CURRENT MISSION
I am taking a gap year starting from January 2019. I am going to spend 3 months in Israel e do not know yet about the rest. Starting a new project, collecting stories from any kind of people, the only criterion will be that you want to tell me about you :) I want to improve my listening skills and keep learning not to judge anyone.
I want to work as a therapist and I believe I can offer a lot to people, in terms of giving them comfort and warmth. I'm always in the process of truly learning to love myself, in my everyday life, not being very strict like I used to be, trying not to judge myself so easily like I used to, learning to be gentle with myself as I am with all my friends...good training.
I look much more quiter then I really am.
I feel home where my friends are.
I love to be honest and tell the truth as much I can.
I am interested in REAL things and it doesn't matter if I don't like them at the beginning, or at the end
if I could paint to describe myself I'd use red ,green and a touch of gold.

PHILOSOPHY
not having one

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like hosting people when I feel that we may share something beautiful, and when I look for a host I try to choose someone who makes me think 'wow life is great!' I can't host at the moment because I'm a guest myself. But write me if you want to drink a tea with me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I really appreciate CS, for lots of reasons:
1-when someone opens you the door it is a magic moment, so we don't have to waste that gift
2-I am really curious about people and communication
3-It is really important to me to trust people and to get their trust back
4-I love taking care of people giving them a safe roof and something to eat ( you may say I'm like people from the south of Italy who want you to fill your stomach till death); it makes me feel as I was in the middle-age offering a shelter to pilgrims! And of course it's nice getting a friendly and warm welcome when I am a guest, I'm usually very grateful.
