Well..I grew up in Siena, Italy and, when I was 16 I was an exchange student in a small town in Texas for one year. Then, I moved to Philadelphia and I earned a biology degree from Temple University. I worked in a research lab in Philly. I'm currently living in Cali, Colombia to teach english and I will be here for five months.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When my friend Claudia came to visit me in Philadelphia, she mention to me about it and I thought it was the coolest thing ever!

Interests

I love going out, meet new people, get to know different cultures and languages, trying different beers and play ping pong. (I've no idea how all these stuff is related) I played volleyball for many years and currently taking tennis classes. I love going to the movie theater and travel.

I love foreign, independent movies, my favorites are Amelie, Seven, into the Wild, the girls with the dragon Tatooo, Delicacy, Black Swan, I recently watched Whiplash and Wild.
As far as TV shows, yes, I got addicted to Dexter, Breaking bad and True Detective. Ohh..I also really liked the first two seasons of New Girl.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not sure I can really really teach anything beside my native language. Ohh..I used to like scrapbooking when I was in high school, ahaha, a very useful skill! I really want to learn spanish and salsa.
