Here Giovanni, Itzana and Taiga.

I (Giovanni) am 36 years old and Italian. I have studied Physics and work now in Brussels in a mobile psychiatric "alternative" team. Previously I worked in humanitarian projects in Tanzania, Burundi and DR Congo.

Itzana, 35 years old, is half japanese half belgian (and mexican by birth). She studied musicology and works with a feminist organisation teaching french and bicicle to women.

Taiga, 1 year and some month, goes to daycare, he loves bread, little percussions and pulling cats' whiskers. Being raised in a shared house with many adults (we are 7!) he's used to be with other people.

We are now living in Brussel (Belgium) and are planning to come to Japan for 3 months from 20th April to 16th July, to say hello to Itzana's family in Kyushu and do an immersion in he country (first time for Taiga and Giovanni).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Itzana and I are here on couchsurfing since a long time, but it's the first time that we'll use it together as a family.

We love sharing with others:
- Music; we play accordion, clarinet, a little bit of percussion
- Food, we can make some home-made gnocchi and other delicious dishes!
- massages
- Tips and thoughts

we also have a blog where we share our projects and ideas. It's in many different languages but you can use a translator: www.lastradadiaria.com
