My name is Simone, I am 24 years old and I come from a little village in the countryside of Milan, in Italy.
I moved to the Netherlands at the age of 18 to find new opportunities. There I worked as an Au Pair, graduated in Food Technology and developed my interest in cooking, bodyweight training, yoga and calisthenics.
There, I also met my girlfriend and since last year we started traveling together, visiting Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia. We love connecting and learn from other cultures and we love to find out new food, which I believe is one of the best things to make humans connect.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I would love to get in touch more closely with locals when I travel.
I experienced that traveling in hotels or hostels does not feel as authentic as staying at someone's place, learning about their life and their traditions.
The most memorable experiences I had when traveling where always when I stayed at friend's places because they showed me their life and their favorite spots, and made me connect more with the places I was visiting leaving me the best memories.
