Love opera and Italian music 40s/80s, theater, visiting new cities and natural landscapes, dancing Cuban salsa and reading.
I've been living abroad for 5 years, in the beautiful Vienna, and I'm currently working in the Italian Institute of Culture (Italian Embassy in Vienna); when I have the possibility, I like to travel abroad and see new countries, I especially love warm places and water landscapes, above all the SEE!
I'm openminded and like to know new people and have a nice talk, go around and share time and a fine meal with them, especially those who can take that funny, crazy side out of me :)
I'm currently living with my boyfriend, so if you want to be hosted by a couple, this is the right place ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's just nice to have someone to meet and to chat a bit with while travelling, locals above all. So you can discover the real local culture, make new friends and practice foreign languages.

After travelling on the CS mood for 1 month, I can also say that this experience taught me an incredible amount of things, cause you see different ways of life that you didn't know about and this enriched me a lot, which is the reason why I'd love to do it many more times and also to host new couchsurfers at my place :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you around here in Vienna and take you to the opera house, let you discover Austrian cuisine and cook Italian dishes at home (I'm open up for culinary exchanges). My boyfriend Clément is French and he cooks French crepes every Sunday for breakfast.
If you want to improve your German I can help you by talking or playing kids-Tabu in German ;)
