Ciao! I’m Lisa, Italian-Japanese, currently in Brussels 🇧🇪 where I have been living for the past 8 months, taking a break from University (I came for an internship after I graduated from my Bachelor in Political Sciences, International Relations, Human Rights, then stayed to see some sun ☀️ coming out and enjoy the better season).

I am very spontaneous, i love solo traveling, I appreciate small things, great food and dancing. I like to learn from new people and their life experiences, and I love talking to them, as I am very outgoing (although I also like to respect their privacy and boundaries).
I appreciate people who are respectful and who doesn’t really take advantage of others.
I have travelled a lot, and I was raised in the countryside in the north-east of Italy, while I also spent most of my summer holidays at Nagano, in Japan.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Places are made of people, that is why I believe that connecting with new people is necessary, and getting in their personal spaces are a privilege !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stepping out of my home country and deciding to live in The United States 🇺🇸at 19 years old is what I am mainly proud of. I was an Au Pair for 1 year and 7 months, as I felt the need to flourish as a human and to experience a different reality.
I am also proud for putting myself out there and focus on my career and being ambitious.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My life experiences, long conversations regarding human rights issues and gender equality, Italian food !!
