My name is Marianna, I was born in Rome, where I lived until 5 years ago, when I moved abroad: first to America, then back to Europe, ending up in the city that has always been my oldest love: Berlin. Writing, swimming, music and dancing are my biggest passions, and here in Germany I started Swing dancing, which is also a very fun way to get people together. I have a Laurea in Literature and History from “La Sapienza” University of Rome, and a Master of Arts from The Ohio State University. My professional background, through different experiences, has always moved in a good balance between two main fields, education and communication. This is because I like connecting to people in different forms, getting to know their cultures and their stories, sharing experiences and creating new ones with them, if possible. That’s why Polly & Bob immediately caught my interest and I decided to join. I believe that interpersonal relationships of any sort are the values most precious to us, something that is always worth taking the time and investing in. So, why not start with our neighbours?
