About Me

Volunteering for children rights in Italian jails, lived in a Chinese boarding school in Siberia, travelled some and workawayed others.

Passion for people, food and human rights (and Netflix but it doesn't sound as cool).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling without meeting people is just like using Google Street View sitting on your couch. I'm the kind of person who starts talking to strangers on train journeys, so it makes sense I'd Couchsurf instead of staying at hostels.
If you're hosting me, I understand you might be busy, so I don't expect you to spend the whole time with me - just know I'm not there for your couch :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: mostly indie rock and pop, but I don't mind most of the other genres. In a love-hate relationship with K-pop because of Chinese clubs.
