About Me

Quick note : I'm not the clubbing type. I prefer hanging out at cafés, taking walks and talking about random things over food at casual places.

-----------------------------

So, I'm an Italian-born (Palermo, Sicily) Italo-Maltese language and humanities student living in Malta. I'm passionate about cultures all over the world. I've met plenty of people who have strengthened my knowledge about certain cultures but as they say, you never stop learning.

My main languages are Italian, Maltese and English but I've achieved semi-fluency in Spanish and advanced level in French, although I'm out of practice so it has downgraded to intermediate, unfortunately.

I'm currently planning on learning Korean and later on, Chinese, German and maybe Russian. I also fancy teaching English around the world after university.

I have plenty of close friends from the States, South Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Mexico, Uruguay, Italy, UK and Spain.

Unfortunately, I cannot host at the moment but I'm definitely up for a meet up! As small as Malta may be, there are plenty of things to do and to see.

I have Instagram, Whatsapp and Facebook for further contact.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing because I believe that in order to fully experience a culture, there's no better way than to live with the locals or simply meet up. It also eliminates any sort of wrong stereotyping regarding a particular race/nationality, since you get to witness up close the reality of things.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music; Any music as long as it's not rock/heavy metal, you name it. Yiruma is a favorite. As for bands, I do believe British pop bands are the best around.
Books; anything from classical literature, to mystery, comedy and romance.
Movies; Comedy genre, Marvel (totally love superheroes), romance, action but a big no-no to horror. Ah, can't forget true stories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visited the 360-stair tower in Scotland. Got sore feet in the end but totally worth it. Visited Shakespeare's study room and also the great poet Wordsworth's home, including his personal marvelous back garden.
