About Me

ABOUT ME

First of all,I am not good at descriptions , especially I am not good at describing myself !
But I have to,so,here I am:
They say I am an open minded,funny and enjoyable person,who likes enjoying knowing people from different cultures and having as much fun as I can.
Knowing other CouchSurfers and learning from their life experiences makes me richer inside and broaden horizons of knowledge,
that's why I subscrised,even though I didn't have much opportunities to host or be hosted so far :( . By the way I' m interested in knowing surfers around Tuscany too.
Honesty, as the meaning of my name tells ,is my strong point :)
I hope the references about me will support this statement :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My first aim is to meet people,so I could even meet travellers (either hosts or hosted by myself)all around Tuscany.
Currently I have One indipendent room,with a double bed,bathroom,fridge and desk;

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I discovered Couchsurfing while I was living in London.
I attended the CouchSurfing meeting each week,whit the purpose of improving my English skills,thanks to which I made lot of friends and I felt like being part of a family,but unfortunately I couldn't host anyone as I shared the house and I didn't even have space at all.
Now in Italy I had few experiences :)
At the moment I don't have a free room (I am living in an indipendent room ,with a king size bed. It means guests are supposed to sleep in the same room . Anyway I can help find you an accomodation in case or just meet to show around and have a drink , work schedule permitted)

Interests

I like practising many kinds of sports,from football to waterpolo,reading books,mainly about philosophy and the middle-east wars.
I am part of AEGEE , A European organization that promotes and organizes local (I m a Board Member of the Antenna in Pisa)and International Events with members from all over Europe/world.
To survive,after being an Italian teacher and working for refugees, I became a tour Guide now, so I could show you around Tuscany with pleasure ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I will give you a small list:
Israeli security check(impressive) made me simulate my work, so I had to explain them the tower of Pisa like If they were tourists. I can't say it was amazing, it' just funny to think and tell you about that story.
And then of course visiting all the sites in there and in Palestine had been amazing, including the time I got lost in Petra for an hour yelling looking for help because we couldn't seen anything after a heavy rainstorm.

In 2014 I had a 2 weeks trip in Poland. I visited many cities , and I have done something that I had never done :
hitchiking from Warsaw to Olzstyn (around 200 kms)with not really recommendable people and drivestyles (and one really drunk passenger) ; and bunjeejumping!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a tour Guide.
Of course I could show you Pisa as well as other sites of Tuscany(such as Florence)
I can teach Italian, and I would like to learn Russian and to raise my English level :)
but I prefer to leave this gap empty: I am always up to learn and teach life lessons if I can
