Hy! I am Giada, nice to meet you all!
I am a student of the University of Bologna, i study Chinese and English in the Course languages, markets and cultures. In this course i have won a scholarship to study for One academic year in Taiwan, in Taipei. This experience really changed my life, though i was already used to travel.

I love to travel, and to know different cultures, traditions, food, people, music, movies, exc...
i like more traditional villages or little (traditional) country than big cities (like Milan or Rome), but i am also an active person and i love to hang out with my friends to Watch movies, play darts&billiards&boowling or Just eat and drink something together and take a walk outside.
When i travel i really like to see beautiful landscapes and nature, and historycal things as well.
I don't dislike doing shopping, but i spend just a 5% or less of my time doing it on my holidays, though i really like to dress well and to choose carefully my clothes...
instead i like beaches! But also there, maybe half of the day or of the holiday it's ok to spend to stay there, but i like more or equally to explore!!!

However, i am calm, kind, rispectful, honest & fair, sincere, talkative, i love to joke, very sociable, i don't like dangerous things, sometimes creative, always curious, etc. I am pacifist and atheist (Buddhist), and i am a free-thinker.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet different people from the whole world, to share a little part of my life and to get to know different cultures and traditions...while i'm travelling!

Interests

Go out with my friends, meet always new people, try different kind of food, watching movies (no thriller and no horror), listening the music, cook, read, sometimes writing poetries, but most of all TRAVEL! Play darts, billiards, boowling, go to beach, go to have a walk, etc.
