About Me

I enjoy life. I try to do what I like and there are a lot of things that I like :) A deep interest for languages, cultures and international migration.
I'm from Naples, a great city from the south of Italy. That's why I love the sunshine!!! Gardening is something that my parents taught me since I was a little girl. I feel strong connected to the land and nature. Traveling and meeting people from different countries is something that enriched me a lot during my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find couchsurfing a perfect way to welcome people around the world! It's the best way to know new places through people who live there and i It's a way to learn more about culture and life in a deeper way and not just as a simple tourist. Couchsurfing represents the chance to use technology and social media in a genuine and I would say ecological way! It connects people and it is the opportunity to connect with our world environment with no profit aims.

Interests

I am researching on media art. I am interested in folkloristic music as an expression of the traditional popular culture.
I love walking and read a good book in a park. The sunset on the beach is one of the best time for me to relax. I love cooking and try new exotic recipes always with a nice bottle of wine!
