I am Francesca, 28 years old, I was born in a town called Ivrea, close to Turin, Piedmont. I suppose to be enterprising and independent. I graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Turin, I studied restoration of paintings, books and mural paintings but after the University my life changed direction and I became a waitress and than a bartender. I've been working and living in Aosta Valley for almost 3 years, here I learned a new job and also how to snowboard which is simply amazing!
I go back to my childhood home just when the working season is over, there still lives my family and a couple of old friends. When I am there I can relax and think about a new plan of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is something about connections. I like travelling on my own even thought I am a sociable person. Couchsurfing gives me the possibility to meet new people from different cultures and share opinions, food or just have a chat. I also like hosting people, I like giving hospitality, a bed and some free food to travelers because i think traveling is something very important that everyone should do, even thought he/she Hasn't much money to spend in hotels and restaurants around the world!

Interests

I love arts in general, I'm learning to play guitar and I can sing , I like reading and traveling. I really love dogs, I have a wonderful 2 years old Border Collie called Janis! I am good at cooking also because I think eating it's one of the pleasures of life! Lately I am practicing with juggling in my spare time. I would like to learn more languages, but at the moment I can speak a quite good english !
