Hi there!

If you have ever eaten Tiramisù you should know that I am from the birthplace of this well-known dessert and you could experience the real one at my lovely place.

My name is Alessia. I am Italian and at the moment I am based in my hometown, Treviso, a medieval city near Venice. I can say that I am also little American, Russian and Indian inside.

I have an extensive travel experience and, as citizen of the world, I love being surrounded by people from different countries in order to share my local traditions and do a knowledge and cultural exchange.

I am passionate about any kind of artistic expression but nowadays what I am living for is dance. My passion took me to Los Angeles to study urban dances and working hard to build an artistic career. California became my second home where I have my American family and lots of projects.

I have a Bachelor's degree in languages. I studied Russian and English in Venice, London, Saint Petersburg and Tula. I miss Russia so I really would love to meet up with people who can speak russian.

I love being surrounded by artists and receiving inspirations from them. I love active people, positive energy. Recently I went to India and I became a certified teacher of Ashtanga and Hatha Yoga. This was an amazing experience where I learned a lot and I would love to keep up my practice by teaching in my city in English to foreigners.

By the end of this year I would love to do a backpack tour with someone who is yoga, travel, surf enthusiast.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like listening any kind of music depending on my mood and circumstance. When I choreograph a song I like hip hop and rnb style. If I work on my artworks I like listening jazz music but If I go out with friends I like dancing tecno/house/deep music.
