Quirky gal from the Mediterranean!

I love meeting new people, having new experiences, and trying new foods. I plan on going to med school in a year. I’m super excited to host and laugh it up with people from all over the world.

I live in a spacious apartment in the city, a 10 minute walk from the subway. I also utilise public transportation and am able to walk anywhere in the city within around 30 minutes.

The beautiful Mount Etna is a pretty big deal around here, you can hike, run or mountain bike there; a pretty wonderful experience. Let alone the sea! You can easily rent a car and visit all the cute little towns in Sicily, the beaches are amazing and the people are delightful.

I live with my mom - as well my little brother, he’s 8 and I suggest you try to get on his good side and he’s gonna be the sweetest -
she’s great, super friendly, and will chat you up forever, as well as make amazing Italian and international dishes for you! We appreciate clean and respectful people, and are interested in getting to know you and your traditions, typical foods and holidays.

We are open to hosting smokers but as ours is a non-smoking household we do ask that you do not smoke in our home.

Our house can be messy at times but it’s filled with love and we are so excited to meet you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love mountain biking, my enduro bike is my baby & it sleeps next to me… praying you aren’t put off by that.

I have a soft spot for the Middle East and Africa, I think they’re some of the most interesting places to visit.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

First solo trip: Sénégal
I absolutely loved it! Made some really cool friends that I can’t wait to visit again and had the time of my life. It was my first time actually going on an adventure alone! I loved taking basically any means of transport to go around from mini buses to pirogues. Sénégal is part of my heart now.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’d love to speak some Arabic with you! I need all the practice I can get 🙈
I’ll share my crazy adventures around the world with you and I hope to hear yours, I can always find good inspiration for some cool things to do listening to others.

Also, I have a thing for photography I’d be down to going out w my camera and take a few pics!
