Hi, we are Nicole and Pietro from Italy.
In 2018 we decided to leave our job and we started traveling. We went from our home to Singapore by land, without flying, in 7 months. We went through Russia, China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Myanmar, Malesia and Singapore and we enjoyed this experience so much that now we feel the need to travel the rest of the world!

From 2020 we live and work in Iceland for some months and we travel during the rest of the year.
In 2023 we visited Latin America for 5 months, crossing the Amazon River and discovering many different and interesting cultures between Peru, Brasil, Paraguay, Argentina and Uruguay.

The latest travel has been through Nepal, Bangladesh and India for 2 months at the beginning of 2024.

I( Nicole) speak Italian, French, English and Spanish and I'm now studying Icelandic and Portuguese, I love to get to know foreign cultures.

My husband loves dancing, he teaches break dance and he’s really good in painting and drawing.

We’re really friendly and easygoing. You can search us on Facebook or Instagram, we are Nicole Salteri and Pietro Porcu. We also have a page where we share our adventures called “Ricordati il Giacchetto”, which means to remember your coat, typical mum’s phrase before leaving the house.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We’re on Couchsurfing because we want to be in contact with local people, to be in contact with the real culture and costumes of the places. We love to make friends, to share experiences of life and to learn new things.

Not to talk about the crossing of the Amazon river in slow boats sleeping in hammocks for days.

Teach, Learn, Share

We love to share our culture and all we learned while traveling and we would like to learn something about yours. We love languages, so we'd love to learn some basic words of your language.
We love food, we think we cannot truly understand a place without eating like locals
