...

After using this website much, I can say Cs is pretty challenging. It moves waves of energies like: trust, exchanging thoughts, moving towards differences.

Very interesting, very inspiring, brave sometimes, easy othertimes.
I like feeling the stranger as I already know him/her since long. It happened many times and it's amazing!
I've a particular itch for things remote and withholding behaviours, I've to admitt. I don't like formality and try always to smooth things if possible.
We all are here to be humans, to share interests, spread love and find peace with our inner and outer world thorugh our diversity, not to inflict harm and soul zipper.

Interests

My interests are basically humanistic and artistic. Knowing people from all over the world is an inspiring journey for me, then yoga discipline is the dimension where I connect with my true self.
Moreover:
theatre, music, cinema, dancing, learning languages, travellin', juggling, street art, challenging myself, reading and writing poems...

My main, biggest mission in life, beside knowing myself day by day, is to raise my child on my own. He's a true mission and I'm very proud about that.
It's like building an human being from zero to infinity. I think there's nothing more tiring and beautiful than that, in life. I took the chance and the ball is rolling so far so good ! :)

Music is MY LIFE:
* MADONNA is my inspiration. I grew up through her music and her eclectic changes. She is an inspiration of braveness, freedom of expression, experience the new, change, mistake, grow, improve, strong will, love for life.

My favourite kind of music are many:
Rnb, hip hop, reggae, rap, chill, pop, jazz, soul, piano, dub, psichedelic, indian, electronic, berber- tuareg music, arabic music etc. Music is a work in progress 4me, I constantly research for kicking sound everyday.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I did is definitively and simply HIM:
my forever love, my gift from life....my SON!

Then, I can say the witness of our own duality: darkness and light.
It's a costant effort, but it's a long path of accepatance and trust in urself and in life.

Teach, Learn, Share

...uhm...it sounds bad to think to teach...all is an exchange, I'd rather say to give and to receive...what I can give is showing how to cuddle a baby:))) who knows why !!:) how to cook italian food (pizza, focaccia, pasta, risotto, cakes etc), how to do some yoga excercises, how to be yourself.
I hate masks. I'm direct and transparent and usually I get the intuition of whom is in front of me
