About Me

I'm on a solo bicycle trip from Udine (Italy) to Haparanda (Sweden) from July to November 2016.
I am a wandering architect, gathering experiences and dirt from far-off lands in pursuit of joy, peace and enlightenment and to interpret my findings in the form of art, architecture and philosophy.
At the moment I'm studying a master's course in product design in the University of Rome.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To live the life of a nomad while being nurtured by tales of ideals, traditions, anomalies and aspirations from all beings that i share a space with.
In exchange to offer my dusty old book of stories in the hope of finding a unifying spirit and rhythm.
