Hello everyone,
my name is Francesca and I am southern Italian but I’ve been living in Germany for 8 years. I am currently pursuing a Master’s in Human Rights Studies in Politics and Society and wish to build a career in research and journalism.
I love traveling, writing, analog photography, coffee (dates with my people) and the sea/ocean 🪸
Some passions of mine are art, (ethical) philosophy and politics. I am very appreciative of constructive debates and meaningful conversations, and do not enjoy gossip-mongering. I consider myself an open-minded, optimistic and easy-going person, quite philanthropic in spirit. When I travel, I do so consciously and in the less touristy way possible, as I know I can learn much more this way :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I can connect with many interesting people while traveling and get to know places from a different and more local perspective!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: RnB, (neo-) soul, (old school/latin) hip-hop, electro, funk and neo-psychedelic, salsa, Italian song-writing.
Movies : I love quite a lot of movies but the ones that mostly catch my attention are dramas, dark-comedy-action and historical movies, especially if they’re indie. Lately, I am getting always more interested in non-Eurocentric movies.
Books: The catcher in the rye, Ghana must go, the alchemist, to kill a mockingbird, we should all be feminists, oceano mare, and the mountains echoed, the stranger, waiting for Godot, cosmicomics.
