I am currently in New Zealand on a working holiday visa 🌿

I am a student of Middle Eastern languages, cultures and societies at the university of Venice.
I like to learn about other countries and cultures and to overcome the stereotypes. I am interested in history, anthropology, languages, art.

About my traveling style:
I generally travel alone and by hitchhiking. When I travel I love to visit cities, historical places and beautiful places in nature where I can hike or swim and it's also amazing if I can find good parties 🔅I love to meet local people or other travelers and learn about different cultures and points of view on different topics.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's amazing how couch surfing gives people the possibility to travel safely without a lot of money, to connect with local people and families, learn about their culture and point of views on different topics and share yours with them, help foreigners that visit your city, and make friends and contacts all over the world.
I had so many amazing experiences with people from couch surfing, who treated me like a best friend or like a family member since the moment they met me.
I believe traveling is fundamental to break the stereotypes and the barriers between people of different countries and cultures and shouldn't be considered a privilege.
We have a lot to share and teach to each other.
