My name is Elia, I was born in 2002 and I graduated from a technical institute specializing in automation. I love to travel and meet new people, cultures and places. I spent 5 months in South America (Argentina and Uruguay) where I volunteered in exchange for room and board. There I worked as a receptionist in a hostel, as a farmer on a farm and as a carpenter in Patagonia. Then I spent 3 months in Barcelona doing an internship working with robots and 3D printers. After that I did ≈2 months of Interrail with a friend. In more then 50 days I spent only 54€, but in Barcelona my backpack and documents were stolen so I went home.
I did a lot of things but I am young and I still have a loooot to discover and learn. New languages ​​and new stories to tell, as well as new friends to make.
Next goal: idk :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I signed up for Couchsurfing to be able to visit as many countries as possible without spending too much on my travels. I also love meeting new people and interacting with the inhabitants of the countries I visit, I don't like being a passive tourist, I love feeling part of the place and community where I am.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a lot of music and I really love to read. For now I listen and read mainly in Italian and Spanish but my goal is to improve even more English and also learn new languages ​​to feel even more citizen of the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was only 19, I packed my suitcase and traveled alone from Italy to Argentina. I arrived in Argentina without knowing Spanish, but within a month I learned this fantastic language.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Italian and the typical card games of my region, and I am also ready to exchange experiences and stories. Ready to learn from new cultures and to learn new languages.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer my story, the stories of my adventures and I can listen to my hosts. I am very open to learning in total respect. I'm not very good at cooking but a Tiramisu (typical of my province in Italy) can always be done. I also love to play cards and can teach many games typical of my area.
