About Me

Unfortunately my current housemate is not totally comfortable with hosting CSfers :/
So from time to time I won't be able to host.
But I'm always available for meeting new people from abroad, have a good espresso a beer and walk around in the city.

I was born a long time ago in a galaxy far far away...

Video editor and stop motion animator wannabe.
I love this city, despite fog and bad weather, cause everyday there's something new beyond the corner, something unexpected. As a tourist, I love going around, following the streets, getting lost and finally finding the right way. Hopefully...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people cultures, stories; to discover different points of view and lifestyles all around the world; to see a slice of everyday life in foreign countries.

Interests

Theatre, music and cinema, Street art, buskers, comics and board games, history and politics.
I've also started to collect gargoyle pictures, shot around the city. Not particular reason, but I just love them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last time I went in Rome, I woke up at 4 in the morning and I went around the city while nobody was there. I waited the sunrise in front of the ancient ruins. It was totally awesome!

Working as a museum guide, I spent most of the time inside an italian submarine of the 1969. Just like Sean Connery- boo yaa!

For a couple of months, I gave my voice to a Leonardo Da Vinci android,.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to cook a good dish of spaghetti. I know dozens ways of cooking pasta and other italian recipes.
Also I'll be happy to answer to everything you want know about Italian culture or local history,make a good movie talk, or share some stories; I'm a good talker (sometimes too good) but I'm also a good listener.

As a host I can show you my favourite places in Milan and tell you something about the history of this amazing city. I can introduce you to some friends, have a beer together or just watch a good movie.
