Hello! I love travelling, connecting with people around the world and making new friends! I am a relaxed, easy going, caring, considerate, curious and adventurous person. I love exploring big cities, especially their sub cultures and music and art scenes. I love dancing and exploring nightlife. I also love being in nature, by the sea, going on walks, swimming and disconnecting from the hectic city life. I am Italian but I grew up in London and in Paris. I studied anthropology and sociology and I’m currently working in a charity supporting asylum seekers in London.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've taken a 9 month sabbatical from my job and I will be travelling around south America for 5 months. I want to meet local people on my travels and support the couch surfing community on my way!
