I'm Martina. I'm 22 and I'm Italian. I actually an au pair in America because I love kids and travelling. In my spare time I try to learn languages, reading, writing, go out with friends to dance and eating some gorgeous food. I travelled a lot in my life with my parents and I want to continue to do that also alone.
I studied Fashion design in an Art high school, so art is a big part of my life. Right now I’m really interested in photography as well. I never couchsurfed before because I never had the opportunity, but I’m an adventurous person and this is one of the things that I would like to try... the other once are buggy jumping and skydinving 🙈

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I would like to meet different people that can show me cities in a completely different way, and learning something new from the people that live in that city, like a recipe, or slangs, life style etc... I really love to learn different English idioms even if they are silly once!
I hope that someone will give me this opportunity.

Interests

My interest are all over the art world. I consider also writing an art because there is nothing more beautiful and expressive than a good book, or a personal diary. Right now I’m really into photography and organizing trips. I love to go in art museums when I travel, or just find a good park or place where I can hike and see amazing landscapes.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen almost everything from Einaudi, to Green day, but right now my favorite band are Panic! At the disco and 5 Second of Summer. I love some good old rock and roll as well and dance,even though I’m not really good at it.
I love fantasy books, but I don't have a favorite one. I go to the library almost every week since a love to spend time with my nose in the pages of a new book or manga.
My favorite movies are Chicago the musical, The Greatest Showman,Burlesque and Grease (I like musicals, but also a good comedy.)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Have you ever seen Hyams Beach, in Australia? I said everything...
I slept in a 5 seats car, with other 4 girls, in some parking lot somewhere in the NY state after leaving home at 12:30am to go to Montreal.
I was a volunteer in the NY Marathon 2018 and it was amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my passion for art, music and travels. Maybe I can also teach you some Italian recipes, and I can learn some of your recipes. I would like also to learn the story of the different countries and visit some new amazing places.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My companionship obviously! I like doing funny stuff and go out for a good beer, or just have a tea and talk. I can offer also my passion and ability in the kitchen, especially for cakes and cookies!
I can teach you some Italian mixed with my region dialect (very different from Italian, but I love it), or that couple of Japanese sentences that I learned watching anime or Terrace house.
