I was born and grew up in Albania, living in Italy since 2008 with two 6-month Polish and French parentheses.
I love reading, languages, nature. I like hiking, robots, merry-go-rounds.
Talk to me about technology, history, philosophy; I'll always listen.
I enjoy cooking, smiling, making people comfortable and hearing what they have to say.
I'm straightforward, empathetic, open to dialogue.
I love it when I meet people who are unapologetically themselves.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a way to get in touch with local people while traveling. The countries we travel and the cultures we meet, the languages we encounter and attempt to learn, the knowledge, the history behind them; they were all made by people and I love to hear the how-s and the why-s whenever I get the chance. The insights you get from a local will never be written on a guide you buy; and that's what I look for while I travel and hope to give back to surfers.
P.s.: Unfortunately I cannot host surfers at the moment.
