About Me

At the moment I am in Italy but I will, really soon, travelling to Asia to do some volunteering and discovering the continent, for few months.

SHORT BACKGROUND
I am Italian and my parents say to me no one lived abroud in our family but I am sure someone did, maybe really long time ago, but someone did it. How much time do you have ? :) I studied in Italy, Pedagoy and Human Rights. I did, in the other century for real, the Erasmus project (was also my final thesis subject). After that I partecipated in other European projects like: "Leonardo" in UK (Reading) and the "Erasmus for young enterpreneurs" in Barcelona. I did volunteering in NYC for the Horticultural Society and in Madrid, for the Fundacion Vida Sostenible, like webwriter. Both were related to the green education and sostenibility.

I was working like teacher in Italy and abroud: United Kingdom, Spain, Turkey and Colombia.

In the last year I am started writing my personal blog , only in Italian, sorry (www.notonlybarcelona.me) and created: "The game of the travelling bag".

PHILOSOPHY
Looking to the details and (no) coincidences

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am in couchsurfing since 2010 because I think it was and still be a good way to meet local people, ex change ideas and sometimes, necessary to have a good bed for free when you are travelling alone and so far. I hosted more than be host so it's time to change direction :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In January 2011 I did my first trip solo in Lisboa but was only for few days and near Italy. In July I had decided to do my serious trip alone and I don't know why but I choose: N.Y.C. !!! Uauu...was strong but also so beautiful for me. I think that trip changed my personality and cut my life in the middle. Before and after the Big Apple.
