Talkative, adaptable, curious, I like to take life in a positive perspective. I've got an easy smile, love reading, sharing experiences, and learn from people.
If in a good mood my energy is endless...

I like to take things as they come: appreciate what life gives you, enjoy at the most also situations that at a first sight look unpleasant and take bad experiences as important teachings for the future!

In the past years I started some long journeys by land and avoiding airplanes for many reasons. After discovering how amazing hitchhiking is, this is my favorite mean of transport :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i can't wait to start hosting!
until now i mostly surfed, but i'm willing to give back all the hospitality i received!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

most of my experiences were in Iran. it was so amazing to get close with people and understand all the difficulties of the society under a regime.
and i hope to share a flat with some welcoming mates so i can finally start hosting too!! i can't wait! i really feel like giving back all what i received.

Interests

degrowth: the current economic system is damaging not only the environment but also social relationships and our values, due to the individualism and competition that is prompted. I'm working on finding different ways of living based on solidarity, living more simply, and fighting against world inequalities.

Music, Movies, and Books

i found book perfect travel companions! books i read are novels and in general I prefer classics. the last book i loved was "The unbearable lightness of being" by Kundera. It's so deep that it reflects very well the complexity of human beings. Almost finished the "The star rover" by Jack London and i find it really nice and interesting.
And well, John Steinback is great! But I read just few of his books because i want to leave the amazing taste of the others for the future...
and what is life without music? even if i'm not an expert, i was always fascinated by music's powers. i usually dislike commercial music, while i prefer rock.
show me some good movies from your country! ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to do fieldwork research in a mental hospital in Benin (West Africa). The experience of living for 5 months among 200 mentally ill people, while staff members were all former patients, gave me so much! It changed my way of living in the world. Patients had so much to teach me about life!

Teach, Learn, Share

keep your mind open: you can learn something from everybody.

I love to spend time with musicians!! and would like to learn to play some music myself...who knows if the occasion will come soon!
