Ciao!
I'm Alessandro and I'm new on CS.
I live in Bari, which is the capital city of the sunny and charming Puglia, the "heel" of Italy's boot.
Living a few steps from the Mediterranean sea, I grew up staring at the horizon willing to discover what's on the other side and still today I retain that sense of curiosity toward the world.
I'm well educated and currently work as software developer in my city, but my ultimate career goal is to get a job in the AI sector for a high tech company and try to give an impactful contribution to human progress.
I recently became a local Unicef volunteer, so I tutor kids a couple times a month.
I practice karate and I'm also a good swimmer, a mediocre climber and an awful soccer player.
Extremely determined, I am easy to talk to and a good listener but also reserved.
Always down for a good beer or a live show!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As part of my New Year's resolutions for 2020 I'm committed to overcome some of my shyness and pursue my dreams of exploring new places, making exciting experiences and meeting interesting people... so here I am on CS!
First order of business: travelling solo for the first time and making local friends.
