Ciao, I am Alfredo (yes, like the Alfredo Sauce).

I'm a cook, musician, dancer and engineer.

I grown up in Italy, Trieste (close enough to Venice), moved to UK, Cranfield (half way between Oxford and Cambridge, 2 hrs north of London) and now I'm in USA, West Lafayette (3 hrs south of Chicago), where I'm pursuing my PhD in Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning at Purdue University.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd love to discover Asia from an Asian point of view.
We can talk English or try to communicate in Mandarin.

In the Summer 2013 I went to Hong Kong and stayed at a friend's place. It was awesome! I hope I would have a similar experience this summer (2015) as well!
I'm planning to visit Singapore and Taiwan, with a layover of a couple of days in Tokyo.
