Ivana Luppi

She is a really good person!! If you like to go and have fun, she is the right person to call!! She will introduce to the other cser that are great. Milano's community is really nice, and she is one of the reasons!!!\
see u in paris!!

I've had a chance to know better Ivana. She's interesting: polite, available to friendship but also full of energy!
I highly suggest to all foreign people that would like some information about Milan or are seeking a couch.
Atè mais amiga!

She is so creative & lovely & talkative and a great travel mate - just thinking of the Genova trip :-) and she supports well if I wake her up early morning woth a phone call, searching for a black cat or other strange requests..and I love to see her on her stylish BICI with the long skirt! don't ever change please!

Ivy and her flat mates where great hosts. They gave me a very comfy place to sleep and were very charming. Ivy even took the time to have breakfast with me every day, gave me good advices for sight seeing and even helped me with my train reservations. They took me to a CS meeting and introduced me to lots of new friends. I had a great time with them! And I love my new nick name :D
Lola is missing you already Ivy! Hope to see you soon!

She lent "bici" to go to the meeting, very nice, she gave the idea to have a bath in the street fountain in Milano during the rainstorm so thanks to her i have a great souvenir over there!

We met in CS beach party in Rome. We don't have many time to speak but the Ivana's smile it's contagious and explane more about her sunny caracter. I hope to see you soon in Milano dear Ivana!

Ivana is super. We had a lunch together with some friends (my Bro, Fede, Demetrio, Caia) and she was absolutely perfect. Good talker, good listener, very relaxed.. She makes you feel very confortable. Then we went to a party and it has been fun again. Ivana, I promise that I will cook something special next time (like salame and pecorino for example :)). See you soon, maybe in Milan?

sometimes you have guests in your house and you simply don't think they are guests but old friends sleeping on your couch. Ivana is the kind of person that gives you this impression.. polite and ready to laugh, curious, smiling, dancer, eater (uh...se magna...). I think she could be a perfect "friend for travel" ;-) We'll meet again and again!

Ivana stayed with us for 2 days during the "Festival Off", we spent a very nice time with her. She made the best "Spaghetti Bolognaise" we ever eat in our life, we had chat about everything and nothing . She's easygoing and fun ... so we realy enjoyed her staying :D You're welcome back here when you want Ivana ;)
(I just noticed how we suck at leaving comments, sorry ;) )

Wow! How to explain? Ivana's the big sister I've never had... & she's the best I could have!!! Thank you so much for everything you've made for me in Italy (from the simple chats to this "damned night" when you rescued me! I won't forget what you did!.. and you didn't..!!). Hope to see you as soon as possible! (but you know I'll be back soon in Milan!!!) Ciao ciao!!

We shared a cold dancing july night ... a tango show in a festival ... in the wind with a dirty blanket, pulls, and socks ... We looked like penguins in a snow storm at the end of the show !
Go to see Ivana in Milano, she's actually involved on CS and a really nice, friendly and open-minded person ... I promess to come in Milano when the duomo will be restored !!! let me know Ivana !

She lend me 10 Euros, i've make this reference for remember to give them back :-)

I stayed with Ivanna and her roommates in their lovely Milanese flat. They made my stay in Milan much more fun, interesting and comfortable. If I didn't know she was Italian I would have mistaken her for French, which I guess I am not the only one who has. She is very good at finding useful things- while I was there we found some balcony furniture- and I'm sure she will help you if you need something. She says she is lazy, but I think she was very fun and laid-back!

..She is very open-minded girl ! Very funny and crazy..and she prefers cement, smog and cars instead of green, nature, lakes...:) LOVELY !!!

Ivana... and Ivan.. and Valerie!
3 really funny and loving people living under the same roof!
Didn get to spend much time with Ivana but she was really trusting and funny.. and she gave me a fright by hiding behind the door during the blackout!
get Well soon!

