About Me

Hi ! Who am I?
It's not an easy task for me to understand myself, but the things that I could say about me are as follow:
1) I love the sea: I grew up in a village on the coast Italy, Tuscany.
2) I am studying medical imaging (software engineering) in an Erasmus Mundus Program. It may mean that I like programming and traveling as well.
3) In highschool I studied ancient greek and I love it.
3) I lived in Italy until 2016, when I decided to take the master. Thanks to this decision, I have been 5 months in Bourgogne where I discovered the french attention to the public places, the taste of good wines, some strange machines for cooking, the cordon bleu (a good one), the gentlyness of Burgundy people. Then, I lived in Southern Lazio for other six months, where I discovered the real taste of pizza and mozzarella (yes, pizza and mozzarella are not always the same neither in Italy), I found big hearts in the people, the beautiful mess of my country, the wonderful dialects of those areas. And now I am in Girona, that some people say to be in Spain and others to be in Catalunya. I do not really know how this matter is going on, but I would like to know in the next future. Until now, I could say I love spanish language and catalan one as well.
4) I love eating and specially trying new tastes.
5) I enjoy learning new languages and cultures and giving the chance to other people to learn mine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will be in Girona until June for the thesis semester of the MSc. I would like to visit Spain, to meet new people and to share experiences.
