Do you know the cartoon Kirikou et la sorcière? It's me!
Like him, a child-like curiosity marks my day. I love packing essentials and leaving back home everything that belongs to my comfort zone. With open heart and eyes wide open to look at the beauty of the world, I love jumping in situations where people share, call into question, exchange views, moments, silence.
I joined Couchsurfing many years ago with the purpose of finding similar people and ever since I started using it, I did. Couchsurfing reunites all those who still love to share light and deep.

My name is Veronica, 27, living in Bologna, the beatiful city of students, red brick houses and vibrant culture. Combined with my desire of feeling uncomfortable and challenged, I left home at 19, moved to the Netherlands and started studying European law and the laws in different european legal systems, in a way that looked at similarities - and there are many! - and peculiarities of each one of them. Graduated there, after 3 years and a semester in beautiful Lisboa, and with a bachelor in English, some Portuguese days, amazing people, stories and moments in my heart, I moved back to Bologna, to where everything started, and created a bridge between the roots and the leaves: studying Italian law. Now I have both worlds in degree papers that I need to decide how to spend. Now the game gets serious: I am wondering whether the dream of becoming a lawyer for international adoptions and family law is still what I want to do for the rest of my days or whether I should open to the many possibilities this wonderful world can give. I will be honest: it is an extremely confusing, yet exciting, time.

Another part of my life that has been there since I can remember is voluntary work. I have met different realities and worlds, talked to people who experienced hard situations, contributed to educate adolescents. It has been an honor and it has been enriching. All this combined with travelling around visiting friends, trying many sports, doing yoga and meditation, now enjoying aerial silks, studying languages (and forgetting some!), surfing in California, hitckhiking in Ecuador, dancing bachata in Buenos Aires, doing trekking and skiing in the Alps since I was little, swimming in so many beautiful islands, walking by myself in Tuscany, enjoying art and music in Northern Europe and so much more. But what strikes me the most are them, all the people I have met along the way, that with their wide inner world and emotions and wounds tell their stories, are open to the new and keep walking with straight shoulders and a big smile, never hiding from life.

I am curious and determined, joyful and deep.
I am living a confusing turning point.
I am looking for exchange, listening and silence.
