I was born in Italy and have lived in Belgium since 2016. I have a wild passion for foreign languages and living Brussels allows me to speak 3 or 4 languages daily. I'm a translator by university background but I work in a communication agency. Currently I'm studying to become a certified teacher and hopefully will start teaching English as a Second Language soon.

I'm a respectful and friendly person who loves to interact with people from different backgrounds. I like sociable people who have stories to tell and who are curious as life just as I am.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet people from every corner of the world and I believe that the only real way to explore a country is to get in touch with locals.
