"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeing new landscapes, but in having new eyes."

Hello guys ;)
I'm Giulia and I'm from a small village in Italy.
I'm an open-minded person, I'm friendly, sunny and I have a big heart. I would love to be more active and productive.
I LOVE travelling and meeting new interesting people with different cultures and who speak different languages.
I lived in UK (Scotland and England), for a sum of 15 months as au pair after I finished High School in 2015.
When I came back to Italy I booked a one-way ticket to Spain and I spent there almost 2 months travelling solo and meeting lovely people from all over the world. It was one of the best things I did!
Now, I am studying at the university of Foreign languages and literatures of Trieste and since September 2019 I have been living in Germany (Regensburg) thanks to the Erasmus programme. During my time here I hope to learn German as better as I can and meet lots of wonderful people.

MY GOAL: "Live well!"

PHILOSOPHY: "Carpe diem!"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to explore the world, meet amazing people, get to know different cultures. Maybe I just want to find my real self!

My fav movie is "Fried Green Tomatoes" by Jon Avnet, 1991.
I like romantic, comedy, fantasy and, if they are not too scary, horror movies! :)

Books: I like reading but the book has to interest me for real or I won't be able to finish it: but I will try!
If you have any interesting books I can read just tell me :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rode a camel in the middle of the desert in Dubai after a safari and then some people offered us dinner so I actually tried the camel. I didn't like it though! It's better to ride.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to cook the real carbonara, I always cook it to my friends from different countries and they always love it. I can also make the vegeterian version with crougettes!
I can also bake. I LOVE baking.

I would love to learn as many languages as I can: I studied English, Spanish and French at school and in Scotland I've learned some Bengali from my host family from Bangladesh.
I tried to study Russian online but I abandoned it. Now at uni, as I said above, I study languages so I started studying German from the very beginning (what a brave person I am!)

I would love learning how to play the guitar.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my passion for travel, music and cooking. I'd also love to talk about interests, travels and future.
