Hi everybody! I’m Maria (Mariella for friends) and I don’t know how to describe me so I’ll write random things about me :) Some years ago I moved from the south of Italy to Turin to study : I wanted indipendence and I wanted to meet new people, and Turin is a fantastic city. I love to travel for the same reason : it gives freedom and everytime I come back I’ve a lot of great memories and new friends around the world.

I'M IN ERASMUS UNTIL FEBRUARY, SO I CAN'T HOST NOW! ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I think travelling is the most interesting thing we can do in our life, and be hosted by someone of the place is the best way to understand the real culture of the place.

Interests

Maybe because I’ve born in the south of Italy, maybe because I love food, maybe because when I was young my grandmother teached to me how to do it, I love cooking! My biggest dream is to have a little restaurant somewhere in the world, a little place where you can eat traditional food in a relaxing atmosphere, with a glass of good wine and music in the air.
