Hi everybody!! I’m Giovanna, I’m Italian but I’m currently living in Portugal with my boyfriend. I come from a little village in the South of Italy.
I’m a family doctor so if you have a sore throat you can write me (joking XD).
I decided to be a doctor because I love helping people and I try my best to keep the suffering away from their lives.
I like to listen and ask questions, I’m a very curious person, but I also enjoy talking!
I think that every human being is a treasure and has lots to teach, if you have the patience and will of listening.
I’m a very healthy person: I like to wake up early, do sports, eat vegetables... Ah, and I also don’t drink, don’t smoke and don’t use drugs ( but I’m not boring I swear!)
I have a passion for languages: I speak Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, English and French; I’m trying to learn German but I honestly suck with this language :P

I try to live a minimalist life: I hate to buy useless stuff and I never keep an object just because it reminds me of something... Material stuff have no importance for me at all.
The only think that I collect are plants! I love to be surrounded by nature and my house is slowly becoming an urban jungle and I love it. <3

I like to meditate and practice yoga, I try to enjoy the present and not be bothered by the regrets of the past or the fierce of the future.

I love traveling but during university I didn’t have much time to do it. I have travelled a lot around Europe and this is my first time in Thailand.
When I travel I try to avoid touristic places, I prefer to explore nature but I also like to visit museums cause I’m very fascinated by art.
I enjoy spending lot of time in the same place, for me traveling means to try to deeply know a different culture: the food, the music, the traditions... I hate to change city every couple of days just to show to others that I have travelled a lot and that I have an interesting life.
I lived two years in Spain and one year in Portugal.

I love to travel by foot: I’m a fan of “slow tourism” and I think that only when I walk from a place to another I can enjoy every single step of the journey (and it’s also a very healthy and eco friendly way of traveling )

PS: I’m not looking for dates, (I’ve already got a wonderful boyfriend) just looking for people to share my trips with :)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I think that the concept of Couch Surfing is brilliant.
Traveling with locals is the best way to really know a place and I'm traveling solo so through CS I can easily find friends and not be by myself all the time!

兴趣

I love traveling but untill now I didn't have the time and money to do a long distance trip, I chose to go to Thailand because I think it's quite a safe place to start traveling solo.
I love nature and non touristic places, I really enjoy watching sunsets.
I like reading books more than watching TV series (but sometimes I get addicted to a TV series and spend 8 hours in front of the computer to finish it as soon as s possible and go back to real life again).
I love to study! History and Philosophy are my favourite subjects and I always try to read books with an historical background.

I practice ( or try to practice) mindfulness, I do yoga at home and go to the gym everyday.
I love photography and bought a Camera but I think I'm not talented...
Since I was little I always went to dance classes and I have tried many styles of dance but my favourite are contemporary dance and forró ( brazilian dance), I would like to learn Lindy hop ^^

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I have done the “fisherman’s trail” : 7 days walking from a village to another on the west coast of Alentejo in Portugal watching the most amazing sunsets of my life and with nothing but the ocean at my side.

教，学，和分享

I always like to learn new things, in particular I like to practice and improve the languages I know.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I can teach Italian and Spanish, how to cook a perfect pasta, how to dance salsa or forró.
I can treat you if you are sick!! XD
