About Me

After graduating from high school in 2014 I decided to take a gap year. My father owns a little coffe/pastry shop with tipical italian sweets&cakes. I work for/with him since I was a kid. After I graduated I safed some money and in April '15 I finally started traveling. With three of my closest friends I traveled through Australia, Costa Rica and the USA.
I want to see a lot more because there are still so many coutries and cutures to explore.
The next country i would like to see is Colombia and I'm planing to go there next year!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it's the best way to get to know people from other countries with different cultures. There is so much to learn and see. For me it's the best experience because you get a diffrent point of view on many thinks by traveling/staying with someone who can tell you about his city/country.

Interests

I like meeting up with friends, like to do sports(mostly at the gym), I like coffee that's why I really enjoy my job.
I love traveling, meeting new people and experience new/different cultures.
Taking photos also is one of my favorite things to do, specifically when traveling but I'm just a hobby photographer.
