Hi, I'm Alessandra! Last year I've finished school in Italy and after a month of interrailing during the summer I've decided to take a gap year and travel around Europe, to discover more about the culture, the history and the traditions of the Europeans countries; I want to make a lot of new experiences, learning new languages, trying new food and also improving my English skills. I love to learn new things that open my mind every time more and make me better appreciate life!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that Couchsurfing it’s one of the best ways to travel: you can meet a lot of people and learn so much from them and about their culture!

Interests

I love reading since I was five and I enjoy to study literature, for this reason I will study modern literature at the University; I'm also interested in photography and watching good movies and I love nature and hiking, every summer I like to go hiking on the Alps and enjoying such beautiful landscapes!
