I was born and raised in Lecce, in the south-east of Italy. The sea had a great affection in my character. I left my home town 4 years ago for studying in Turin, in the north-west of Italy, surrounded by mountains and hills. I'm a computer engineering student and now I'm on my erasmus in Grenoble, France. Yes, maybe you're already picturing me as a nerdy, annoying girl and I may be sometimes. But beyond studying, I consider myself an easy going girl. I like arts and architecture, something that makes me spend most of my scholarship in travels around Europe. I also like people and the differencies in their way of speaking, understanding and living and this is what I try to do in my travels: to live places rather than visit them.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
I've been on the westernmost point of mainland Europe. I've been speaking 3 languages at the same time not knowing which one I was actually speaking. I saw my parents crying for me because they were proud of me as a woman.

What I Can Share With Hosts
My curiosity, my constant flow of questions and doubts. I am genuinely inquisitive and rational at the same time. My strange laughter. My knowledge about Italy, a really "strange country". I am also good at cooking, sometimes.
