Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Starting a career in the healthcare field.
ABOUT ME
Quiet, funny and open-minded person. I love meet new people of different cultures which can help me to understand different aspects of life. Maybe I can write a book on these stories one day, It would be great!
I am 24 years old and I am graduated at the University of Padua. I studied foreign languages, in particular English and Spanish and I have spent 6 months in Spain with the Erasmus project. After that I spent one year travelling around the world with different stops along the way: California, New Zealand, Thailand and now I am in Scotland trying to build my new career in the healthcare field. I discover this passion for helping people while I was working in a retirement house in New Zealand and now I am trying to pursuit it. So I am always on a journey, just a different one!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I like couchsurfing, is a good way to connect with people of different nationalities, to find hospitality while you are travelling on a budget and to meet local people which can help you to be in contact with particular aspects of the place you are visiting.
As I am trying to start a career, I am not travelling for now, but I am hosting here in Edinburgh when my flatmates and me are available.
Interests
I play Ukulele pretty well but unfortunately I am not so good at singing.
I am interested in skateboarding. I started with a pennyboard (Pablo), than I switched to a longboard (Jeremy) during my trip and I am now with a skateboard (sky). I still learning, so any advice is accepted.
I love every type of sports (except football) and I love watching it (especially Olympics).
I played volleyball for 13 years in a team.
I love skiing, snowboarding, swimming and surfing.
I love books and movies too and I am interested in everything about it.
I like festival, especially vintage festivals and music ones.
