Hi there! I am Giulia, travel and food lover, still looking for a spiritual path to take, amazed by little things, nature and meeting new people!

My philosophy : I believe in the kindness of strangers; if you do something good, something good is gonna happen to you.

I am always ready to talk and discuss (friendly of course) about topic such as Environment (I am firmly doing my best to aknowledge people about what is seriously happening around us), philosophy, history, geography and, why not, politics (as I am an international politics student). I consider myself an open-mind person and really easy going. Some people I met and I lived with used to call me "sunshine", because of my perpetual smile, no matter what!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing because, after a life spent here and there but only staying in some hotels, I understood that it will never be the way to get to know the locals and the culture that is surrounding you. I want first to know people, people that can tell me stories about their villages/cities/country, and after that looking at the places around me through their eyes.

Interests

I am interested in Traveling, Learning new languages, reading, politics&news from all over the world, exploring different cultures and learning new things (such as recipes, how to repair a bike, how to create some handscrafts...)

Teach, Learn, Share

I am able to speak fluently italian and English (and I can try my best to teach you one of these languages); I am currently learning French but I am always into new languages; I can cook quite well (delicious italian dishes of course) and I want to learn new recipies.
