I am Monica and I was born in Italy 23 years ago. I did my bachelor in Energy Engineering in Turin and now I live in Stockholm, where I am studying for my MSc in Renewable Energy. I am trying to make a change in this world thanks to knowledge and love, strictly connected to my concern towards climate change. I love travelling, hiking into the nature, playing the guitar, singing and living life to the fullest!

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite band is Queen. I love Jacob Collier, Snarky Puppy and many more! Music is the best! If I had to choose, I'd say that my favourite book is "The Count of Monte Cristo", but the list of books which deeply inspires me is actually endless.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 16, I lived as an exchange student in the USA for a year. It remains one of the best experiences of my life, I learnt a lot about myself and met countless amazing people from all around the world. When I came back to Italy, me and my family hosted a boy from China for a year and it was just amazing. Connecting with people from all over is something genuinely precious, that makes me see the real beauty of the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Many laughs and good music are guaranteed! Also I love listening and talking about life.
