We are Matteo and Silvia from Italy. We met in Barcelona 4 years ago where we lived for a year. After that we have been living in Lisbon, Wien, Munich and Berlin.
Silvia has a master in plant biology and Matteo in management and digital marketing. We are now in Berlin since a year and a half where Matteo is working for a digital advertising agency and Silvia finished her master. After participating in some volunteering projects, talked with people coming from all over the world and dreamed about exploring new countries, we decided to leave everything behind our shoulders and travel to South America for at least 2-3 months.
We love cooking (and eating!!), reading books, surfing (we love it, but we are still not very good though), socializing, travelling, chilling and we are especially very interested to know the real culture of the places we will be visiting.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We love socializing, travelling, chilling and we are especially very interested to know the REAL culture of the places we will be visiting. Couchsurfing looks as the perfect way to do so! :)
We hope we'll have the opportunity to meet and explore together some special spots in your city!!
And, of course, we'd be thrilled to host you in Reggio Emilia or Florence if you pass by Italy ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

We both ejoy movies, mostly all kinds.. but love thrillers and romantic ones! :)

Silvia: I read much, I love Isabel Allende and Marion Zimmer Bradley but I actually read almost all kind of books - historical, thrillers, biographies, books about current events.. everything :)
I listen to various types of music, I just don't really like the techno and electronic (which here in Berlin is the kind of music you find everywhere) and the hard rock.
I love watching movies (specially thrillers and romantic ones), but what I really like now is series - I love The Big Bang Theory, Friends, Vikings, Californication and many others. I like them because they take a short time, and you caneasily whatch one episode during the study breaks :)

Teach, Learn, Share

We would love to improve our Spanish skills, and we can teach Italian of course.
We also would love to share "culinary experience": we love to learn about other countries' food and we can teach many Italian recipes :)
