My name is Valentina. 👋🇮🇹

My hometown is a cosy town in the North-West of Italy called Asti, quite popular for its wines and grapes, 🍷🍇
in the heart of Piedmont...maybe you know Asti Spumante?? 🍾😜
My region is well-known for the city of Turin and its automotive industry🏎
or.. Juventus! ⚽️

My village is cute and quiet, lovable enough to be ridden by bike and leave my car at home if I can. I really like practice and try any kind of sports.
I like riding by bike outdoors on the hills. 🚴🏻‍♀️

I ❤️ adrenaline!🎢

I currently live in USA, in Orlando FL, so if you are looking for American vibes, I am definitely not the person you are looking for. 😆 I am still 💯 % Italian. 🍕🤌😂

I like healthy food and eating as well! 🤪🍽🤤
I often eat organic and fair trade.
I'm not vegetarian or vegans although, but quite prefer a diet rich in fruit and vegetables. I love tropical fruit. 😍

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love life experience and learn from it!
Couchsurfing is one of the best way I got so far!
You trust people and u get more life... that’s it!
You never know how your journey is going to evolve.
"I travel by myself but I am never alone" that is what I always say. What amazing feeling is that?
You are actually always travelling with the whole world and someone is always waiting for you.
And of course...I love traveling, creating networks, relationships, getting to know people and discover new cultures.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to every kind of music.
It depends on my mood, where I am, if I want to sing or dance or just listening.
Btw, I don't know how to dance but I know how to have fun! 💃😂
Sometimes I drag myself to the new play list of the moment.

I like movies with an important morale, people who have been successful, movies taken from a true story and some of science fiction.

Some movies:
matrix / collateral beauty / interstellar / interstate 60 / up / in time / the lego movie / Joy / le missionnaire / the green mile / inside out / a beautiful mind / Intouchables / the bucket list / léon / chappie / lion.
I love all Robin Williams’ movies as "dead poets society".
I love many Will Smith's movies as "the pursuit of happiness", "focus".
I like some Adam Sandler movies as "50 first dates”.

I read books of psychology, pnl, marketing, natural cures, food properties. I never read novels.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to improve my Spanish and become more confident with water activities.
I can teach you Italian and/or Italian gestures 🤌👌 😆

I usually like to make tiramisú; it’s easy to learn and I am sure you will be able to impress your friends and family with it! 😋
