Overview
About Me
Half Italian, half Greek. I love languages and Scandinavia. I come from a small village in the Italian Alps, but I spent all my summers in Greece.
I have workawayed and aupaired for some here in Sweden and now settled down in Barcelona.
I work for a travel agency with languages, and mostly with German, as it is my favourite one (even Germans don’t understand this).
I love painting, cooking and playing the piano.
I would be glad to cook a lasagna for you :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I come from a multi-culti family myself and I love sharing and exploring new cultures.
I would be happy to show you Turin or Athens, since I know both cities very well.

Teach, Learn, Share
Couchsurfing is the perfect chance to get to know people and share experiences.
As an ancient Roman philosopher once said: " While we teach, we learn" :)
