We are Sara (35yo) and Eleonora (29yo), a couple from Italy, now in Cambridge (MA, USA), thanks to a double scholarship :-) for Boston University (Spring '23).

On May 20th, we'll be back in Europe with a stopover in Reykjavik,
the Icelandic capital, for 5 days.
When back, we'll have some new adventures ahead of us:
Sara has been awarded another scholarship for the University of Sydney (from the end of June to the end of July), while Eleonora will be involved in the activities of the cultural association she co-founded in Italy for the whole summer.

We are both workers and students.
Both of us love to maintain a healthy lifestyle (we are non-smokers).

Sara is a facilitator and a former special education teacher;
she is now pursuing a Master's in Psychology.
Her dream is to pursue a Ph.D. and become a psychotherapist.

Sara has peasant origins: her family has been working in agriculture for three generations in the territory of Crema, Lombardy, Italy (which was the location for the movie "Call me by your name" directed by Luca Guadagnino).
In her free time, Sara loves practicing yoga and reading.

Eleonora is the co-founder of a cultural association in Trentino Alto Adige; she works as a performer and is studying Visual and Performing Arts.

Eleonora grew up in Milan.
In her free time, Eleonora loves working out and dancing.

My (Sara's) previous profile phrase: "I love to cook and eat sitting on the floor, bathe basil plants, use the wireless connection of the heart, make origami with what I think the world is and let them float in the nearest river".
