Grew up in the beautiful countryside surrounding Mordano, a little town near Bologna (or almost!). Since then, I started appreciating nature with all my heart and dedicated some of my time to reading in the green. I am very keen of all arts. I love drawing, painting and discovering other ways of expressing oneself. I deeply enjoy reading; I choose books mostly based on true stories, classics, or "famous" books+ Fantasy (it is so creative!).

While attending a high school specialized in languages in Italy, I managed to travel around Europe quite a bit and did some cultural exchanges in countries like Finland, UK and France, which made me want to keep on travelling and meeting new people.

After this, I moved to the Netherlands to study Psychology at Erasmus University Rotterdam and I have spent 3 exceptional years there, where I had the chance to learn loads from another culture, meet wonderful people from hundreds of different countries (each of them with their special personality and interesting manners). I just graduated and started a career in research in molecular psychiatry.

Soon I will move to London to attend my Master in Behavioral Genetics and am looking forward to all the new experiences this adventure will bring!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I believe visiting one place implies more than simply checking its most famous buildings and venues. When there's the chance to meet people living in a given city, then you can fully experience a place . In this way, it is possible to explore the most hidden and interesting spots, to discover the "soul" of a city and of a culture.

I love ending up in little cute streets with small houses and flowers on the balcony. I find it a pleasure to see and engage in the typical habits of people living in a city/country. And most importantly, I believe life is really enriched when new people are met, different perspectives are given, and different behaviors are observed.

So I see couchsurfing as the best way to spice up and enrich trips while learning from others' ideas and perspectives :)

音乐、电影和书籍

Music: anything with good lyrics

Movies: Psychological thrillers, romantic comedies (I know...this can be a problem...but I swear I'm not going to bore you with them if you are not a fan :) ). Some of my favorites: Shutter Island, Perfetti Sconosciuti, Two weeks notice.

Books: Anything - it just needs to be a good story. Currently reading Homo Deus. Just read The Schopenhauer Cure. I sometimes read some philosophy texts just to stop from frenetic moments and think about life.
