Hii my name is Elisabetta, but everyone calls me Betta

After graduating last year, i decided to take some time off to travel, connect with people and go on adventures!!
so far I've been through lots of life changing experiences that helped me expand so much, find my purpose and my authenticity.

I am super curious about anything, always happy to listen and learn!! I always try to stay open minded, flexible and empathetic. I am really into questioning myself, my perspective, beliefs, being aware of my ego and expanding my vision.

I love taking care of people (especially by cooking something for them or do something kind for them), bringing my positive energy and genuine kindness.
I love spending time outdoor, doing creative things (pottery, art), cooking, going to art galleries, flea markets, exploring cities until i am exhausted, listening to people, learning languages, trying new foods (usually vegan), sitting in a cafè reading, journaling and watching people.

i just came back from volunteering on an eco project in portugal, right now i feel super high on positive energy!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

to connect with people, share ideas, knowledge, stories, everyday life with them, learn more about different cultures, see different ways of living, spread kindness and broaden my perspective

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: pretty much anything expect for reggaeton music. i love jazz, indie, electronic, techno, pop, rock, classical, lofi (when i study) and I'm always on the outlook for new inspiration :)
I never played an instrument, but right now i feel like i would like to learn to play the ukulele or the guitar

some of my favorite books are Stoner by John Williams, A thousand splendid suns by Khaled Hosseini, Siddharta, Mornings in Jenin, the alchemist

i don’t watch many movies but when i do usually watch authentic movies, i’m not that interested anymore in hollywood movies
