I live in a tiny pretty village in Southern Italy and I'm currently working as a free-lance translator, copy-editor, content writer, etc., after taking my Master's Degree in Literary Translation in July. I translate from English to Italian, and vice versa sometimes. I'm really happy about my job, whenever I'll have the chance I wish to live in a different place in Europe every month or so.

I love hiking, especially thru-hiking, long distance, and orienting with map and compass while on the mountain. Not a climber though! I love talking, a lot. A LOT!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I don't really like conventional travelling, I'd much rather meet people this way. And I socialise really easily and quickly, so it's the perfect solution for me!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Freezing almost to death in a sleeping bag on a beach in Nice
Climbing the peak of the Matese massif (2050m), on a day with perfect visibility, and seeing both Tyrrhenian and Adriatic sea from up there.
Finally getting to the top of Mount Taburnus (1400m) after 5 hours of struggling through forests and avoiding boars, and seeing Ischia from up there.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Lots of talking about anything, a laugh or two, a part of my walk.
