ABOUT ME

Hi/Ciao/Hello! I'm Simona, I come from the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland. I moved to Lausanne to study, I've been living here since 2007. I just finished my Master in English Literature and I am now looking for new opportunities.

I love travelling, meeting new people from all over the world, speak different languages, going to concerts, party, read, hiking, skiing and snowboarding.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a dreamer but stuck with my feet on the ground.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I share a flat with my sister Larissa and another girl from Ticino. We are up to meet and/or host couch surfers from all over the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had my first couchsurfing experience in Oslo, in November 2010 and it was great! I'm looking forward to couchsurf again!!!

Interests

I love travelling and discovering new places while meeting new people. I love to be in the nature, hiking and just contemplate the beautiful wildlife that surrounds us. One of my main hobbies is going to concerts and festivals. I love writing concerts reviews on my blog.
I also like reading, go out & TV series.
I like doing sport, my favourite are ski and snowboarding, so that's why I love Winter and snow!! I wait the entire year for snow to come so that I can ride my snowboard ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I have ever done is certainly my ERASMUS in Aberdeen (Scotland). This experience changed my life and made of Scotland my (second) home. I fell in love with the Scottish culture, its people, I danced ceilidh, ate haggis and tasted whisky and ales.

Thanks to my Erasmus I had the chance to meet amazing people from different cultures and from all over the world. I travelled a lot around Scotland and the UK, seeing the most amazing place I've ever seen so far: the Isle of Skye, a paradise on earth.
