Hi there, my name is Viviana. I'm 50 years.
I live in the North of Italy, in the countryside close to Bassano del Grappa (province of Vicenza).
After a very hard period of my life that involved my personal and health spheres, I'm starting again to walk through life with curiosity and in an open-minded way, with renewed faith in the future .
I have two children: Cesare 18 years and Cecilia 16years, two brilliant and polite teenagers.
I work as employee in a wine cellar, I like to travel, to know new people, trying to know as most as possible about their culture.
I'm very curious and like to try new things. I have lot of hobbies, from sports to dance or creative things such as painting.
Love nature, walking outside in the forest, salsa dancing, theater, music, art, yoga....
I'm focusing on my personal growth and doing a school to become a counselor...I'm very enthusiast about it ...
Open to do also this experience, open to meet you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here because I love to travel
Sometimes I travel also with one of my children and I think couch surfing could be a great opportunity to travel and know the world, new culture and people, trying to do it in an authentic and low-cost way.
I think it's a good way to go in the depth in the traditions of a foreign country.
In the past I did home exchange for different years, so we are very respectful and used to unusual things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
