I'm Pietro. I come from the beautiful Amalfi Coast of Italy and now I live in Utrecht, the Netherlands. I'm a student of linguistics with a fervent passion for languages and different cultures.
I love interacting with new people and to plunge into the way of living of a country. I'm always up for having fun or for having a deep conversation.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 17, I left the small village where I grew up and went to Stockholm, Sweden for an exchange year. While there, I've been staying at a host family and I went to a normal school with all the Swedish kids.
I could never travel a lot as a kid, but this experience changed my life. The world opened up for me and it changed my way of thinking. I don't know if I could have so easily chosen to go and study in the Netherlands, if it wasn't for that.
Today I am a volunteer for AFS, the no-profit organisation who arranges these kinds of cultural exchanges and makes the world a better place.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to cook Italian food from my region (the real way). It makes me happy and Iove it when others enjoy what I make. I will love to see what people make in other countries and regions I'm visiting.
If anybody wants to practice, I will always be willing to speak Italian or any other language. I love answering questions that you may have.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will try to get some delicious products from Italy with me, but I can't say for sure whether I will manage. I can certainly cook for you!
I'll try to bring some good vibes to the house and share my culture to people that are interested!
I'm not new to staying at people's homes while travelling. I will have respect for your place and your privacy and it will be important for me that you enjoy hosting me!
