Born near Pompei, grew up in differents part of Italy.
Graduated in German and Hispanic Studies in England in 2018 and then moved to Freiburg, Germany. Have been working as a language teacher, translator and in hospitality.

Now I'm back in Italy for Masters's in Language, Society and Communication at the Uni Bologna after a long time abroad.
Having lived in six different countries in the past nine years I would definetely say I am constantly trying to get out of my comfort zone, face my fears and consider new perspectives.

Right now my purpose is to live the moment, express myself creatively, be kind to others and myself and keep learning and exploring.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people and try and avoid the touristy flow.

I know what it means to wander with a heavy bagpack on your shoulders, not knowing where to sleep, so I just want to help out, if I can.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking in the Peruvian Cordillera and sleeping in the Amazons.

Interrailing in Eastern Europe and couchsurfing almost everywhere

Cycling on a tandem from Tuscany to the South of Italy in August..

Hitchhiking through Croatia for a month and meeting many locals.

Sleeping alone in a room full of huge spiders in Vietnam (well for me it was pretty extreme).

Teaching English in Vietnam, teaching Italian in Germany..

Teach, Learn, Share

I am interested in learning any language (at the moment particularly Portuguese, French, Greek and Croatian-Serbian) and I can offer help in Italian, Spanish, English and German.
Ah! I can also teach the Napolitan dialect.

I only lately got into cooking and I'd like to collect recipes around.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am generally quite curious. I like listening to people's stories, the things and experiences that made them who they are.
