I'm a wannabe computer scientist. I practiced (team) handball in the past; I also did a bit of skateboarding. I live on my own in a small town 100 Km from Milan. I'm currently working as a software developer after getting a master degree. I've spent almost all of my life in my small town, except for 5 months in the wonderful Uppsala (Sweden) as an erasmus student. I especially enjoy short (1/2 days) trips in the mountains, hopefully next summer I'll graduate (with the help of my girlfriend) to longer hikes (1 week). My longest trips have been a two-week car trip through some of the balkans, and then up along Italy, sleeping mostly in airbnb. The two car trips in Austria (in one case), Germany and the Czech Republic (in the other case) for CCC2011 and CCC2015. And an 11 days interrail through Paris-Amsterdam-Praha-Wien-München.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm overall agnostic.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think the idea of sharing what we have (both in terms of material possessions and knowledge) can improve everyone's life, and to me that sounds pretty close to "a better world" (yes, sometimes I'm this naive).

Music, Movies, and Books

Right now I'm enjoying eurodance. The movies are The Matrix, Fight Club and V for Vendetta. Books, everything from Orwell.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Tandem parachute jump. Basically I was strapped to the belly of a parachute instructor and we jumped from an airplane at about 12000 ft. Best adrenaline shock I've ever experienced!
