"What you think you create, what you feel you attract, what you imagine you become". That's my philosophy of life.

Hello everyone!

My name's Clarissa. I live in Bologna where I'm studying Languages. As you imagine, I really like travelling and meeting new people. I'm friendly, curious and creative. I'm a very calm person and I rarely get angry :)
My big dream is to be a children's book illustrator. I've realized that not long ago during my gap year while I was working as au-pair in France. I've always liked drawing and painting and I've successfully tried to teach kids Italian creating little illustrated stories.

My favourite pastime is drinking beer with friends, listening to music, painting and doing yoga. I really like dancing and going to parties as well!

I love pets and I have a cat called Noche. I'm always looking for a job as petsitter though I live far from my home, so I miss animals to play with and to cuddle.

I frequently change my hair color.
I love to daydream.
I enjoy talking to people I don’t know
I seek adventure.
I believe that there is no absolute right and wrong.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've signed up to Couchsurfing because I think it could be a nice experience and I would like to make some friends around the world.
