Overview
About Me
I am a curious and outgoing 24 years old girl. I love travelling and meeting new people from all over the world :)
Currently I am studying at the University of Bonn, specializing in Environmental Policies and Development Economics. I was born in Milan, Italy, but during recent years I had the chance to take part to different studying and working experiences abroad, living in India, South Africa, Germany and Palestine for a while.
My life is hectic and dynamic, I am always willing to meet new people and exchange social and cultural experiences. During my freetime I like to read books, listen to music, watching movies and ride bycicle :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I have strong curiosity toward different cultures and enhanced intercultural respect. I think that couchsurfing is a wonderful platform to connect people and open your mind to a new way to view the world and help others to see the world the way you experience it.
I am firmly convinced that nowadays everyone should encourage communication and intercultural exchanges among people in order to live in peace and have a better understanding of local and global social dynamics. Couchsurfing then represents in this sense an interesting bridge across different cultures, languages and human diversity.
