CURRENT MISSION

Discover the world to discover myself, making friends all over the world!

ABOUT ME

Hey guys, I'm Roberta and I live in Torino.
I'm a very positive, enthusiastic and active person, I'm always looking for new experiences and new friends.
I have many hobbies and dreams, but my great passion is to travel, knowing different cultures and people from all around the world.
I think that every person that I meet is a whole world to discover, I like to share my experiences and culture and I'm very very curious about what surrounds me.
I always smile, because I think that life is hard but wanderful, if you catch the right way to live it.

PHILOSOPHY

You have to live the life to discover the wonderful side of it! Learn, share what you already know, discover new places, meet new people...be open minded!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love the CS idea of travelling, so I can partecipate both surfing and hosting, everytime is a new amazing experience!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met amazing people while immersing myself in different cultures, thoughts, way to see and live the life.

Interests

Apart travelling and immerse myself in new cultures, I really love every kind of art. Painting, drawing, writing..I use art to express myself and my thoughts about the world.
My art is influenced by people, I like to draw portraits of friends or of strangers, try to catch a eye, a moment, a mood, a piece of life.
In general I like every kind of sport, like ice skeating, snowboard, sky, basketball..but I'm a good juggler, I really enjoy to teach people to juggle and improve myself with new triks and figures of this sport...if you want to learn it, just ask!
I'm studying languages, at the university I started to learn Chinese, improving English and I am studying Slovak language by myself with the help of a Slovak friend of mine, as well.
