Hi there, I'm Adriana, I grew up near Milan although my family is Apulian! I like travelling a lot and I'm always very curious about other travellers' stories and mindset. I speak english and french quite well since I work as a scientist in France, but I'm not fluent in German anymore, because it has been a while I don't practice it.
Currently I live in Brest, Bretagne in an apartment in the city centre.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's not the first time I meet Couchsurfing and I never forgot the site and the opportunity. Now I live alone in my flat, so I can start hosting people myself.
Because of my job, I'm used to know people from everywhere around the world, but sometimes we don't have much time to share stories and to discuss about things other than science. Nonetheless, I believe travellers of any kind will always have something interesting to say. I like to respectfully confront the others on a wide range of themes, like everything that crosses their mind in order to widen my perspective.
I would like to use Couchsurfing to visit new places and possibly meet people that might become good friends too!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trying to become a researcher hahah

Teach, Learn, Share

I recently approached Yoga and I'd like to learn more about it

I once used to play the piano and sing, and I'd like someone to teach me to play another instrument or simply make music together (miss that a lot)

I could share my scientific knowledge even though I'm not sure you could be interested

I'd love to meet some artists and share our works and inspirations

What I Can Share with Hosts

Depending on how much busy I am, I'll probably offer you only the chance to sleep in my house or even my company, at least in the evening. I'd love to share meals, some good beers or wine glasses, stories and discussions.

Here in Brittany the weather can be hostile, but there are many cool nature-linked activities you can do and cool places to go. I'll probably get a car soon, so I'll might be able to show you around.
