About Me

I'm a 20 years old student.
I've been an au pair in Spain and Ireland since I love both travel and learn about other cultures.

As during this period I've class at the university and can't travel, I'm looking forward to meet/host people for an exciting experience of cultural exchange, one of the things I love the most in the world!

I live with my parents, my brother and my lovely dog in an amazing area plenty of hills (UNESCO) where they make wine. My dad has a winery himself!
There are a lot of things to see and to do.

We're just 1hour far from the seaside or the mountains, 40minutes far from Turin and 2hours far from Milan.

I'm LGBTQ supportive.

I eat GLUTENFREE.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I like cheap ways of travelling ;) and because I think is the best way to get in touch with the real atmosphere and culture of the city you're visiting.

Interests

I love cooking and trying new recipes and mix it. I love good food; I think it's one of the best parts of life.

My passions are travelling,learning new languages, reading great books and my dog, Tac.

I love to spend my time watching movies or going for long walks with my dog, chatting with my friends, going shopping and visiting new places and museums.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't really have a favourite music. I'm an ex-dancer so I like everything that makes you feel "something".

I've no favourite movies. I love them all ;)

And no favourite books (I love them more then movies) but a favourite author: Virginia Woolf

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Adopt a dog! It's amazing the way they can love you. Having a dog it's actually one of the best things in my life. When I'm with him it's impossible to be upset. He just makes me happier. I'm so lucky.

Living 2 months in Spain.
I definitely LOVE Spain. It's one of my favourite countries in Europe. People are amazing, food is amazing, way of life is amazing...
When I'm in Spain I really feel home.

Living 2 months in Ireland.
People often say Ireland is in the wrong position in Europe. For the way Irish people are, they should be nearer to Spain and Italy.
When I arrived in Ireland I didn't know anything about the culture, or its people or its traditions. It has been an incredible experience discovering it all while I was living it. I've loved being there.
Definitely a country to see!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A double bed in our living room.
We love having people around the house :)
If you come in summer, we also have a small swimming pool that you can enjoy with all of us.

We are the traditional Italian family who loves cooking and enjoying food and wine all together.

Come to visit us and you will get in touch with the real Italian culture! ;)
