Hi everybody!

My name is Gabriele, I grew up in a little village in Northern Italy, then moved to Padova and afterwards to Trento to study. I also spent five months in Istanbul, and I fell in love with Turkey, its atmosphere and lovely people!

I studied international and european law, and I did voluntary work with refugees and asylum seekers.
I love travelling and getting into know people from different cultures and languages! I think that Couchsurfing gives us the opportunity to act like a traveller and not just as a tourist, and to feel experiences in a deeper way.

I am easy-going, cheerful and open-minded! I can't stand with prejudice and rudeness.
