ABOUT ME

I'm a peaceful and quite shy guy, but I really like to meet people and listen to their stories, getting familiar to different personalities and lifestyles.
I'm studying at university so I don't really have a lot of free time, but when I'm not busy I like to travel, so I hope couchsurfing will be a great tool to really get deep in a country's culture by meeting new people and see new places!

PHILOSOPHY

I try my best not to hurt other people, and I hope other people will do the same. I am persuaded that anger doesn't solve anything, so I make my attempt not to get angry and always try to understand other people's reasons

Interests

I like art in all of its shapes, and I really like visiting museums and art cities; I also like to really understand and live a city like a resident would, and I hope CS will help me in doing this.

I love music, and whenever I can I listen to it! I also play bass but I'm not really good at it, since I never really practiced it a lot! I also really like travelling by train (I've done an interrail trip round central Europe when I finished high school) and I love using my bike. I never made a long bike trip, even though I'd really like to.

I also like basketball, since I played it when I was in high school, and I sometimes follow the NBA (go Heat!).

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music, particularly rock music. I like R.E.M., Arcade Fire, The Shins, The National, Yo la Tengo, Belle and Sebastian, Sigur Ròs, Pavement, Girls, Spiritualized, Arctic Monkeys and a lot more! In the last months I listened to a lot of Sparklehorse, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Real Estate, Girls and I got a crush for some indie pop bands, but I change my taste every now and again :)
I blame myself for not reading too much, but I'm trying to read more and more!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

3 of my best trips:
I've been to Iceland for just two weeks, and I didn't see a lot but I hope someday I'll be back there since I loved it for all the landscapes, the peace and the magnificence of water in waterfalls, geyser, lakes and everything else.
I made an Interrail trip in central Europe with 2 friends of mine after high school: we travelled a lot and had a lot of great time!
I've been to Iran for a month for a research exchange with a medical student association: I stayed in a university dorm, met a lot of wonderful people and saw a lot of wonderful places.

Countries I’ve Visited
