About Me

I grew up in Italy to a bilingual (English-Italian) family and moved to the United States by myself when I was 16 to pursue my dream of wonder lusting around the world.

I studied Film in college and I enjoy documenting people’s stories through my lens. I love getting lost in deep conversations about life and philosophy and I'm happy to share my experiences with you in exchange of learning about yours.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Here to meet new people and see the world!

I backpacked Central America last summer creating promotional content for hotels and hostels along the way.

The places I visited were amazing but my favorite part by far were the people I met, travelers from all over the world who had incredible stories and taught me so much.

I look forward to learning about your culture and your story :)
