I'm a journalist, a globetrotter and a determined idealist. I left Argentina in 2010 to live in my favourite city, Rome. But ever since I took on the road, I didn't stop travelling. I have lived in Bonn, Germany and I am now based in Cairo, Egypt, where I write for an online magazine and my travel blog, https://valentinaprimo.wordpress.com

I once heard that there isn’t anyone you couldn’t love once you’ve heard their story. What if we listened to the stories each culture has to tell? My blog is an attempt to travel the world through the stories woven by its cities, its cultures, and its wonderful human beings; in the hope that, perhaps, we can tear down stereotypes and fall in love with humanity again.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because travelling to me is more than getting the postcard picture. I like to see each city through its dwellers' eyes.

When I moved from Rome to Bonn for 5 months, Couchsurfing actually made my stay! It not only helped me during my first days in a country where I didn't even speak the language, but also to find an appartment and meet amazing people to share time with. I was my first CS experience and I was amazed to see the spirit and solidarity that holds it together.
