Hello, I'm Sonia! I'm 25 and I am Italian. I have been living permanently in Shijiazhuang since 2013. I came here as a student, but currently I am working as an english teacher in a kindegarten. I love learning different languages, I do believe that being able to communicate with people from different countries using different languages is amazing! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because my dear friends Barbara and James (on couchsurfing too) told me about their great experience and the beautiful people they have met here! :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Rock, Country, Reggaeton, Vallenato, Folk, African music... I like listening a bit of everything, as long as it makes me feel happy!
