About Me

I am a single mum and I live in Turin (Italy) with my 1 year old son and two cats. My son's father is British (and he lives in the UK) so we speaks both Italian and English at home. I used to live in the UK too and I loved it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started couchsurfing some years ago to discover new places with local friends. Now I'd like to couchsurfing again with my son to let him learn different languages and cultures!
Actually I'm not able to host because I'm renovating the flat to make it more child-friendly, but as soon as my flat will be OK I'd like to host other single parents with kids same aged as mine so they can play together

Music, Movies, and Books

I sing in a very very bad way. However I did karaoke in Vietnam :)
I loved to watch Netflix, but now I don't have TV at home
He used to read a lot before becoming a mum. Now I don't have spare time, but I try to read at least a book every month and read to my son every day in English and Italian

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I fed monkeys in Malaysia, I traveled by bike in Israel, I visited secret gardens in Paris, I eat fantastic food in Vietnam and I met a lot of nice people around the world

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not a good chef for Italian standards, but at least I can teach you how to cook a real Italian pasta or pizza :)
I like to talk with people, to see new place and to taste new food

What I Can Share with Hosts