Superfunny girl, so rare in my city. :)

IVANA! The always laughing and smiling girl! Always the good word, speaks French with a non Italian accent (kind of German one instead :-D), that's fun!! And she's one of the rare female specimen who deals with IT stuffs. Since 2 months that we met, I really feel good with her, we've been doing several aperitives, concerts, etc together, it was always cool! I really recommend you to surf/let surf her/your couch!!! Normally, we meet tomorrow, so this reference to say that normally tomorrow I'll take time to repair my bike. I was thinking to go around 9! Ciao à domani ;-)

Ivana is that kind of girl that you couldn't never hate, she's very kind and polite and she always want to share her experiences with the others. She really like to stay with other people, she has lot of cool idea and she can cook you delicious rice dishes! =) I'm sure that we'll really have fun together, we just began last weekend!

Ivana hosted me for a concert and was very patient to wait very late in the evenining until its end!
She is positive, always smiling and very friendly. In spite of our different temperament and age, I guess we believe in a similar attitude to human beings, based on mutual respect and care. That's why it was a pleasure to have a peaceful conversation with her in front of a tea. Thanks again! HC-punk forever!

I meeting Ivana, in a couch meet, cause I'm stay try to find some place for live.And she told me many things about Milano.We have a little time together,but
I think she's a very special person.

She is a really nice and smart person!with the time i'm sure we will know better each other!!and i know that if i will wrong something on CS you will correct me!eheheh!!

Too bad, we didn't have any more time to talk - but playing frisbee in the middle of the night at a park and playground in Milano was fun! And: shit happens... ;)

Ivana has a smile that lights up a room. She is joyous, kind and friendly, not to mention fashionable! I'd like to talk to her more and hear about what her life in Milano is like.

This girl is fantastic, so much fun, so much energy, and one of those rare people who can entirely be themselves...it was great to meet her and her awesome housemates in Milano!

Ivana is a brilliant host! We had such a fantastic time staying with her, and discovering the beautiful Milan and surrounding towns.

Together we've all done some site-seeing and protest-parade watching, eaten gelato, enjoyed a delicious dinner cooked by Ivana (I'm jealous of your natural cooking skills, hehe...), had a Milan-style aperitivo including lots of great free food, visited Bergamo and Trezzo before going to a free music festival in the middle of nowhere, ate delicious pizza from her local pizzeria (3,50€ for a huge pizza!), walked along the canal, ate yummy Milanese risotto, discovered the joys of tea (they have a very large collection of teas), and had long relaxed breakfasts.

Thanks a lot Ivana. :-D You're awesome, and so is your city. Come visit us in Nice.

P.S. Javiér is still so proud of that band t-shirt.

Ivana was a wonderful host! Thanks to her, we were able for 3 days to experience the Milanese way of life, or more exactly, the Ivana's way of life, which includes great aperitivos, free concerts & tea tasting :-)
PS. Not only Ivana's very kind, very friendly, but she's also a great cook! Thanks a lot for everything, Ivana!

Updating, updating, more soon...

Meet Ivana in some meetings in Milano. I feel good with her even we didn't spoke so much till now but, i know, there will be new meetings where we can do it! And also, maybe, some photos with the "Gloves"?? ;-))

Ivana! She is great italian girl! Milano Group made an invasion in Barcelona for a few days, an she was in the group! Was just great, she is so nice, kind... and quite and crazy at the same time :D ! We had dinner, BBQ, party,... and a concert that she really enjoyed! Hope the CD is good! and take care with your feet :P Ci vediamo a Milano!!

UPDATE:

Well...

- interesting in what she says
- interested in what you say
- smart in her thoutghts

...well... just a little of her positive aspects to say "if you've got an chance to meet her - that would be a great occasion!" ;-)


Update: she hosted my for a concert... she was entusiast to come there with me, even if it's completely different from the music she use to listen... it'ìs great to be so open - mided!

...one more thing to the list i wrote before: add nice and creative flatmates!

we had a chat during free hugs. I hope yr neck is ok right noW!

Met Ivana at the CS BBQ. Loved her colorful gloves and colorful personality.

