Hi! ;)

My name's Giulia, I'm Italian and I am a language student! I've been studying English, German and French at Padua University in Italy. I just finished my bachelor, and would like to do a master in Germany in the future!
During the summer I work as a receptionist on a camping.

I like meeting people and exploring other cultures!

I live in a small village about 60 km from Venice!
It is close to Caorle and Jesolo Beach, so it's nice during the summer ;)

>>>> NOTE, DECEMBER 2015: I just moved to Bristol, in the UK!!! I can't host at the moment because I am staying in a very busy shared flat, but I'd really like to meet up with other couch surfers sometimes! So just contact me and if possible we can meet up :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of my best friends is a couch surfer since many years and has travelled a lot thanks to couch surfing, and always had nice and positive experiences!
When I was younger/during high school I took part in a lot of "youth exchange programs" so I have been hosted in many countries (Hungary, Portugal, France, USA, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Austria) and hosted people from many countries too (USA, France, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Germany). These were all positive experiences that enriched my life and my personality too!
I love meeting new people, especially from other countries bc u can always learn sth about their cultures!
That's why I decided to become a couch surfer ;)

Interests

Foreign languages are my passion!

I also love reading and travelling.

I cook gladly! My specialities include Italian dishes like risotto and pasta of course!
