I am a sociable person who loves human and animal company :) I love learning about people and their culture and I think traveling is the best way to do that! I’m a grandma at heart: I love crocheting and gardening and I recently took up beekeeping! I grew up mostly in Italy, but I spent my high school years in the the US, in West Virginia, where my mother’s family is from. My father is South African, so I suppose that makes me a Third Cultured Kid (strangely when I found out this classification existed I felt like I belonged somewhere). I’m currently studying biomedical engineering, which I really love. My dream is to somehow incorporate my major with neuroscience research to improve diagnosis and treatment of mental illnesses. I love learning about things. I feel like there is so much to learn in this world and I’m always eager to listen to what people have to teach me. One part of my life I love is my family. We are a very international bunch and the one drawback to this is that we spend our travel time visiting each-other rather than seeing new places. I deeply appreciate that I way raised in a very free environment. Simple things that in many other families were unspoken rules, in my house don’t exist (This doesn’t mean I won’t respect yours!) I find this freedom soothing and if I ever host you, perhaps you’ll find the same! Random important info 1: I’m a vegetarian! Random important info 2: I’m very active and I don’t appreciate laziness!
