Why I'm on Couchsurfing

I want to enjoy the experience of traveling as much as possible, and I believe the best way to know a place is to interact with the local people and let them introduce you to their culture. Even if I find traveling alone an interesting experience, I believe it gets richer and more remarkable by the people you meet along the way. At the moment I'm not accepting guests since I'm working as Au Pair, but this is something I really hope to do in the future!

About

Psychology

Teach, Learn, Share

After my experience of living 6 months in Italy, while doing European Voluntary Service, something meaningful changed within myself. When I came back home I realized I was not the same person anymore...and how could I be? Just having the opportunity to meet people from all over the world, to make friends with such different backgrounds, to learn new languages, being able to see so many wonderful places and to absorb different cultures through all your senses. It's a life-changing experience that makes you wonder where you really belong... Or instead, makes you start wondering if you will ever belong to any place at all.
