ABOUT ME

I am a very respectful, outgoing, and independent person. I love to travel and I enjoy meeting new people and learning new languages. I recently spent a year on exchange at the University of Bologna studying Italian literature and film.

Sono una ragazza socievole, indipendente, e molto rispettosa. Mi piace viaggiare e incontrare nuove persone, e imparare le lingue. Recentemente, ho trascorso un' anno in Italia dove ho studiato letteratura italiana e cinema all'Università di Bologna.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have only couchsurfed once and it was fabulous!!

Interests

I absolutely love music and books. I study English literature and Italian in the U.S. I also enjoy exercise and lots of food!!! Music and books are essentially how I would describe myself. My taste is vast and I am always open to suggestions!

Amo la musica e i libri. Studio letteratura inglese e italiano negli Stati Uniti. Mi piace fare ginnastica (ero un giocatore di pallavolo), leggere, scrivere, imparare, bella compagnia, e mangiare!
