I'm Elia, I'm 22 and I'm a geography student.
I'm from Veneto (Italy) and my hometown is a small village 25 km south from Padua, 55 from Venice.
I love exploring the world and I think that the true essence of a nation can be experienced travelling through the countryside, so by that I'm often in unusual places.
Now I live in Turin for the master degree.
UNESCO heritage sites visited: 139

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet up new people from all over the world, having new experiences and live new cultures.

Interests

I think I'm a positive person who loves doing a lot of things. Travelling is my main passion, and it takes most of my money and my time. Apart from that, I love taking photos (with my camera and my drone), I like to cook when I have a real kitchen available (I live in a student dormitory so kitchens are usually overcrowded) and in general I love culture and events. I'm also into politics and into European values and exchanges.
