I'm Irene, a 24-year-old Italian girl. I am currently in Heidelberg for a six-month exchange programme. I'm getting my Ma in Translation Studies, I like to travel and get to know other people, languages, cultures and points of view. I'm a book worm, cinema enthuiast, and like to listen to live music over a drink. I'm also trying to find my way to a less wasteful life :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and try to get around as much as I can. Unfortunately, my little student jobs put some restrictions to my wanderer ambitions and that's why I decided to try Couchsurfing. Why should I give up on something instead of finding an alternative way (probably even more interesting) to do it. No question mark.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like rock music, but I also enjoy traditional music, raggae, hip pop. Everything, as long as it's not raggaeton. Please don't ask me what my favourite song is, I don't know.
Favourite book: The unbearable lightness of being, Milan Kundera. Also, For whom the bell tolls.
I think my favourite movie could be Casablanca. Ups, cliché.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to learn as much as I can on the culture of the country/region/city I'm in. From music and language to (last but absolutely not the least) FOOD.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Me, myself and my sparkling conversation over a beer or a glass of wine. Also my silence, if you don't feel like trying the first one out.
