I'm from Italy, I moved to the US Texas, in 2013 for my phd. I'm studying what in human medicine is known as Crohn's disease and/or Ulcerative Colitis, but in dogs. My goal is to find some marker that will help the diagnosis of this disease without putting our pets in invasive and sometime dangerous procedures.

I live with my Rottweiler Nita, my Brazilian roommate, and my tri bike :-) They are all really nice!

I consider myself an amateur triathlete, I love to run, cycling, and my least favorite is swimming. I'm training for my first Ironman in November 2017 in Florida.

What else about me, I'm a very curious person, I like to read a lot about new things, I like going to the movie and enjoy time with my friends outdoor, hiking or just sitting at a bar. I love to enjoy life when it's possible. Nobody is so busy that can't enjoy life. I like to give to others, I like to start with a smile.

Hope to see you soon and make a great connection!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing to explore the world and new cultures, meet new people and make new friends! There's nothing better than someone that lives on site to learn about their culture and lifestyle.

I love to meet and experience different cultures; I believe this is the key to acceptance and equality across races, cultures, sex, gender, religions...

Interests

I like running, riding my bike and live outdoor! I love spending time with my friends and my dog.
