Hi!
I'm Andrea an Italian student and I'm now in Boulder (CO) as a researcher in material science. I'm here to do an activity related to my master thesis and I'm happy to have the opportunity to stay in the US, visit new places and meet amazing people.

I'm young and I'm building my personality, I think that meet new people is the best way to be open-minded, creative and long life learner. I am a good listener and I appreciate listen people thoughts. I always try to be empathetic because I think is the key to connect with people, even if you have a different personality.
I am a friendly person and if possible, I like to chat and discuss different topics. I think it's an opportunity to discover something new, and why not, maybe give some suggestions. I'm clean, tidy, and respectful of your spaces and rules.
I'm an easy going guy, and I am always ready for going out for a drink, chat or whatever you want!

I love cooking and I used to prepare my meals every day. Cooking is something that relax me and I enjoy organizing dinners with friends. I can cook something for you if you want to taste some Italian dish!
On the weekend I like to go hiking and explore new places! I spent lots of days in the mountains but every time there is something that worth the effort and the time to reach the summit!
I used to play several sports, I'm a soccer fan but when possible I like to watch football and basketball. It would be cool if we play something together!

Philosophy: I never lose, i either win or learn. Sometimes you are forced to face moments of difficulty and it happens to fail, but the most important thing is to restart and be ready for the next challenge.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to meet new people, create connection, visit new places and share what I know. I love traveling and I think that Couchsurfing is something that can really allow you to discover something about the place you are visiting, and can give me the possibility to meet new people with different cultures or mentality.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen every type of music but I used to listen my own playlist that is a collection of songs that really means something to me

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Something great that I've done is a bike trip from Turin to Lyon that took about one week of cycling. It was amazing, I sow new places every day and I shared this experience with others 20 guys and girls from my hometown

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to cook some Italian food and I'm impatient to discover something about you, your culture and the place where you live. I can also teach you some Italian words, so when you will come to visit me in Italy you'll be ready!
