I'm Chiara, I was born in Rome and I'm 25 years old.
I studied Linguistic Mediation at Sapienza University in Rome, especially french and spanish, for three years and I gave it up to follow my passion: pastry and baking!

Meanwhile, I think it is good to take some times breaks from the studies and job, for example to do an experience like aupair, which I did it in 2015 in England for 7 months.
I live with my numerous family: two brothers, two sisters and my little nephew. I'm crazy about sweets and pastries but I also really like healthy food!

In addition to cooking, I love music and cinema and in my spare time I love climbing, camping with my friends, taking photographs and I am really attracted by anything dealing with nature, phytotherapy and heal with plants. I also really enjoy to create by myself natural products for me and for home. I am in a strong and trustful relationship with my boyfriend since 9 years, we spend a lot of time together travelling and cultivating our passions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I think it is a great way to improve your cultural knowledge and a new language. It could be something unforgettable, open-minded and really useful for your future. In my past aupair experience I managed to get a self-awareness and a confidence really strong and, meeting and confronting myself with new people everyday, I learned how beautiful and enriching is diversity and to know other people stories.

I can't host anyone at the moment because I don't have my own house and I live in a numerous family, but it would be great just to have a beer or take a walk in Rome!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach my own language and if you like some cooking, since I am attending a professional pastry chef course in Rome! I'm really interested in every kind of culture, especially in latin-american culture, japanese culture, african culture and british culture.
