Why I’m on Couchsurfing

when i travel, my biggest interest is not visiting the most famous museums or seeing the historical monuments, but to experience the life of a local during my stay. so i believe the best way to meet a city and learn about the county's culture is by getting to know the locals. i also think that the whole concept and idea of couchsurfing, sharing experiences, stories, cultures and house is just amazing.

also, i recently came back from my erasmus semester in tallinn, where i had the happiest months of my life, met some of my favourite people in the world and lived the best experiences so far! i also travelled a lot and grew in so many aspects, that completely changed my way of seeing life and, of course, the way i want to live it!

my dad is a jazz critic and jazz history teacher and he organizes music festivals, so i grew up with music playing 24/7 at my house and i'm aaalways listening to it. my mum is a therapist obsessed with cinema, so since i was a kid she had been showing me the best and the worts movies, passing her passion to me. so here's a list of some of my favourite bands and movies:

Teach, Learn, Share
