About Me

I live in Padova, Italy, where I obtained my master's degree in European Studies. I am currently on an Eastern European tour where I want to devour any local food I can grab, visit the museums and hit the clubs! Thanks to Couchsurfing, I was able to meet numerous unique people along the way.
I work as an English teacher, travel, sing, cook, and enjoy the beauty of life. I prefer this platform not only because financial reasons, it's also that meeting new people almost became an addiction. I would spend my money on a good bottle of wine to share with someone rather than paying for lonely hotel rooms.
Hit me up for any topic!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After a long pause of social interactions, this will be a suitable opportunity to meet new people while travelling!

Interests

I am a trained choir singer. I've been to several concerts around Italy.
I'm trying to extend my knowledge on cooking, because food is essential for me. It is, I think, one of the delicacies that life offers.
I've been reading since I was 5. I always seek knowledge and want to know how things work.

  • literature
  • cooking
  • politics
  • classical music
  • opera

Music, Movies, and Books

My all-time favourite composer is Ludwig van Beethoven.
I also like the works of Bach, Vivaldi, Chopin, Brahms, Rachmaninoff, Liszt etc.
I am a huge fan of classical literature, mostly Russian.
In cinema, I immensely enjoy movies by Tarantino, Kubrick, Scorsese, Bergman, Kurosawa, and Clint Eastwood.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recorded an audiobook for a platform for visually impaired people.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A nice and interesting conversation is the least I can share with anyone I meet. I can also cook for everyone in the house.
