I go by Francesca or Frankie, whichever you prefer or remember ;)
Here is a short biography: I was raised in Livorno, Italy until the age of 13. Then, I moved to Florida, USA for 7 years. I taught English in South Korea for a year. I have recently moved to Rome and would like to make new friends here!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting people from different cultures often challenges a lot of preconceptions and prejudices that people are unaware they hold. Through CS I can learn about other people and improve myself through this knowledge. Hopefully, I can share some insights and kindness with others.
Also because it's fun!

Interests

I am generally a slow-paced and calm person. I love reading, especially in parks, cafes and beaches. I like visiting museums, churches, temples, libraries and other quiet places. I enjoy walking around aimlessly. I live for long conversations over food and drinks. I can eat, drink and talk for hours if I'm with the right person. On the other hand, if I'm in the mood, I can gladly go drinking, partying and clubbing until the sun rises ;)
I also have a random obsession with playing foosball (table soccer), so if you do as well we will get along very well! ^^

Music, Movies, and Books

I really, really like reading so picking a favorite book is impossible! I read fiction, nonfiction and graphic novels. I read paperbacks, ebooks or audiobooks. As far as nonfiction goes, I like history, philosophy, feminist theory, and memoirs.
