We are a couple from Italy, both 27 and both environemntal engineers.
We are in love with nature and we work to protect our beautiful Earth.
We live in Verona and we work as researcher at the University of Padua.
Rachi is in love with animals and most of all with birds (especially parrots).
We love sports: Rachi plays volleyball since when she was 6, Michi plays crossfit. We love hiking on the mountains and swimming in the sea.
We love to travel and discover new places and new people.
We always really have the curiosity to meet local people, visit with them, have a good dinner together or just hangout together; discovering hidden places thanks to the people living in a place, are the best moments during a trip for us! To experience local traditions and to understand local ways of living it's amazing :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We created the account before our planned trip to Japan (this December). Since we love to meet people and live the real traditions and places, we thought this could be the best way to have a great Japan experience.
Michele already tried Couchsurfing with some friends during a trip in Iran and he is enthusiast!
We just moved to our new apartment so we are trying to arrange a place where to host friends; you can text us and we will talk together about what we can offer day by day! :)
