I am an Italian student currently based in Switzerland.

I love to learn and discuss about pretty much anything, from the latest news in politics to the proper way to cook pasta, and share ideas and life stories with anyone I meet. I am passionate about discovering new cultures and always try to keep an open mind.

Travelling, eating good food and sharing a beer with cool people are the things that make me the happiest.

Music, Movies, and Books

Anything by Mumford and Sons, Green Day, Flogging Molly, Scissor Sisters, Pink and Muse. I often jam to trash pop music, especially while i am working. I have a secret passion for Lady Gaga and Britney Spears.

I love reading and I used to do it much more before college took over. My favourite books are The Last Lecture, A Thousand Splendid Suns, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and anything by Daniel Pennac. I am also a huge fan of graphic novels, especially by Allison Bechdel and Zerocalcare (a genius italian writer that I wish the whole world could appreciate)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was an exchange student in the US during high school, a life changing experience that completely turned my life upside down and shaped the person I am today.

Also, together with two amazing teammates, I built and programmed a fully autonomous robot that won a competition at my University.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am always happy to teach a bit of Italian and learn the basics of whatever language you know.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to share life stories in front of a good, international meal :) I also love discussing politics, cultural differences and habits and books. I am kind of a geek so if you have any interest in robotics I can talk about that for hours.
