Julie is a strong, directed, passionate woman. She was the first person I ever hosted and I couldn't have asked for a better surfer! She wholeheartedly cares about everything and everyone, AND she cooks! She taught me pasta and risotto the proper Italian way - skills with which I can impress the pants off people in Australia :P Thanks Julie for a great experience!

julie is far too sweet. with short notice, she and her mom welcomed us into their apartment and made us feel immediately at home. we had a beautiful time together, it was refreshing and open and the beginning of a friendship. They gave us much more than anyone should expect from a couchsurfing host. :) ci vediamo a presto, bella!

JULIEEEEEEEEEEEEE. Hi sister, how are u? we have a lot of fun whit you and the other friend. Sinceramente per descrivere meglio tutto dovrei parlare in italiano, come te ben sai il mio inglese non è ottimo. Forse la positivita' di questo incontro è dovuta oltre che alla tua personalita', anche al fatto della migliore comunicazione dovuta alla lingua, tutto ha lasciato una bella traccia. Ciaooo matteo.;-)
