Hello people! I'm Cristina, I was born in Sicily but I've been living in the north of Italy since I was 10. Movies and music have always been my companions since I was a child throughout my adolescence, and they still are. They've been helping me smile all those times when life was hard and friends were few.
Photography, Travelling and Languages have always been my greatest passions. The main reason why I chose to study foreign languages both in high school and afterwards at the university is because I dream to find one day a job that allows me to travel. At the moment I'm more interested to consider travelling my job though, getting experiences and the awesomeness the world holds, instead of money.
And then, I still need to improve and improve my skills at languages, so that's a perfect excuse to travel!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Why staying in an impersonal hotel/hostel room when you can actually meet kind local people? Plus, it's the best way to get to know a culture or lifestyle different from yours

PS. I can't host for now, unfortunately..but I hope I'll be able to do it one day!

Interests

As I said, Photography, Travelling and Languages are the main ones. And writing, of course.
Then nature, art, literature, music, movies, reading, drawing, sports (watching..), concerts, etc...

Oh, I really love animals and pets ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a bit of Italian :D
I'll never stop learning new things. Especially what everyone needs most: self-confidence. And I'd like to improve my languages skills.
What's interesting to share is also memories and lessons from the past travels/trips.

I can wash dishes! Or help you doing whatever you want, I always do my best ;)
