hello hello. i am @giorgia, an italian lady currently based in berlin, germany. i work as innovation designer for a fintech startup and i am super excited to tell you all about it in case you are interested.

i had some really awesome experiences traveling around the world, and now that i am a full-time employee, i truly miss randomly getting to know people and exchanging meaningful conversations about our experiences in life. so here i am on couchsurfing!

i am indeed on a very tight schedule, but when i have some free time - you are welcome at my place :)

also, i am super bad at describing myself so just be open and ask me what you would like to know.

key summary of @giorgia in a few words: pizza, tech, surfing & laughing.

what about you - what your story?

音乐、电影和书籍

uhhhh alrighty. i love this section already.

here we go:

- music → jazz vibes (paul chambers, ella fitzgerald, louis armstrong). surfy/aussie tunes (ocean alley, hockey dad, sticky fingers). mellow/reggae (love this as background music). you can check out my spotify playlist at @giorgiamadella. my fave: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/74627uFl4G8mfKJrpII0EW?si=iYhxJ4CKQj20tOZK897m1A. btw, i love classical music :)

- movies: in love with sci-fi & documentaries. tech/dystopian plots: love them. some of my fave movies: kill your darlings, before the flood, the wolf of wall street, the place beyond the pines.
- TV series: black mirror, american horror story, humans.

- books: any written by jules verne really. big fan of french literature, and definitely in love with shakespeare. loved reading shataram. currently reading a biography on elon musk (i love that guy).

教，学，和分享

i can teach you some basic italian, and we can attempt to cook some italian food (though i am a super bad cook). if we mess it up, we'll call grandma maurizia - she know everything about kitchen stuff haha :)

i can also teach you some basic mandarin, and we can try to translate your name in chinese. and we can definitely take a photoshoot of you (jaaas i love my camera). i usually go for portrait pics, have a look here: https://www.behance.net/madellagiorgia.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

anything you need, just ask and we can figure something out :) i will be able to provide with up to 2 actual mattresses, so ideally it is better if you are carrying a sleeping bag with you. i have one spare blaket, and lots of pillows so that's no issue. you can use all sort of toiletries at mine (shampoo, conditioner, etc.) so no need for you to bring them. i also have a spare towel just in case you need it! i generally eat at work so my fridge is almost always very empty lol. i do have lots of coffee and tea, you are welcome to have some too!

btw, i live in a shared apartment so that means i share kitchen & toilet with a lovely german chick, who is studying physics. so i hope you are okay with that :)
