Hi there! My name is Carlo and I am a student who loves immersing in different cultures and try to live like a local in different countries. I grew up n Italy and moved as an exchange high school student in the US and then as an international student in Leeds, UK. Now I am completing my Erasmus in Mannheim, Germany, where I am also learning German, which was my elective module in the past two years alongside my major in Economics. I love travelling and especially discovering the areas surrounding me when I move to a new place. In particular, I really enjoy discovering the culture and history of the places I am visiting and share mine with the hosts. I am also a cuisine lover and an excellent cook of Italian dishes, loving to share them with my friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As many people, I am on Couchsurfing to be able to travel and explore different countries, city and cultures. I also love to meet new people and, eventually, friends, wherever I go, sharing my culture with my hosts, while learning more about theirs.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could help out learning English and Italian and would love to improve my German!

Ice skating? Economics? Cinema? Theatre? they are all my passions and would love to share them (and teach them) to my hosts!

I love cooking and sharing the food I make with others - I believe there is no point in life in eating alone and cooking just for yourself.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Italian Food - I absolutely love cooking Italian food; passion inherited by my family.
