CURRENT MISSION

Be happy, write the first novel, run my first marathon.

ABOUT ME

Got a BSc in Psychology and a BA in Social and Cultural Education. Then I got an MA in Sexual Dissidence. I work in the social field as a Support Worker/Educator with street kids, homeless, drug addicts and disadvantages people. I love Indie Music and Books. I do write, 5 of my books are currently published in Italy (some poetry and short stories collection). I travel when I can, love experiencing new cultures. Africa was the trip that changed me most. I also don't eat meat.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met several couchsurfers in my hometown while my friend was hosting them. I found it an amazing way to meet and help people.
