Unquenchable wanderlust and itchy feet. We are budding travellers but we feel that travels are that what makes us happy!

[Joanna]
I`m really into Spanish, Portuguese and Italian language and culture.
I'm an active and open-minded person who likes riding bike and hiking in the mountains. I love narrow streets, villages and explore new places where aren`t many tourists. I think that is thanks to scouting that I'm pretty independent and responsible person.
When I talk I really like gesturing so you must be aware :p

[Riccardo]
I'd like to define myself as an expat ex-skateboarder, but actually, in real life, I'm simply an engineer that is working abroad to get new experience and broaden his horizons. I spend most of my time riding the bike, eating and cooking (Italian way!), listening to music... all these things together with Joanna!
When I talk I really like gesturing... even more than Joanna... Guess why!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS is a great alternative for a common, massive and commercial tourism-oriented only on visiting monuments without feeling the real spirit of the places.

It's so an amazing way to be closer to the culture and the people. We love the moments when we sit with our host and we chat and exchange food, photos or information about our countries and travels! We like to discover the city and countryside with locals. We think that getting to know the people and their different points of view is the best part of travel.