Ivana is a very kind, funny and sensitive girl. It is very nice to meet her around or in her flat, together with the most lovely flatmates in the world. And I'm glad to have the possibility now to know her more, not just through CS. The "tisana time" is already a must!;)
See you very soon Ivana!:)

We met at some CS meetings, she's a funny person and has a very original thing : a GPS (Global Positioning System) in her mind! :-P

What can I say of Ivana and Valeria? They have been like an angel come from the sky. Ivana is my flatmate, always very nicely with me; affectionate, calm, agreeable. She always laughs with my jokes and dumbs. Ivana has created the "herbal tea moment" and we sit down in our living room in the evening and we chat about the day. It's a very relaxing moment. After so much time living together I can say we have become a small family. Everyone different, everyone equal.

Update '08
Ivana is just the best dancer you can find in milano, I never enjoyed a Partynight @ RollingStone that much like the one last weekend, dancing with Ivana to the best Rock&Indi-Music till early in the morning!
You Rock!

-----------------------------------

After months of really nice and funny meetings in Milano we finally joined an Invasion together. 5 sunny days full of playing and relaxing at the beach, tapas, Calçots and definitely a lot of fun and party in BCN. The Invasion was so great, from the meeting at the airport till the goodbye. And not to forget, thumps up for her bcn hairstyle!
Even after a little accident she did not lose her smile, really amazing!
Really, Ivana is one of the sweetest and open-minded girls I met in Milano, it is always a pleasure to speak with her and meet her for a beer @ fridas!

I have shared a lot of experiences with her and now we are cs-flatmates!
Upd: I feel I know Ivana quite good after some months living together.
We've quite different personalities, but we've also many similar/complementary aspects. We've spent so many hilarous moments together as she can be very very funny! Sometimes she could seem rude( as very fist impression), but actually she's very sincere and direct and this is something I've learned to appreciate very much in Ivana.
But the feature I like the most in Ivana is the particular caring attitude she shows me when I'm feeling sad or needing help. Some night chats, a relaxing infusion and her risotto have cheered me up a lot of times:) I'm glad we're flatmates and friends!

Thanks to the Italian invasion of Barcelona I had the chance to meet her, a honest and a very warm girl. The following week I had already decided to going to Milan and she hosted me openly. We work in the same area, have similar music tastes, enjoyed a concert together, talked quite a lot about life and general and made a long lists of things to do and to see when she comes back to Barcelona... which I'm really looking forward to, also to thank her for being such a great host!

I had met her before but really had the chance to get to know her in Barcelona. She's so interesting and well traveled and has a whole lot of stories to tell, but she's also very helpful and kind. And has excellent taste in music :-) See you soon and thanx for your help!

I met Ivana one year ago, but I had the chance to experience her cheerful personality only recently, 'cause I haven't met her for a long time. She's incredibly funny and spontaneous, sociable and talkative. We had fun taking "artistic" pictures with our beautiful hats! We've definetely to see more often!

It was my luck to meet Ivana! She is good-looking, wonderful, kind and smart girl. She is very open and friendly. She is real Friend. Even more, she was a guide and protector. So many difficulties and obstacles were overcome with her help and support. Her care let me forget about problems and just have a wonderful time, be ready to meet Milano and its people  We spent incredible time with Ivana, her friends, guest and family  With Ivana and her guest Miku from Finland, we were a small friendly company. We spent time with night walks and night talks. We eat many picas and pasta made by Ivana. We had so many tasty teas during serious discussions and funny jokes. It was a real pleasure to share this time with so great people! I really hope, in future I will have a chance to visit Milano and meet Ivana again 

Ivana is a perfect guide. She knows every street in Milan. If you are with her it is impossible to lost! She is a very nice person and she presents bunchs of flowers :)

we met through HC, ivana had to catch one of the first busses to the airport. so we spent this "waitingtime", together with others. though it was hard to find a café that was open all night, we had a lot of fun, waiting got another meaning now ! i highly trust ivana, i am so happy to find her back in CS

Ivana was Valerias roommate and they hosted us in Milan . We really had a great time with both of them. Eventhough we only spend a little time with Ivana as she was already out travelling on her own in Spain... She left a really positive impression. She is a really nice and helpful person and she is always smiling. We had a long talk about her Indian travel adventures . Cheers.Wish you all the best in this New Year

We stayed at Ivana's place in Miland and we had a really interesting time there talking with her... we had fun reading mafalda and her smile is unforgetable =P...

