Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to surf in Italy this september from south to north, discovering it's cities. I've already been often in Italy, but always as a tourist, and now I would like to change my perspective a little bit. Next year I plan on doing an Erasmus semester and before that I would like to experience living in the country. Also I would like to practise my italian a little bit!

Apart from this near project, I think it is a wonderfull opportunity to get to know people, other perspectives than my own, and to share cultures.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love 80' music! I don't know why, but every time I hear a song from that time I fell to sing and dance along! :D
Apart from that I listen to "normal radio Pop songs", and I enjoy going to the opera. I know it sounds kind of old school, but I like the atmosphere there. In Düsseldorf there is a season ticket for students, so I only pay as much as I would going into the cinema.

I'm into literature and I like reading contemporary novels as well as classics. There is this german publishing house, Reclam, and they publish novels in foreign languages with vocabulay help, which is how I discovered for example Stefano Benni (I read "il bar sotto il mare"), or François Lelord ("le voyage d'Hector").

Rather than films, I watch series (probably like most people), as for example "house of cards", "breaking bad", or "the bridge", which is a swedish/danish crime series.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm rather a person that enjoys little things, like ice cream on a sunny day or lying in my bed with my cat beside me, reading a book (me, not the cat).
