Hi there :) I'm Claudia, and - like most of the people here on CS - I love traveling, and my need for delving into new cultures is as important as breathing to me.

I've lived in different countries (Italy, Belgium, France, Scotland, Romania), and travelled as much as I could, mostly within Europe though.

I love any form of creativity, arts above all, and technology; that is also why I work in advertising being part of a creative department.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on CS because I feel like breathing some international atmosphere when I'm in Rome - where I just moved to -, so I'm gonna mostly use it to participate in events.

Conversely when I'm on a trip abroad, I use it as the fastest way to get in touch with locals, and other wandering travelers as me.

I've never used it to host or be hosted, this is also why I have no reviews.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm passionate about cinema, the older the better :) Deeply in love with B&W movies, German Expressionism (like The cabinet of dott Caligaris, Golem etc), I love Vincent Price, and Hitchcock.

My favourite contemporary directors are Peter Greenaway, Wes Anderson, plus all those I get a temporarily crash on (directing speaking).

About music, I love different genres, like soul, funk, from classical to hip hop.
I'm just over a Billy Holliday and Buena Vista Social Club period, and just slipped into an Eva Lazarus and Loyle Carner one.
Music is an absolute necessity.
