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 .
Best downhill skiing ever!
