Hellou everyone... :)

I'm Gisi, a 28 years old life lover currently on my world trip by land, hitchhiking and slow traveling since August 2021 !
👣 🌎 🎒

On couchsurfing to seek the most authentic ways to experience cultures and countries. It’s all about the people you meet and i’m always looking forward to making new friends along the way! 🤍

🇨🇭🇮🇹 I come from the Italian sunny side of Switzerland and I can fluently speak 5 languages:
🗣 Italian, German, French, Spanish and English! I know a bit of Chinese, but there is still way a lot to improve... and I am slowly starting to learn Russian :)

I have a Bachelor degree in Communication and a Master degree in International Tourism. ✍🏼👩🏽‍🎓
Had the majority of my work experiences in the fields of marketing and event management.

I'm passionate about traveling, languages, writing and every form of human connection and communication, long hikes, new food and good wine! Always up for longs talks, yoga sessions, and everything related to nature :)
