Overview
About Me
Born in Genoa in Italy and grew up in Provence in France, I really love some good food!!
Quite enjoy outdoor activities/sports ( (wind)surf, snowboard, tennis, climbing, skydiving...). Love a good kick of adrenaline.
Also huge fan of electronic music and festivals.
Got to travel to different places and always find it amazing to discover new places and cultures (obviously including food) and talking with local people. They're such rich exchanges, I love it.
I have been living in Amsterdam for the past 5 years, and it's a great city I would definitely recommend going to one day.
I have mostly worked as a customer success manager, and recently as a cook in an Italian restaurant.
While I absolutely love the city and people here, what I want most now is to travel around Asia for a year, getting to experience special celebrations in different countries with new friends. My itinerary follows national celebrations (cultural, religious, food, etc.).
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I really enjoy meeting new people and discovery different cultures, which is why I find couchsurfing to nail this.
I've experienced couchsurfing several time while before. I was never disapointed and every single time it was an excredible experience. I'm looking forward to renew those kind of encounters!
Interests
I really enjoy food (both eating and cooking), music (listening, festivals, and mixing a bit), outdoor sports (bonus if it gives a good rush of adrenaline) like surf, snowboard, slackline etc
