Hello, fellow couchserfers! I'm Ilaria, a travel and food enthusiast. Since I was 11 I had to get used to the nomad life and now that I'm almost 30 I can proudly say that I've lived in 5 different countries and 10 different cities... and I can't wait to start exploring the beautiful lands of Aotearoa!

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

I've never travelled with Couchsurfing before, but as I am going to New Zeland to open up my point of view I thought that trying new things would be the perfect way to start this life journey.

Musica, film e libri

MUSIC: I love Latin American music (not reggaeton or any of the mainstream stuff) especially Violeta Parra, Mercedes Sosa and Chavel Vargas: three of the strongest women that the world has ever known in history.

MOVIES: everything, from blockbusters to silent films

BOOKS: that's a hard one... reading is one of my favourite things in the world, I can say that some of my favourite authors include Saramago, Chatwin, Verne, Coloane and I could keep listing them for days!

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

Travelling alone for 13 hours to Buenos Aires to reach my loved one when I was still afraid of aeroplanes!

Insegna, impara, condividi

I could teach Italian. I want to learn everything I could about New Zeland culture and history. I'll be more than happy to share all my recipes! (some of them are on my blog freakyfoody.com)

Cosa posso offrire ai padroni di casa

Cooking (definitely one of my main hobbies), good chats about art, movies and a lot of travel tips for anyone is planning to visit Italy or Barcelona (where I lived for the last 4 years).
