Hi, there! I’m Luisa, I’m 30 yo and I live nearby Lucca, in a little village in the countryside.

I have a degree in modern languages and I’m really keen on
translation. I work in the reporting area of a social cooperative. Even If its really challenging and it’s not what I studied at uni I enjoy it, since social integration of everybody is one of the priority of my life.

For what concerns my personality I’m a bit shy at the beginning, but if you get the chance to know me better you’ll discover a joyful and jovial person. I’m a vegeterian for ethical reasons but I don’t judge the all-different food choices, i’m really relaxed about this, so don’t worry.

I’m genuinely interested in meeting new people, from abroad or other parts of Italy. I’m indipendent but if you have time to spend showing me the hidden parts of your area would make me happy.

What can I offer?
I’m a great listener and I like conversations. In a more practical perspective I’m a clean person and I’ve a deep respect for others’ places. I can also cook some of my favourite foods. I’m not a chef but I’m trying to improve my abilities especially about vegeterian dishes.
I don’t want bumming nothing, I can provide by myself for the things I need (soy milk is a bit expensive😂).

Unfortunately, for now I can’t host at my place but If you are in Lucca let me know, I’d love to drink something or show you the city and the surrounding area.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’d like to broaden my horizons knowing different people. I also think that using CS is the better way to discover a place.
