If I explain everything here, there'll be no fun in getting to know each other! I also think it's a bit creepy when you meet someone and already know everything about him/her because of social networks.

Anyways I'll give it a go: I'm really talkative and outgoing and my biggest passion is living in different countries as well as travelling. I was born and raised in Italy, in a small town by lake Garda. When I was 17 I moved to NZ and went to school there for 6 months and that's when it all started.

Since then I have been moving around quite a bit, mostly for study reasons as well as a little (much) of fun. I have lived in London (England), Melbourne (Australia), Borlänge (Sweden) and Berlin (Germany). I have enjoyed every experience, I got to understand how their people think and have learned something from each culture.

Now after two years in beautiful Milan, I moved back to Germany, in Munich.

PHILOSOPHY

I rather be optimistic and wrong, than pessimistic and right.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To connect with people in places I'm new to!

CS has been a positive experience every single time I've resorted to it as the people who join it are always like-minded and absolutely lovely :)

Interests

Living in foreign counties and travelling, and what comes with it above all, so meeting new people and experiencing different cultures and lifestyles.

Stand-up comedy, art, cinema, climbing, cooking (actually more eating), coffee.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Though I don't think it's all that myself, but people keep telling me that moving to a place where I don't know a single soul is.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Cooking, after all I am Italian!

Learn: Truly anything, I'm pretty curious about many things.

Share: Anything, with some good friends I've even shared toothbrushes, hehehe!

What I Can Share with Hosts

My company, a good chat and an Italian meal.
