I grew up in Italy, but I have spent quite a bit of time in other countries while studying, working and traveling. I studied in Spain, lived in Riga for two years and now I have been in Germany for the past 3 years, first in Hannover and now in Berlin.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have always liked traveling and speak different languages. I am quite new to CS, but I have had very positive experiences in Asia while travelling across Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam.

Interests

Traveling, history, foreign languages and cultures and obviously food! I love experimenting with all kinds of cuisines. I enjoy reading a lot, especially historical novels and investigative journalism books.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:

Kings of Leon, Yann Tiersen, Beirut, Paolo Nutini and Passenger.

Movies:

Often I prefer series and documentaries to movies but..off the top of my head I can say that Chocolat and Drive are among my favourites.

Books:

Definitely the Winds of War, War and Memory and To Kill a Mockingbird. I also adore the whole Montalbano series by Camilleri. I read a lot from Noam Chomsky and Cynthia Enloe.
