ABOUT ME
I am currently living in Rome researching at the Italian archives. In the US, I am completing a PhD in Middle eastern History. My research focuses on Italian colonialism in Libya during the early 20th Century and anti-colonial resistance.
I love left politics, culture, books (both as objects and things to read), cooking, traveling, art, movies (foreign / indie), music (indie rock mostly), and cafes.
I sort of hate writing these things but I would consider myself outgoing, intelligent, independent, and passionate about life.
One small note: I am engaged and only looking for friends on couchsurfing. Couchsurfing is not a dating site.
