About Me

I am an Italian who hasn't found her place on Earth yet. I want to try and live in most countries I can so as to understand which one is better for me. I would also like to have a family, but I think these two desires are aut aut so I haven't decided so far!

I am currently studying in an Erasmus Mundus Masters in comparative literatures that will take place in three different universities, which is so cool because I studied languages and literature especially to have the opportunity to travel, meet new people and get to know their culture and personality in the proper way.

I am very sociable and sometimes over-talkative BUT there is a secret way to stop me: food. Yes, maybe I'm acting Italian too much but I believe eating together is one of the best chances to know people and I love to experience all what is “different” in terms of cuisine (and also sport, culture, lifestyle and religion), even though I can't cook. Shame on me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I discovered couchsurfing thanks to a friend of mine and I first used it to go to China. I had so many beautiful experiences that I didn't want to leave it anymore!
I dream about having a place of my own where I will be finally able to host someone and return the favour. But for now, I am very keen to meet up any couchsurfer in town:)

Interests

I love reading, watching movies, dinosaurs, walking, talking about mysterious things like ufos, universe, life after death, philosophy, writing random things and my everyday journal (since I was 11!), art, my dog Anacleto.
I also love learning new languages, playing sport, no need to mention travelling, and clubbing (no minimal thanks).
I super love hanging out with people - especially foreign people because it makes me feel part of something bigger -.
