Hi everyone! I'm Ludovica, a 24 years old Italian girl. I grew up in Sicily, close to Taormina; I got a degree in Oriental languages ( Chinese and Japanese) in Naples then I moved to Bologna to get a master. Actually, I have been living around the world while studying 😅 (I did an intership in Amsterdam as an Italian teacher, I got a scholarship to study in China for 6 months, I lived in Ireland for a month, in Lisbon for 2 months, in Greece for other 2 months in order to do a research about anarchy in Exarchia and so on). My problem is that I like too many things so I can't focus myself in just one path (this path should be working with my degree in Chinese but it's not enough for me 😄). I want to learn more languages: I love Spanish and Portuguese so I hope to move to South America or to Spain/Portugal for a while. I think that the way to find the right path to me is to keep travelling in order to find my place in tha world, but I'm enjoying the journey so far
😉 I'm a dynamic girl, who loves extreme sports, reading (Dostoevskij and Hermann Hesse are 2 of my favourite writers), hiking, climbing, swimming, dancing, canyoning, body rafting, aerial silks, yoga, snorkeling, wind surfing, teaching. I'm not a party girl anymore (I did so many party/raves when I was younger, now it's boring to me; all I'm looking for is ADVENTURES AROUND THE WORLD ;D). I'm a nature lover: I love to lost my self in the wildness. I was an hip-hop and ballet dancer but recently I got a new passion: Yoga. I love to connect with myself, I love to obverse my conscience, to purify it 😊 I think that you must stay well with yourself to stay well with other people :) also, I like to try the acrobatic poses ;)
Travel around the world makes me happy so I just want to travel as much as I can to see the world with my own two eyes and share experiences with open-minded people. Extreme and crazy stuff let me feel free, wild and alive!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that CS is not just free accomodation, CS is much more: you can find good friends from all over the world, you can share experiences with different people, discovering new cultures, improving new languages.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

just one ??! No way :D
. I climbed a mountain in China while it was snowing
.. I choose to study Chinese and Japanese at the same time ( I lost my brain ;D)
... I got a gun tattoo when I was in London just because a punk told me that the gun is the symbol of determination!! (Wtf?!?! ahahah). But it's still one of my best memories of my teenager years ;)
... I bought a one way ticket to Dublin and I ended up travelling for 4 months around Europe without planning anything! (BEST TRIP EVER)
.... I decided to visit all those countries which are considered "dangerous", such as Palestine, Jordan, Turkey, Iran, egypt and so on. My goal is to prove that all the stuff we see/hear from the mass media are just PREJUDICES and STEREOTYPES!!
...... I packed so many times my backpack with almost nothing in order to travel solo around our beautiful world. I don't like the comfort zone. I like changing, discovering. I hate wasting my time with boring people. how is it possible that the most part of the guys I have met in Italy and abroad think that getting drunk and going to party are the best ways to enjoy life?? c'mon guys!! there are so many things to see/do in tha world! Let's pack our backpack and go, even without money!! ;D Stay free and wild is my motto!
