I recently finished my undergraduate in Psychology in Montreal, Canada and work with children with special needs. I also facilitate workshops at a centre for adults with disabilities. It's challenging work, but it keeps my creativity flowing. I enjoy a number of other creative activities including oil painting, puppetry, and making miniatures. I also love doing art with others, specially those who don't consider themselves 'artistic'! I like reading sci-fi, going on hikes, swimming, and any water-related activities.

I'm someone who gets a lot of energy when surrounded by community. I'm easy-going, and enjoy the spontaneity of things. However, I'm also sensitive to my surrounding and take some time to myself during the day to meditate and recharge.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy learning about cultures, languages, and trying all kinds of new foods.

I've studied in a very international environment for the past five years (in Italy and in Canada), and have learnt an incredible amount from being constantly exposed to people from different backgrounds. I deeply value diversity and being open-minded, and I find Couchsurfing to be a great way to meet people and exchange conversations, experiences, food (I love to cook!) etc.
