Overview
About Me
I am open-minded, curious and I love languages. I have a Bachelor's degree in translation and interpretation studies and I hope to be a translator or a teacher one day. I am currently doing my Master's degree in International Cooperation and Comunication. I was lucky enough to be brought up by two travel lovers, who made me visit many countries around the world. I've been travelling since I was born!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I am currently doing my Erasmus in Szombathely, but I'm struggling to find people to meet and things to do, so I turned to couchsurfing to socialize.

Music, Movies, and Books
I am a book and film enthusiast. I mainly read novels. I like Israeli writers such as Grossman, Yehoshua and Amoz Oz, because I think they are great storytellers who investigate the human soul through their characters. When I read one of their books, they make me feel part of the story and I really empathise with their characters.
I mainly watch drama movies which portray real life stories and leave me shocked/ speachless (but in a good way). The last good movies I watched are a Russian movie called "Dylda" (or in English "Beanpole"), "the Florida Project", "Roma" by Cuaron and "Parasite". My favourite movies are "La vita è bella", "Nuovo Cinema Paradiso", and "Into the wild", but I also like Tarantino, Truffaut and Louis Malle.
I listen to Coldplay, the Clash, Bob Marley, Manu Chao, and also to indie/folk music such as Fanfarlo, the Staves, the Tallest Man on Earth and so on. I really like to go to classical music concerts, and my favourite composers are Mozart, Beethoven, Vivaldi and Bach.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I have done many adventurous things with the boy scouts. I once slept outside in the woods (without a tent).
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach how to swim and I am a sport lover in general. Cooking is not my greatest passion, but, being from Italy, I can teach how to make pizza and tiramisu!
What I Can Share with Hosts
We can practice languages together and learn new words and phrases in our mother tongues. I am also a good listener, should they have nice stories to tell!
