About Me

ABOUT ME

I come from a very small village in Trentino, north of Italy, and I've lived in Trieste for three years to study to become a translator/interpreter. As it turns out, languages are one of my passions and therefore I enjoy travelling and discovering new places around the world! Moreover I like reading novels and watching tv series.
I am really quiet and polite and I enjoy going out with old and new friends as well as stay home talking or watching a movie with some company or reading a book by myself.
Even though I may seem a little introvert at the beginning, I always enjoy having a night out to have a drink and meet new people! I loosen myself after a while and chat very gladly.
I consider myself easygoing and I can adapt myself to different kind of situations; I believe I should never turn down an occasion whenever it knoks on my door!

PHILOSOPHY

"We all change. When you think about it, we’re all different people all through our lives. And that’s okay. That’s good. You gotta keep moving, so long as you remember all the people that you used to be."
The Doctor

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I moved to Rotterdam in January 2015 and I'm here to stay!
Lately I've been upgrading my home in order to be able to host new travellers, so hit me up and I'll do my best to welcome you. I'd probably be more able to host people during the weekend (when I'm not working), but feel free to contact me anytime we'll see what we can plan!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had a wonderful time surfing in the Netherlands and in London: all I can say is that couchsurfing is the first step to get to know a country, its people and their cultures!

Interests

I am very interested in foreign languages and of course travelling. Books and tv series are an important part of my life: I always have a book on my bedsidetable waiting to be read and I often watch an episode before going to sleep.
I'm quite good at baking cakes :)
