CURRENT MISSION

Still.... Become a jedi

ABOUT ME

My name is Iacopo, and i`m a proper spaghetti eater with supreme love for everything that is artistic. I was (am?) a bass player but nowadays i`m trying learning how to play acoustic guitar. After spending 25 years in Florence, my home town, I moved to Rome to study Music. When I was almost 30 I decided that it was time moving my ass to the UK trying to make something out of passion, Music! I started a band with Nicco (one of my best friend) but after a while...the band split. However, I found consolation in studying :) now I'm will be a Brussels citizen looking for a job in Public Affairs.

PHILOSOPHY
Life is an amazing trip from which you can learn and grow up every step you make, hopefully with good companions by your side. I love life even though sometimes there is too much to grasp... I wish I could live 300 years!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had a lot of nice experiences but the most valuable thing is that I made Friends with the capital F! Something that I consider invaluable.
