Hi, I have been living in the Netherlands for a few years now where I work as an engineer.

I'm interested in traveling, bikepacking, arts, sport, people, stories.
Music and movies, anecdotes regarding them.
Concerts and festivals.
Books and photos.
Shapes and size of countries, inhabitants, statistics, numbers, stereotypes.
Camping, playing poker.
Things I don't know or in a different version of things I think I know.
Considering that eventually I might don't know things I think I know.
Playing tennis.

Future plans:

- Bike trips outside Europe
- Learning new languages: French and Dutch
- Improving my piano skills
- Finishing with my house renovations

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to share trips experiences and to learn about new places/countries.

I like cooking and I see it as a very important and social moment.
I don't mind to prepare an easy going (gluten free cause I'm allergic) Italian meal and have a glass of wine with it.
Cooking exchanges are very welcome.

I can play the guitar and a bit the piano, I'm tone-deaf but in a good mood situation I might forget about it.
