I am an artistic soul in a big inner world that I am trying to find out by travelling and grasping whatever I could from the people I meet and who can let me know better the "quotidianity"of the place I visit. By the way, my name is Maria, I am from Italy and I am twenty years old. My passion are travelling, writing and people. Actually I have always tried to conciliate all my passion stick on papers what I receive from these three things. Of course, I love to learn everything is possible when I am ''abroad'': few words of a language never studied, how to make some food, how to drink to smt. I always search for programmes which let me travel around the globe because I hate to be stuck in the same place this is way I chose to study smt related to the international relations, intercultural mediation and I'm studying english, polish, russian but I would like to improve my french and... to learn, of course, spanish. Because it-s beautiful when you meet a person which speaks your language and because it's like you can know better the world understanding more languages. I took inspiration from all these experiences in my life. So, I'd rather say that travelling is the first source for everything I do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to live the experience of the place intensively, as if I were part of it because I love to live as I were a citizen of the world.
Because I could show you my city or the city where I live in the determined period and it will be super.
Because I could share with you good food and the experiences we had.
Because we could talk about the different habits, ideals and cultural manifestations, expressions of our countries.
Or just talking in the main square of who knows which city in front of a glass of wine (maybe an Aglianico Beneventano) or a shot of wodka.
Because I want to know something more about the world. But basically cuz I love good company! And intresting people!
