Ciao a tutti!! :) I'm Chiara, I'm from a small region in the center of Italy called Umbria. I lived my childhood in my countryside among chickens, dogs and a vegetable garden. Where my parents taught me the love for the nature and the outdoors and the values of community, solidarity and active social participation. I grew up as a scout girl, always full of activities to do, children, adventures and tents on the nature.

I studied naturalist biology and I have increasingly approached environmental education, today my profession. I lived almost 4 years in Portugal, teching environmental educacion and be part of some projects about community gardens, food sovereignty and responsible food consumption. I moved the to Bolivia, in the Amazon side, where where I lived almost 1 years doing a volunteering proyect related to agroecology. There I was able to get to know very strong and complex realities, but also great adventures (piranha bites, crocodile based dinners and having capybaras as neighbors).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like being with people, having lunches, walks or thoughts together. I like daily sharing and creating new stories to tell. I am looking for concrete experiences of real life, tales of old people, travels barefoot, hands dirty with soil, hugs,and backpacks full of courage (:
