I am an Italian girl who was born and raised on the seaside, in a border city. When I turned 19, the wind blowing in Trieste – aka BORA - pushed me away from my hometown and brought me to the mountains of Trento, where I started studying law with the initial purpose of saving the world. After a while, I started to feel the call of the Middle East, and I sailed twice through the Mediterranean Sea to spend two semesters respectively in Istanbul and Jerusalem. Since adulthood stepped into my life, I moved to Milan. I could not save the world, but at least I could learn how to defend artist’s rights. Soon the nomad life called me again, and I moved to Brussels, but I returned to Milan right before the pandemic hit. I am an adventurous and kaleidoscopic girl, who simply wants to live her life at the fullest, exploring the world and sailing through a meaningful existence.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I am a member of couchsurfing since a long time. I used couchsurfing a lot during my exchange semesters in Turkey and Israel. I only met nice and kind people that made both my stay in Turkey and Israel simply awesome! I really think couchsurfing is the new way of travelling and a great way to make connections all around the world. Right now I cannot host anyone, but I really hope to do it once I'll settle in my own house.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Erasmus experience in Istanbul in 2014/2015 and in Jerusalem in 2015/2016. I had the chance to travel throughout both countries and explore the local culture and history. During my 20's I've been a keen Middle East addict, but now I am ready to move further East!!!
My Interests
I like music, nature and art the most. I was born and raised on the seaside, so I naturally enjoy salty messy nights. I have a strong sense of justice and I respect laws of nature. Food is balsamic for the soul too. What I enjoy the most when I travel is exploring the culture and getting to know the people. I love hiking, camping and singing at bonfires. I think the job defines people as much as their favorite flavor of M&M's.
