My name is Marta, I was born in Rome, and I am mostly Italian. I am small and I need the help of stools to reach the cupboard. I believe whatever people say to me, also the kind of stuff like "There's a flying pig over there!" or Santa Klaus. I am responsible and lazy. I am curious and I like to listen to good stories. I make good jokes when I'm not grumpy, and I always enjoy good talks, philosophically speaking or just chatting in front of a cup of tea. I'm vegetarian so I don't make carbonara - but I can tell you how to make a proper one (no cream, for instance). I just hope to see as much world as I can until I can.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I'm currently living in Dublin, Ireland, doing my third Erasmus and working. Unfortunately, I can't host people here, but I'm always happy to meet up and enjoy the company of travelling fellows who wants to find good spots or good stories of this little gem called Dublin, and keep good memories with them. I also want to travel around Ireland and UK, meet with locals who want to share their love for these countries or with foreigners who want to share their exotic stories.

Intereses

I like reading, writing, drawing, acting, traveling, taking pictures, watching good ol' movies, drinking hot tea and cold beer, and sleeping. I'd like flying on a hot air balloon and skydiving and do as many things as I can so I can tell my grandchildren when the time comes. I really like laughing, I like dancing (sometimes), and I like bike races at dawn. I like learning, so if you really feel the urge of teaching somebody something, teach me - teach me!
