Hi I'm Ilaria, from Italy.
I love to spend time outdoor practicing sports or just enjoying the nature.

I recently quit my job as a graphic designer and started cycling in South East Asia.
I’m currently cycling in Tajikistan :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing allows travellers and locals to connect. Whether when looking for a place or just for a nice chat, it is a lovely way to meet and have good time together.

Interests

My interests go from adventure and nature to culture, visual arts, music and so.
I’m enthusiastic about environmental and social topics and love to have good conversations with new people, learning new points of view and way of seeing things.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love almost any kind of music, it depends on the mood of the moment, but if ppl have to pick come favourites it’s going to be Pearl Jam, Led Zeppelin, Alt J and Red Hot Chili Peppers.

My favourite movie is “The secret life of Walter Mitty”, great movie with a a great soundtrack.

My favourite book is “Death with interruptions” by Saramago, but I would also totally suggest “Shantaram” by Gregory David Roberts if you want to dream India, “Wild” by Cheryl Strayed if you want to feel inspired about this amazing woman who hiked the PCT alone, or “The hundred-year-old man who climbed out of the window and disappeared” by Jonas Jonasson if you want to laugh.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked through the Alps from West to East for 600 kilometres in five weeks.
