Italian girl based in London. I'm currently doing a PhD on batteries for automotive applications, my full time hobby... in my spare time I love doing sports, cooking for my friends and plan new trips.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me travel is about experiencing life in the places I visit, I consider this much more important than the actual sightseeing.
I prefer to go on long trips and work/volunteer, so that I can connect with the local communities. Unfortunately I cannot always spend months abroad, so I use Couchsurfing to still have a taste of what life is like in the places I visit.

Couchsurfing is a way to explore places and lifestyles, sharing experiences and making new friends.

I have worked as horse trainer for a few years and performed in equestrian shows all over Italy and Europe.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am quite good at cooking and baking in general (Italian cuisine mainly), so I could teach you some of my secrets.

I'd share a nice chat about life, adventures, travels. I love exchanging ideas about books, films and music.
