ITALIAN:

Sono una studentessa dell'ultimo anno di Giurrispridenza in Inghilterra (Reading). Sono mezza Italiana e mezza Inglese. Fin'ora ho vissuto in 3 paesi e diverse città: Italia (Roma/Milano), Inghilterra (Londra/Reading ) e Olanda (Maastricht)! Peró ne ho visitati molti di piú! Ho viaggiato per quasi tutta l'Europa, parte dell'Asia e dell'Africa del Nord. La cosa che amo di piú quando viaggio é perdermi in culture diverse della mia. Per questo motivo sono entusiasta dell'iniziativa Couch Surfing perché penso sia il miglior modo di condividere e recepire quel qualcosa che le città da sole non possono insegnarci.

ENGLISH:

I am a final year law student at Reading University. I am half Italian and half English. Up until now I have lived in 3 different countries and numerous cities: Italy (Rome/Milan), England (London/Reading) and the Netherlands (Maastricht). However I have travelled through plenty more! I have inter-railed and hitchhiked through Europe and part of Asia and Northern Africa.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

What I love most about travelling is getting lost in cultures that are different to mine. For this reason I am an enthusiast of the couch surfing initiative and believe it is the best way to share and absorb that intangible something that cities alone cannot teach.

As T. S. Eliot puts it: We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.
