If you use couchsurfing like a dating up, please walk away, we won’t be vibing together, ain’t my thing. Unless you are a girly pop, in that case, i will hold your hand and do tell me about whats bothering you. I am here ♥️ ---------------------------------------------

Ciao mondo! I’m Bianca! 27-year-old, been living abroad between Scotland, Finland, Usa, Italy and Egypt for the past 6 years, originally from Italy.

About me? I work in trainings, i do love it. Before that I worked as a Tour guide in a Chocolate museum. Therefore I do know loads about Chocolate. I thrive in community that support each other, I do love sisterhood and deep friendship. I have a great sense of humor that helps me through the hard times.

Defiantly a foodie, always up for a culinary adventure. my love language is delicious food.. cook for me, and we're instant besties! I do have a couple of nice receipes that i think more people should know and of course: PIZZA!

I do try to live my life to the fullest, experiencing the freedom that the mother of my mothers couldn't experience, but I can! I have lived in Atlanta for 16 months, and despite the challenges, it was one of best year of my life. It's really helped me to come out of my shell. That's where I learned English and picked up a questionable American Accent who then turned into a British/Scottish accent. I don’t have any power over my accent, it just does his own thing! And that’s okay too!

I started being active on couchsurfing when I was living in the USA and I met incredible people through it, and emerged stronger and definitely have some fun little stories. I'm a curious, respectful, funny, outgoing, clean, adventurous, and a touch stubborn human being. I do boxing, spinning and enjoy yoga and meditation as well swimming or anything that has to do with water.

I also enjoy sauna and cold water dipping. I love hiking to hidden gems where not many people go as it makes me value myself and the world around me. I have also tried climbing but I struggle as I like to be in control.

Anything else just ask! I have lived many lifes and many more still to live!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it’s fills my hearth.

I've been a host on CS and a guest and know firsthand the impact hosts make on a city. Trusting my hosts is usually the way to go; locals make the best guides (expat even better sometimes, as they were tourist before becoming locals). YES to the tips that make you save money on your day to day life!

I love to learn people stories, we are so similar after all. And I love connecting with people through hearing about their stories.

I'm no stranger to solo adventures; I love doing my own thing. Yet, when I travel, I crave the real flavor of a place, the authentic stories, the words only people who live there know, the traditions that make a place tick. To me couchsurfing allows me to get to know the reality of living in a place with its pros and cons.

Now, I am Italian and I grow up in a country very judgmental on food. With many rules that are quite pointless. I'm not a food dictator, eat what you like but think about how your food got into your plate. Don’t waste it.
If you are about to break spaghetti in front of me and then put ketchup on it, let me know I will find myself something else to look at. 🇮🇹
