About Me

I am Italian, 28 years old currently living in Lisbon. I like very much travelling and keeping in contact with people.
I already experienced Couchsurfing as a guest and as a host and I always met interesting people and shared really good moments together.

A little bit about me : In 2012 I took a degree in foreign languages and literatures in Milan (the city where I grew up) . I choose this course because I have always been fascinated by other cultures .
Except from Italy, I lived in Russia (Saint Petersburg) , where I used to teach Italian and since December 2016 I've been living in Lisbon, where I work for a company.

I consider myself an open-minded person with lot of interests for art in general and I like to think that each one of us can express himself/herself with the creativity process.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because it allows you to make a lot of new friends all over the world. You can also visit the places from the local point of view and this represents for me the most important aspect. Visiting a place with a person who knows it very well , enriches you much more than a classical tourist itinerary.
I think that nothing in life can enrich you more that experience. Visiting new places and meeting new people for me is the only thing that really matter.

I love reading, playing the guitar, drawing and cooking.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like listening to various genres of music, but my favourite genre is rock. I love also watching movies but I can't succeed in choosing one in particular because Cinema's history is full of masterpieces.
Instead, about books, I can say that I love Russian writers as Dostoevskij,Tolstoj, Bulgakov and Turgenev, but choosing some books in particular is difficult. The last book that I read and that I appreciated a lot is "Shantaram" by G.D.Roberts.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lost a bet and I had to take a bath in the sea. In January.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think that my hosts would say if I could teach something to them. Nevertheless, I know I will listen to their stories and I will tell mine. I like very much listening and speaking about a lot of arguements.
I will share the most that I can.