Ivana is a great girl to have as a guest. She's openminded, curious and easy going, the perfect person to hang out with. I'll do my best to keep my promise and visit Ivana in Milano in the near future. I already look forward to it!

Very friendly and openmind person !!! A great traveller !!!

We met at many meeting and parties at the CS house, Ivana is really nice and easygoing. But even if she seem a quiet girl, don't trust her! She's a crazy night-party girl!! :D

Ivana is an artistical, funloving music-addict > excellent to spend the cold early morning hours waiting a bus like you know her allready a few years :-)

Ivana came up to me in a crowd of people and said, "Maria?" I was so surprised! It was so nice of her to make the effort to look for me that day and it's amazing that she recognized me! We didn't talk long because I had to catch my train back home but it was such a nice experience meeting her.

Ivana, it's true, you're like me everytime laughing!!hihihi! I hope we 'll have some others tipical italian time!

We ate together, we laughed together, we watched films together and we partied together. For more we did not have time on this one day in Milano! But it was a nice day, wasn't it! Hope to see you again Ivana!

Very nice! too bad I didnt get to surf at her place, but we met up for drinks and wandered around the quiet Milan on Sunday! haa.it was a great chat and had a great time! Hope we can meet again!!!

When I arrived at Milan she made that she felt to me like at home.A part of Italian, safe that I learn many things of this great person.

Even if we went in a not so exciting presentation of a book I enjoy her company, especially after that presentation when we had a very intense chatting aperitif…are u now attending a Japanese language course? :P

Simon and I came in to milano with only a day notice I think and these girls put us up and gave us a nice meal of pasta. just what we needed after riding from Torino.

we talked about food and mountians and got to learn about a few places in Italy we unfortunatly couldn't make it to.
we had a Very good Stay

Ivana and her roomates graciously took tim and I in when they both had to work early the next day.

We shared a great meal and then stayed up late drinking tea and busting out the maps, where Ivana totally hooked us up by showing ups bike paths out of town and to the lakes north of town (thanks, btw/!)

Unfortunately we were only in town for a night and didnt get to spend more time, but lovely hosts and a great experience nonetheless!

its really cool to live with my ladys in milano...Ivana is a very nice person,cute and know what she wants(sometimes):)

Ivana is a really really great person! I met her now already a couple of times at many cs meetings in milano and always enjoyed her company very much! I am also her official supplier of sweaters/jackets on chilly Milano nights :-)

We spent thousands lunches together..I'm sad we don't live anymore in the same country. Although this can't avoid we to meet anyway. She came to Barcelona a couple of months ago, I think she still remembers the drink we had together...

Ivana is a beautiful person. Warm, generous and sincere. Since I've been living in Milan, she has grown to become one of my favourite friends to spend time with.

She is fun, very active cs milan member! We travelled to mountains once and she was my personal "tom tom go", while i was driving my car.

She is really nice and open, she makes my time in Milano...GREAT! WONDERFUL!
We enjoy with lots of couchsurfers in several meetings!SE VAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

Very funny the day I knew her…I help her running in centre of Milan behind a guy just trying to ask a phone number…then we had nice time listening to the ‘concert’ of ambassador of Spain Hector
I really liked joking with her

My first reference :)) THANK YOU

Ivana is a really spontaneous and open minded girl... to improve our acquaintance we've discovered the 'Amarone's grappa' :)) so good ...mhmmm

She hosted me in Milan in short notice. I stayed with her two nights and both nights we went out with her friends in cool places in Milan and had a good time.

I liked her from the first moment she was in my home. I think it's a nice and funny girl!

I had a great time in Milano. Dinner was already prepared as i arrived ;-) Then we went out and met some other CS Members for drinks. Unfortunately i had to catch my train the next morning very early. Thanks for hosting on such short notice.

