About Me

Current Mission: Surviving Bella Italia plus world Peace, one day at a time.

Energetic, Goofy, Passionate, Risk-taker, Sarcastic, Bold, Brave, Adventurous, Multi-cultural, Animal Lover, Friendly, Easy-going, Chocoholic, Hopeless Romantic, Workaholic, Dedicated...
The list goes on, but you're the one who should find out!
25 years on this earth, and I am slowly figuring out what I want to do with my life even though I have overgrown and it's not the most convenient thing to do.
I am a student of Masters, studying Immigration in the Mediterranean at Ca Foscari University of Venice and I love writing, animals and traveling. Change is what keeps me going on and I experience it in more than one way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling! But more than that, I love meeting new people and getting to know their culture. Every person is a unique representation of a culture, in my opinion. It's also a great way to live the life of a person from a certain place in a short time, rather than going to a hotel, and being a simple tourist.
What I love most about CS is the safe atmosphere and the ability to open the door to a world of opportunities to people.

Interests

I am very interested in having deep talks about history, philosophy, religion, literature, culture and mythology of various countries and cultures. I can keep listening and listening and listening.
I'm also interested in your own life stories. If you have a pet, I'll be hooked on it :D
