About Me

I'm an Italian marine biologist that moved to Brazil to develop his PhD project. I really love the Nature in all its forms! I travelled in the majority of Europe before moving to Brazil and I did many different activities such as diving, speleology, rugby, free climbing and hiking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm trying to know better the Brazil!! I'm living in the south, but I want to travel more in the northern part.
As well as doing some meeting in different Universities.

Interests

I have always cooked, since childhood. Now I'm quite skilled and love to try new things.
Usually I'm obsessed with experimenting new foods... maybe also for this reason I studied natural sciences...
I love nature, the contact with it and I have a special relationship with the sea (I drawn when I was young).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I moved to Brazil following the dream of doing reasearch in marine biology!

I did speleology and dived in some caves. I went down almost -100 m in the mother Earth.

I travelled almost the whole Europe with someone or alone.

I dived at -60 meters and saw gorgeous "fields" of gorgonians.

I travelled in Norway with my girlfriend and a tent. We saw spermwhales and puffing birds together.

I studied (and continue to study) seahorses.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share some italian recipes.
I can exchange some knowledge of biology.
I love to talk about travels and share experiences.
