About Me

I'm an Architect searching the right occasion around Europe, I can't stop studying and share knowledges and ideas with others.
I love to reuse materials and to rethink buildings a space in a resilient and flexible way of use.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will move to the Netherlands for a while to work with an association in Utrecht and it will be hard to find an affordable accommodation in the city since the beginning.
I know CS since a lot but i've never used it, I was just doing the same with my friends all around Europe being hosted and hosting. Now it is time to try...

Music, Movies, and Books

MOVIE:
HATE Mathieu Kassovitz 1995
BOOKS:
FROM BAUHAUS TO OUR HOUSE Tom Wolfe 1981 (Italian title: "maledetti architetti" damn architects!)
MUSIC:

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've built a Greenhouse with reused materials.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach how to cook italian pasta, and I'm always happy to learn recipes from other country... sharing food it's always the best way for friendship! (If the food is good ;) )
I can share my experience in drawing and teach few fast tips to sketch a city landscape.
I'm always interested in learning about the culture of the country I'm temporary living in, I'm interested in Architecture as in history... I'm always attracted by new or alternative use of the space, communities, sharing practices and abandoned building ( i cannot really stay away from them!)

What I Can Share with Hosts

As Italian I can always share my cooking skills and share a good Italian meal on demand... (Gnocchi al Pesto is my masterpiece ;)
As an architect I would be glad to imagine with you new possibility and different use for your house and spaces!
