Hello everyone! I'm a design student in Erasmus in Finland . I love to travel and explore!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I heard about CouchSurfing when I met a group of nice guys from all over the world , arrived in my remote village to walk together! I thought it was fantastic and I waited for the right opportunity to participate in this platform.

Interests

Growing up in Italy I developed two great passions: the art and history. In a new city I am always in a museum ! To those who think that culture is boring and smells of dust , I'm sorry to tell you but you are wrong. The old cities hide secrets, and one of my favorite pastimes is wandering to discover them.

I love historical reenactments, board games and good beer. And if there is anyone good at telling stories I am the most happy person in the world.

I also like the out door adventures. Nature walks and camping are great fun for me; I'm afraid of not being done for the night life in the clubs.

I like good food and I cook often; I worked for several years in a restaurant and I like to share my meals with others. If we meet we have to prepare a dinner toghether and celebrate!

Music, Movies, and Books

I spend a lot of my time reading. Usually I like to read it all, but my favorite reading are novels.
I love " Pillars of the Earth " by Ken Follet , this is the one that I am never tired of; I also like very romantic novels (lately I´m fixed with Outlander ;) ) or fantasy filled with magic and dragons . Another author that I have often in my bag is Murakami.

As for movies, I admit to being quite ignorant on the subject, so I'd like to discuss it with some lovers to open me a bit ' eyes to the potentialities of the cinema.
I quite like the TV series, especially in the historical background (what a surprise ...) , but in general terms I love well-crafted stories. I'm currently watching: Games of Thrones, Vikings, Sherlock Holmes . I was thinking about starting Peaky Blinders . Have you any suggestions?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Right now I'm in Erasmus in Finland and this thing is A W E S O M E.
Now, hypothetically speaking , there is a fantastic thing that you can do in Finland with the right amount of alcohol and good company.
You need a giant pillow, ski slopes and garbage bags . Climb the slopes on foot is really hard , but it's worth it . ;)

P.S. I have to tell you that go down the ski slopes closed at night with pillows, sleds and garbage bags is illegal, so do not take me as example. Or at least do not get caught.
