About Me

I am a student completing a bi-national Master of Science in International Nature Conservation at the Georg-August Universität Göttingen in Germany and Lincoln University in New Zealand. I completed my B.Sc. in Wildlife Management at the University of Bologna in Italy. My strongest ambition is to deeply understand the impact of wildlife trade and hunting on the population of animals.
I love studying and traveling abroad, but I especially love to meet new people and get to know new cultures and traditions. The most important thing for me is sharing ideas and knowledge. I enjoy being in nature, tramping and camping, but I also appreciate city sightseeing.
I am a tidy person, I love when everything is clean and in order. I am vegetarian, but I have no problem if someone cooks meat or fish in the apartment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My experiences were much more worthful if I spent some times with locals. Local people can explain you the real situation in town and in the country. They see what you cannot understand because you are living there only for few weeks.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have few favorite type of music. I love listening rock when I need some adrenaline but I like classical music when I need concentration or relax. I like jazz and new wave. I really appreciate also pop music. Music apart, I like dancing any kind of music, my favorites are disco, electro, techno, and boogie-woogie.
I love watching movies, tv series, and reading books especially if they are fantasy or true story.
My favorite book is The Zigzag Kid by David Grossman and my favorite movies are Priscilla the Queen of the Desert and Star Wars 1 & 4.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was in New Zeland. My friends and I decided to do a multi-day hike on a mountain. It was my first multi-day hike and I was pumped to start it. The second day we arrived at the top of the mountain and we found an awesome view. You saw thousands of peaks one next to the others. We walked in the direction of the Angelus hut, it was an amazing hut with a beautiful natural lake surrounding it. The next day we walked to the edge of the mountain all day. It was my first time at the peak of a mountain. It was an incredible mix of emotions, fear but also power and beauty.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a good cook and I know how to make several Italian dishes. I can teach how to make pasta, pizza, focaccia and other delicious food.
I would like to expand my knowledge of different living style throughout the world. I am learning French, so if there is the possibility, I am willing to improve it.
I love sharing ideas and knowledge of how to reduce the carbon footprint of each human and how to reduce our ecological impact on the planet. I am working with wild animals, I am interested in animal trafficking and I would like to know what people think of that.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share ideas, knowledge and everything else. I love talking about global issues and how we can reduce the problems.
