Hi I am Chiara,
a friendly girl from Italy that loves to travel and experiment new cultures and way of living. I have been in the US, Europe, Africa and Asia. I believe that every travel has something to teach, something that can make us better persons and better citizens of the world.

I grew up in Bergamo and I studied for my bachelor in Milan, in Paris for my Master in international business. After working 6 months in Amsterdam, I am moving to Paris to start a new exciting internship.

I like to learn from others, to cook delicious meals and desserts, and I love to discover new places simply walking around.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I am going to live in Paris, but while looking for an apartment where to live in, I need a short term accomodation and possibly people to become friend with.

Interests

Cooking - especially cookies and cakes, but i am italian, there are a lot of dishes I can make and they taste better if shared
Walking - I put my sneakers on and I look for hidden amazing places. Sometimes in this way I find amazing streets and shops where I like to bring my friends)
Dancing - I did ballet for 13 years. I still love to dancing, and I like to go in different kind of clubs to enjoy different styles of music

Music, Movies, and Books

I don’t want to sound superficial, but I like commercial music that you can hear on the radio or in most clubs. It gives me a lot of energy and sometimes the lyrics make me think. From my last travel in Amsterdam I discovered techno music, and this fascinates me a lot because i find it a very introspective music.

I like comedy movies; the ones that make me laugh and better if they have a happy ending.

I do not read a lot, but I like historical books, romances and motivational stories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 16 years old I took a plane for the US and there I lived for one year with a family I did not know, a school completely different from mine and friends talking only in English that i did not know at the time.
It was one of the strongest experience of my life and it made me grow up a lot and understand which person i want to be.

Teach, Learn, Share

Whenever I meet an interesting person, i find the time to listen to him/her. There are a lot of people around us with incredible stories that can entertain us, or most importantly they can make us think and teach us how to make our life better.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My Italian culture, which is very sunny and based on sharing of emotions and moments.

The Italian cuisine - I always find more fun to prepare a meal for a group of people and it is more interesting if these are not Italian, so that I can make them try the real traditional food

Last but not least, I will share my enthusiasm which characterise me. I am human so I have good and bad moments as everyone, but i push myself to be grateful and share happiness with those around me.
