Over five years ago, I was living in my hometown and dreaming of travelling the world, going to places like New Zealand, Cuba, Morocco, Iceland, learning how to surf and snowboard, making friends with people who don't speak my language and perhaps learning a new language myself.
And here I am, I have finally made it to New Zealand.

During the last five years I have

• lived in Italy and Malta.
• learned Italian.
• met people who I now consider my dearest friends.
• learned how to snowboard and surf (well, I am still far from perfection I must say).
• travelled to Iceland, Cuba, New York, Morocco and many awesome places in Europe.
• left my job in Malta to go on a one-year working holiday in New Zealand.

To sum up I am very happy with how things have worked out for me.
Happy and keep on dreaming of new destinations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I mainly use Couchsurfing to meet local people while travelling. I have also been hosted a couple of times in the past.
And I hope to become a host myself one day.
