About Me

I was doing a master degree in "international cooperation and development", before I decided to take a break - mooving to Cardiff, making an EVS project - that means I worked in the office, promoting work-camp, inter-cultural exchange, and "self development" - endind mooving again to Rennes for a Civique Service project, and finally to Paris, to be with my boyfriend (who followed me in France, from Madrid - well, we'll be glad to explain you better!!), working as "au pair", then a spanish summer in Madrid, and back to Rome. "To finally" finish my study.
I didnt trust my mom when, right before leaving for Cardiff, she told me "you won't came back home, from this experience".
I didnt trust myself that much - living alone? Abroad? Without my family and friends? Not in my confort zone? Not able to speak english?
As you could easily imagine, I've survived. I've been living the most amazing time of my life.
I did come back, with my boyfriend (@Alex De Miguel, on CS), in my mum's house for a couple of months.
Back to december 2017, we started our new life together, in a tiny, but ours, house.

Here we are, an internation couple - Italy and Spain - and two handsome kitten, Fergus (from Outlander, for who have seen it..) and Taylor! Nice to meet you :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Due to my desire to explore the world, meeting up with Alex while living in different cities, I surfed many couches, being each time surprised by people - always in a positive way.
Learning life lessons, food recepies, talking about hobbies, discovering new places..well you know, the whole CS experience (for who is new there, well, you are going to agree with me!).

Now we are based, working and studying, without many possibilities to surf couches again.
Reason why it's going to be a pleasure to host you here.

Interests

My first hobby is read a book, on the sofa with a cup of hot chocolate, if it's possible - but, I should be honest..right now I'm not really practising it.
I've been living that much the latest months that I didnt have that much time.

I love take pictures. I got a professional camera at my 18th birthday, from that moment I used to say - in "dangerous" situation - "keep my camera safe first, then me".
Some feelings are quite hard to express but, you can still put them all together in one single picture, and that's just amazing.

Music, Movies, and Books

Well..there is are few things that I love more than Taylor Swift. She is my Before Anyone Else - as "fangirls" used to say. If you will ever meet me, probably you will heard me talking about her - I'm really sorry for it, but I'm still not able to menage it.
Favorite movies is "Ps. I love you"
Favorite book (I get emotional just thinking about it) is "Me before You".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moved to Cardiff - I still can't believe it.
Then Rennes. Then PARIS. Yes, it did happen - realing one of my biggest dream. Then Madrid.
Rent "our house" without a stable job.

I hugged Taylor Swift. Same - I'm still not sure it happened.
