Hi everybody!
I'm a 26-year-old Italian girl, I love travelling and meeting new people and cultures. In January 2016 I left Italy with a one-way ticket for Nepal, just knowing what I'd been doing in the first three weeks there: teaching English to deaf students. It was an amazing experience, since I've always been interested in sign language and i've studied it since 2007. When I was in that small village, seven hours far from Kathmandu, being the only Western person, I realized I want to become interpreter of sign language. So, after 4 months of travelling through Nepal and China, I came back to Italy for some months, I worked for a wine producer and now I'm currently in Brussels, Belgium. The plan is to stay here for some months... let's see what happens! ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I definitely love to meet locals when I travel, I love to share some time with them, eating, drinking, discovering the place I'm visiting, and at the sime time, I love to give suggestions about my place, even if I can't host people at the moment.

Interests

I like travelling (of course, who doesn't, here on CS? ;) ), cooking, meeting new people, chatting, going around, listening to the stories people want to share with me about their experiences. I enjoy simple things, a guitar and some friends can make me happy: ending a dinner by playing and singing all together is great! (Btw, I cannot play guitar, but I'd like to learn at least how to strum it!)

Music, Movies, and Books

The last book I read is "L'orizzonte ogni giorno un po' più in là" by Claudio Pelizzeni. It's the story of his 1000-day travel around the world with no flights. I was glad to meet him during the launch of the book, he's a very inspiring and interesting guy, and when I read his story I totally feel the emotions he felt during his trip.

Even if I usually fall asleep when watching movies, I love "Amèlie" (especially the soundtrack by Yann Tiersen).
I love Into the wild as well, the last time I watched it I was in Nepal in a open-air cinema on a hill on the lake of the town... good vibes and atmosphere!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I walked on the Great Wall in China... it was breathtaking!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help you to learn Italian and something about Italy. We can do it by preparing some typical Italian dishes while drinking a glass of good wine!

I'm very interested in foreign languages, both the languages I've been studying and the languages I've never met before!
