Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I took English classes but the most difficult part to learn language is speaking and my trip can be a really good exercise for me. I need practice so I want test my competence and discover my ability to adapt. Meeting people who don’t understand your language should scare and be a big risk but I expect I can do it.

I love travelling, visiting new places and meeting different people. In my opinion a trip is an opportunity to discover, not to relax. After a trip, I come home with blisters in my feet, backache, and I am so tired that I need some days to take a break, I need a vacation from the holiday! My friends, who know about this, are scared to travell with me! They say that it is hell but I believe the worst thing is to waste time.

Interests

I cannot say I like sport but I love trying everything. I had been playing volleyball and tennis, swimming, and I’m an orange belt of karate. Someday I’m going to try parachuting and bungee jumping.

I’m a good cook and I adore food so to me it would be very pleasing to taste foreign corses and to introduce to Italian traditions.

I like photography and I have a tv-show addiction.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook. My parents come from two Italian regions with the most abundant culinary tradition so I learned a lot.
