Overview
About Me
Hello!
I am Italian, I currently live in Spain, but I have lived here and there in Europe, and travelled around the world.
I can speak Italian of course, very good English, Spanish, a rusty Swedish and some Portuguese. Very little French.
I love singing and I sang in choirs previously. Recently I’ve taken a pottery course and I would love to keep practicing the wheel.
In the past I worked as a freelance translator, a language teacher and a content and localization professional for multinational companies.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Right now I need to travel because of a few projects I’m pursuing, but I can’t afford to pay money for accomodation. On the other hand, I will be willing to exchange accomodation for Italian or English language lessons. I can also provide different kinds of help, as needed.
