Ciao! I'm Chiara, originally from Padua but I currently live in Genoa with my boyfriend Luca.
I am a researcher, he is a naval engineer, so as you expected we are nerds and love puzzles!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are organising an interrail trip around Greece, Bulgaria and Turkey and we'd love to meet locals and really get to know the culture of the places we'll be visiting.
We both are very curious people and love to discover new stuff, hearing stories and legends about places, getting to know other cultures.
Also, we're not fans of how rents got crazy after Airbnb, so we think this could be a more interesting and sustainable way to travel 🌱
For people looking for a place to stay in Genoa: please feel free to contact us, we love to have guests and would like to show you around the city, just check with us if the position is okay with you because we live quite far from the city centre and don't have a car, we only use public transports.

Music, Movies, and Books

We are great readers, I am really into feminist essays but I always look for good fiction. I would love to get to know good authors from your country so I look forward to your suggestions 📚
Luca really loves music, especially punk 🎸

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently tried surfing and even though I'm very bad at it I really love feeling the wave carrying me 🏄

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to crochet and we can make something together, just let me know so that I can bring the yarn.
Luca is very good at playing the guitar (especially bass guitar) even if he's a bit shy about it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We both are friendly people and would love to hang out, but we also know how to respect boundaries and give space to other people's needs.
On a more practical way, we would love to cook some good Italian food for you!
