Hello! I am from Italy, 27 years old, and I lived in Berlin for 3 years, having left the city last March to go back home in Italy. Now I am planning to come back in May and see if the city can be for me or not :)
I am very social and friendly, I love many things but I will sum up the main ones in a short list:
-language learning
-bike (especially on nice cycle paths across the city)
-scuba diving (I am just a beginner) and snorkeling
-sport (gym and jogging)
-nature: I love being outdoor, mountain or sea, wherever it may be
-underwater photography( just used GoPro)
-healthy lifestyle with a mostly plant based diet

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to meet new people and expand my network in Berlin! I have been working in marketing in a Berlin company that offer remote working and this, combined with the grey and cold German winters, kind of pushed me to go out less and hence socialize less. I thought that starting with couchsurfing and getting to know its open-minded community is the best way to do my comeback in the city!:D

Interests

I really like learning new languages and travelling. Ich kann auch Deutsch sprechen!
I enjoy spending time outdoor, especially in the sunny season, and I love animals.
