Hello to you, Couchsurfers!! I'm Italian born and bred, but after my high school I moved to England to study biology at the uni of Sheffield and have lived there ever since.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I love travelling and making new international friends, that's why! :) My university is a very international place and it gave me the chance to learn so much about so many different cultures. I think Couchsurfing is just another great way to do it. I also study French and Chinese, so meeting locals is a great way for me to improve my language skills.

兴趣

Being a biologist, I like having a stroll in places of natural beauty. Though I'm not a proper trekker/higher, I love going camping with a bunch of good friends, but my favourite outdoor activity is definitely riding horses. I absolutely adore them!
I also like art, so when I visit places I often go to see museums and monuments, although I think art can be found just as well in a nice coffee shop or by listening to a street artist.
Among my hobbies there's photography, reading, cooking, going to the theatre and learning new languages. But the one thing that's taken over everything else is no doubt salsa.....I can never have enough!!

Books: Pride and Prejudice, the Harry Potter saga, Life of Pi, A Thousand Splendid Suns, Anna Karenina

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Bought a pair of running shoes (which implies the amazing concept of me soon going running...! How has that ever come to be?!!). Ok seriously now, together with some friends here in Sheffield, I run the activities of a group of people that are either Italian or interested in Italian culture. As part of it, I taught Italian at the Sheffield University Languages festival, organized many a dinner, movie screening, day trips around England and even a treasure hunt.

教，学，和分享

I can practice conversational Italian, French or English with anyone willing to learn and give advice on which resources to use to learn. I have a TEFL certificate to teach English as a foreign language, so I'm planning to spend some time at some point in my life somewhere cool and use it, ideally a francophone country. I can also teach you a few fun steps of salsa, bachata and swing dance.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Is cooking some traditional Italian food an option? :) Otherwise, my utmost gratitude for hosting me, some crazy salsa steps together and the willingness to host them in my turn. Oh, and a little present to say thanks, of course!
