Hi! :D I am Italian and I come from a small town, Alessandria, in the north west of Italy. I love travelling, doing sports, singing and meeting new people. I am passionate about Chinese culture and I have lived in China for a couple of years, now dividing my time between Italy and Beijing. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think this is the best way to travel. It allows you to really dive into another culture, meet cool people and just have an adventure!

Interests

I love sports, I practised volleyball, swimming and basketball, but my heart belongs to kung fu. I got my black belt in 2014 and I am working hard to learn the most that I can to be a good master in the future. I also love singing, I've sung as a solist and in a choir. I like pretty much every music genra, I'm in love with music, though I probably mostly like rock, jazz and Gospel. I have a deep interest in all that concerns the brain, psychology and physical training, but I am a sponge, I love learning about stuff. Besides that, I am a nerd for TV series: could watch them all day long. I like reading, I usually read either essays or fantasy novels. I am also into writing, I mostly write poetry. :)
I basically like every kind of food (French, German, Spanish, Indian, Mexican..) but I am in love with Chinese and Japanese food!! And I love wine, red wine.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Basically anything that sounds good to my ears and my soul. :) (for example 30 seconds to Mars, Ludovico Einaudi, Passenger, Jamie Cullum, Frank Sinatra..)

Movies: The Lord of the Rings is probably my favorite. I like adventure, fantasy, romance, dramatic, and comedy movies. Not so much action and thriller movies, and not at all horror movies. lol Tv series: GoT, Outlander, Fringe, Manifest, Grey's Anatomy, House of Cards (and many more).

Books: 1984, Pride and Prejudice, The picture of Dorian Gray, Siddharta, Le Cronache, le Guerre e le Leggende del Mondo Emerso.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was an exchange student! I lived in the US for 6 months with a wonderful family. Consequently the second amazing thing, was coming back for my american best friend's wedding and be a bridesmaid for her :) + hiking unrestored and perilous parts of the Great Wall (the parts that can only be accessed through the woods 😎).

Teach, Learn, Share

I am an AFS (American Field Service) volunteer! I am really proud of this activity, 'cause I get to accompany young students (like I was when I left for the US) throughout their path towards the moment of departure. Plus, I get to interact with foreign students from all over the world coming to my town.

Besides that, I've come to the conclusion that people are a never-lasting source for learning. Learn about all kind of stuff, learn more about yourself and have amazing experiences, even when you get to be with them just a couple of hours.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If I have time, I'd love to show you around (although I still need to learn a lot about Milan ahah) and spend time with you as much as I can and my boyfriend as well :). We can also treat you with some nice home cooked dinners and a very playful dog, Grace!
