About me
Hello everyone! I'm Elena from Vicenza, a small but lovely city in the northeast of Italy. I'm a curious, cheerful traveler, always ready to step out of my comfort zone. I love getting lost in nature, tasting new foods, diving into adrenaline-filled and authentic experiences, and being amazed by different cultures. When I’m not traveling, I work in project management and sales — but my heart beats for freedom, scribbled-on maps, and those random encounters that turn into unforgettable memories. I'm looking for travel buddies or a place to stay with women like me: respectful, curious, and eager to share a bit of the journey... or a crazy experience that starts with “why not?!”. 🌍✨ Now in my native language: Ciao a tutte! Sono Elena da Vicenza, una piccola ma graziosa città nel nord est dell'Italia. Sono una viaggiatrice curiosa, solare e sempre pronta a mettermi in gioco. Amo perdermi nella natura, assaggiare cibi nuovi, vivere esperienze adrenaliniche e autentiche, e lasciarmi srupire da culture diverse. Quando non viaggio, lavoro nel mondo dei progetti e delle vendite, ma il mio cuore batte forte per la libertà, le mappe piene di appunti e gli incontri casuali che diventano ricordi indimenticabili. Cerco compagne di viaggio o ospitalità da donne come me: rispettose, curiose e con la voglia di condividere un pezzetto di cammino.. o una folle esperienza che inizia con "ma sì, perché no?!". 🌍✨

About me
Hi everyone! I’m Serena, I’m 23 yo, I love in Turin but I’m from Loreto, a small city in me middle of nowhere in Italy and I’m currently studying International Science in Turin. I love books and visit the places I’m reading about. Open minded, feminist and not very spiritual, but I’m opens to that. Everything fascinates me and I’m hoping white this app to host and being hosted. I thing both are really good experiences. I really look for hosting because I already did it and I like showing the beauty of the city I love. I don’t always live in Turin, as I said I start there so the majority of time I live in Turin from September/ October to June/ July, but in July and august and September (it depends by my exams, I live in Loreto, with the see, mountains and fresh hair. Hope to see u soon!

About me
Hi! I'm Alice Maia, 🌊I've lived in Genova all my life and I love meeting new people. I will gladly chaperone you around🚶🏻♀️whenever I'm available, give indications and eventually host🛌🏻 if it's possible for me and my family. I really enjoy meeting new people from all around the world and chatting💬 about literally everything. 🎯I want to start traveling solo, but haven't done so yet. I hope this community will help me with this goal:) I'm very interested in knowing how other people experience life, I like to know what you think of my culture and my city, and I will probably ask a lot about yours too, if you agree to! Basically I love sharing stories, ideas and everything else!🗣️ I feel like travelling and making friends should be for everyone, so feel free to contact me if you have any particular concern (e.g. you have a disability, are part of a minority and are concerned about your safety etc) Among other things, here's a few of my interests! - I study Environmental Sciences🌍🌎🌏 - I'm a climate justice activist📢 - I love volunteering as a Scout Leader in one of our local groups⚜️ I've been a scout all my life since I was 8 and I love this world, so if we share this experience let's talk about it! I know it can be very different being a scout around the world:) Other things that might be interesting: - I try to live as sustainably as possible, including following a vegetarian or vegan diet🧆 - I have a chronic illness that means my energy levels can vary a lot from one day to the other, so I'll need to plan anything carefully to be sure I can make it through the day🔋 - I'm neurodivergent🧠 - I'm all about inclusion and accessibility, so feel free to tell me about any of your needs or boundaries!🫂

About me
Hi! My name is Marta, I am a 24 years old artist (or at least tryibg to be) based in Rome. I specilize in painting and animation, but i have a great interest in theatre and performative arts. I love animals (my life buddy is an old sweet lady cat) and nature, and I'm always eager to visit and explore naturalistic sites. I'm deeply interested in politics, and in the possibility of creating an alternative to the dominant power. I believe it's important, now more than ever, to apply ourselves in creating strong inclusive comunities, especially for those who are targeted by the institution. I am new to couchsurfing and traveling alone, but I imagine it is a wonderful possibility to explore the world through the eyes and life of locals, rather than the structures and imposition of the tourism industry. I am eager to make new friendships and connections around the world! :)

I was in Bari for one day. And I didn't swim in the sea because it was cold. I felt safe. I rented a cool apartment on booking.com and was delighted with the host. Highly recommended!!! https://secure.booking.com/app_link/myreservations.en.html?stid=325542&bn=4697326006&aid=332731 I didn't have time to do a lot, but I'll tell you what was in my plans: 1. Local ice cream: https://maps.app.goo.gl/DSkzwpmeJHPH9J467?g_st=ipc (Since 1880, the art of homemade gelato has been handed down for generations); 2. The Bari Fish Market (Mercato del Pesce) is a kingdom of fresh fish and seafood, where local chefs and gourmets find the best ingredients for Apulian cuisine. The counters are bursting with the catch brought by fishermen straight from the sea: octopus, squid, shrimp, mussels and much more. Traders are eager to tell you how to properly cook seafood; 3. Orecchiette Caserecce - the street. Every morning, the housewives of Bari go out into the street with their workbench and, using a few precious ingredients: water, flour and skill, begin to prepare pasta. 🍝 4. Alberobello is a town 60 km from Bari. It is world famous for its unique tiny houses that look like fairy-tale gnome dwellings. These small white stone buildings with a gray conical roof are called trulli. You will not find such houses anywhere else in the world.
