Hi this is Benny. I am 26 and I am from Italy. I studied languages in Bologna, mainly Chinese and after it I lived In China and then in The Netherlands where I was studying Chinese Studies in Leiden.

I didn't finish my Master because I wasn't able to go back and have been working as a teacher since then in Italy and China. Now I am back trying with my few resources to finish my Master. I am having difficulties finding a place in Leiden so I stayed in Brussels, Amsterdam, Noordwijk and even back and forth from Italy. Hoping to find a place for the month of April to finish to attend my classes. After? I have no idea. I might stay if I find a job or the go back to Italy and see form there.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have never heard of CS before, only found it while I was trying to find a stay around and I think is great and I am looking forward to be able to host myself as I know how hard can be sometimes to travel and also cultural and international exchange is one of the best things happened to me since I discovered it back in high school when my family hosted a French and then a Spanish guy,

I hope to be a great guest and in the future host.
