Hi Couchsurfing Community!

I am Valentina and I come from a small city in northern Italy, Varese.
I started traveling after I decided to move to the USA as an Au Pair (foreign nanny). Those good old days are ended and now I have a bigger plan to travel the world for as much as I can!

Why I haven’t hosted yet : I have been traveling/ seasonal working for the last 7 years and I have never really had my own place. I have just lived with my parents or work would give me shared accommodation. Can’t wait to host when I settle down somewhere :)

I consider myself friendly, easy-going, always smiling, open-minded and crazy, in a good way :)
I am also a really active person. I love all sports and I am always down for some good adventure!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because a few years back a friend told me about it. I started using it and now I can't stop anymore. I have made beautiful memories thanks to beautiful souls I have met on my path. I have made friends all over the world and I am really grateful for it.

I think Couchsurfing is the best way to experience a new culture or just different location. You easily understand that the locals make the place and it is completely different if you visit on your own. I love to hear and share stories and feel like a local everywhere I go.

Interests

My biggest interest is traveling. I don't come from a family of travelers so now I need to make it up! The more I travel, the more I learn about myself.
I love music too. I don't have a favorite genre, I just like to listen to anything that feels right in that moment. I also love to sing! Not going to be a singer but we can definitely end up at a karaoke bar!
I also like outdoor activities! Winter is for snowboarding, summer for all the rest!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like every kind of music. Seriously, every kind.
I don't have time to watch TV but I really like horror movies and comedies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I've ever done is moving overseas at 20yo and find myself really passionate about traveling.
I have been roadtripping the USA for a month living out of a car, a tent, and amazing hosts that opened their homes to let us take a shower and share a lot of stories and food!
I also backpacked Mexico and central America all on my own. Best memory ever!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I m open minded and I like to share my experiences and learn new things from the other people.
