Hi there! I’m Maria Luisa.
I’m an actress and musician.
As a good Sagittarius I deeply love travelling and discovering places, people, stories and food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used couchsurfing twice in 2017 in southern Italy and it was amazing. (With my old e-mail address. Then I registered with my new one, but I started to actually use my CS account just now)
I recently rejoined the community because I took the commitment to travel everytime I can, everytime I have a break from work, no matter how long it is. And I love when I have the possibility to stay with a local, create connections, share cultures, get to know real stuff and real people, not only the touristic glossy side.
I would also love to host people at my place in Milan, when I’m in town. Taking the chance to make new friends :)
In fact, I did CS before knowing CS existed :D when I was in Drama School, in Udine (Italy), I hosted a lot of actors who were on tour and were passing through there.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love almost all kind of music, but if I were to save only one genre, it would and forever will be classical music. It is so much more beautiful than everything else.
Movies… how could I say, good ones? 🤪
I love reading novels (above all Dostoevskij and Saramago) and essays, mostly psychological, sociological and philosophical.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once escaped from a fire in my building.

I once acted in a short movie about a robbery: the set wasn’t appropriately marked, someone called the police and they arrived, pointing their guns on me and my colleagues while we were screaming: “We’re actors!!! We’re actors!!!”

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m into languages, so I’d love to practice my English and my French. I could teach you some Italian of course.
I could definitely help with music or singing!
And I’d love too share some Italian cuisine and teach you my famous Tiramisù!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can be helpful at home (very neat, very organised), teach some Italian, music and singing, make an Italian dinner for you and your friends 🍷
I’m deeply flexible: I would be happy to hang out together, eat together and share my time in your city, but also totally ok with staying on my own if you’re busy.
