Overview
About Me
I’m an adaptive, respectful, and open-minded traveler with more hobbies than I can count. In high school I studied pedagogy and psychology because my dream was to work with kids and eventually become a psychologist. But I’ve also always loved the world of wellness and beauty, so after graduating I trained as a body-care specialist.
After two years in that field, I followed my inner voice and moved to New York State at 22 to work as an au pair , a job that let me combine working full-time (essential to maintain my financial independence) with my passion for traveling.
I joined Couchsurfing in 2023 but I never got the chance to enjoy this beautiful way of traveling and connecting since now. This year a friend helped me set up my profile and shared her experiences, which inspired me to finally dive into the CS experience.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I’m here to meet new people, learn from different cultures, and create meaningful connections around the world.
Interests
I love volleyball, and lately I’ve gotten into rock climbing. I’m also a tattoo artist — a path I started developing while I was studying in the wellness field. I’m passionate about photography too, and I always bring my Canon with me on every trip. Back in Italy, my full-time job was as a beauty specialist , a passion I paused to travel but definitely haven’t lost.
