Hi! I am an Italian girl who loves to learn new languages and discover cultures. I have done an exchange in Argentina at the age of 16 for a year and I totally fell in love with the Latin American culture!
Now I am working as an au pair in London to improve my English and study here. I am also studying Brazilian Portuguese and I am looking forward to meeting native speakers to practise with!
I practise martial arts (taekwondo) which is one of my greatest passions. I enjoy simple things, like having a nice chat with a friend while walking around the city, or grabbing a coffee and talk about our opinions and experiences.
Because of my several intercultural experiences, I have developed a great interest in politics and I am mostly concerned about any type of social issues, immigration in particular. I don't really see myself as part of any 'political side', I just have a genuine interest in encouraging international and multicultural dialogue.
I love reading and keep my self informed about everything, from politics to science. I would say learning is my main passion and I try to discover and retain as much as I can from any kind of experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people. I like to hear the stories of other travellers and share mine as well. I am also looking for a language exchange to practise my Portuguese!

Music, Movies, and Books

I can not choose a favourite book or movie since I do really enjoy most of them. I am in love with Marvel's kind of movies, Fantasy, thriller and others but definitely not the horror ones. Same thing with books, but I love to read about politics, economy and science as well.
When it comes to music I have a very strange taste. I feel half Argentinian in my heart so I really love everything related to this culture. I love reggaeton, cumbia and Brasilian funk, but I am also a great fan of Argentinian rock (in particular 'Callejeros'). I also listen to international old rock such as Aerosmith, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Guns n' Roses.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