Ivana is a great person who can enjoy life and travelling. she has amazing travelling experiences that one day I hope I'll do as well.

Very sweet personality! Thanks for the insights about Italy...:)) Would love to meet again! PLease come visit anytime!

I met Ivana months ago at a picnic in Milan. I had such great talks that it is a shame I only have time to write this reference now. (01-08-2007)

Ivana, girl with the bike, I look forward to meet again whenever, where ever and then continue where we stopped during that picnic :)

She is such an active girl and has so many plans. Ivana is very caring and nice. Uh, and not to forget the colorful gloves that are always with her, ready to be taken on a picture at any time and any place!!

We met in Milano where I had my very first CS experience and Ivana was very sunny girl :-) The second day she didn't have time to go out with us but she came anyway, just for a while to bring me the delicious cakes I wanted to take home!!!Thanx and hope to see you in Vienna!

Hey Ivana, it was nice to meet you at the BBQ: good chat and good company. Even if you didn't take any gloves-picture..

I met Ivana in Zurich and we had a great time.I had a good impression about her from the first minute especially when she showed me her colourful gloves.She is always ready to have fun so i really hope that i see her again soon somewhere :D

Funny and expansive (expensive too) girl, don't miss the opportunity to meet her, if you are in Milan! She is one of the two only person that see the re-born of Saint Demetrio (famous for a miracle on her: make change her idea and come to Zurich BBQ Camp)

I met Ivana at a Pic-nic in Milan and soon realized she's a very kind girl . Then I had the pleasure to be hosted together in Zurich and got to know her better realizing that my first impression was right!She even helped me when I had a problem in the middle of a party.thank you so much! :D

Ivana is just so much fun to hang out with and she's very sweet! We had such an awesome time dancing and laughing and eating at all hours of the night together haha! I hope I see her again soon, or maybe she will come and visit me in San Diego!

Ciao bella!!!

Ivana is a very funny and nice girl. She love to talk about everything.
We travelled togheter to Zurich fest and we get crazy taking pictures with her gloves...

It was cool to meet her, had really a great night in Zurich. Hope to meet you once more. Good time!!!

We met in a hot Milanese day!!!
She has truly CS spirit!!! She was in a rush but she came to meet me the same!
i enjoy her company a lot and hope to meet her soon!!!
Hugs Ivy see you soooooon!!!
Ju

I met Ivana in Bologna at an inter-rail.it get-together... She is a really sweet and kind girl, we got on well together right from the beginning (we survived through the market without buying anything, we played ping pong together and we danced the night through!). She is very easy to talk to and... well... I can't wait to see her soon in Turin!

Ivana is a very surprising couchie from Milano, really friendly and specially fond of speaking english. El italiano et el espagnolo é pio bello!! We have met two times, once in Milano and other in Barcelona and we had some fun.

there is nothing that make me happy as free hugs, thx for come to the festival, hope to se you and Valeria very soon. have fun. keep smiling

Ahi...ahi...ahi...i miss your gloves lovely Ivy.
So sorry for your "not really good" backhometrip.
She's great! Man! Be careful, she could capture you with her gloves.....ejejejej
Well, i just prefer spend all the time with her than work...so...leave you this reference is a big pleasure....and sorry if my brain now (i never had one?) is just thinking to otherthings.....
Edaje!

Ivana showed up at the nice picknick in Milano Italy, The weather was nice and so was she as the sunshine was even visible when looking at her face.
Meeting people like her are already enough reason for a visit to Italy and I can give a good-time waranty.
See you again somewhere. Maybe in Milano or perhaps around an other place.

Hey! Ivana is a special girl. She is honest, nice, really trustable and sensitive. and the time together with her is always a very good time!

Ivana is always enthusiastic and she has plenty of projects in her mind. We met in Brussels, in Milano and finally in India. But for sure, I'll see her again ... somewhere in the world.

I met Ivys just once, but she is very funny and kind. Hope to see her soon!
