I'm 23 years old and I was born in a small city in the south of Italy next to the sea with lots of sunshine and tons of amazing food. My dreams, however, brought me to London, where I currently live, after the best six months of my life in Spain.

I'm a sociologist in love with visual arts, photography, studying to become a curator while working as a barista in a famous London coffee chain.
I usually say that London is my Valentine :)) I consider myself really quiet, the kind of person who prefers an interesting conversation in front of a drink/coffee/nice meal instead of going and getting wasted in a club.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I'm interested in every sort of initiative that brings people together, because travelling and staying with locals gives you a different and much deeper perspective of the city, because each person has something to give you and something to learn from :)

Interests

Working as a barista made me become a coffee geek. It's very likely to find me sit in a independent coffee shop trying different kinds of blend and brewing while doing my uni readings/reading a book.
I really enjoy cooking as well, it is one of the most relaxing things I can do after a busy day between uni and work. I'm gradually getting into vegetarian/vegan diet, so everyone who has some tips and recommendation is more than welcome!
