ABOUT ME

"Simple and Complex, Complex and Simple"

PHILOSOPHY

The pessimist says the cup is half empty.
The optimist says it's half full.
The pragmatist says its liquid contents are at 50% capacity.
The ironist says it's half full of air.
The plumber says the cup must be leaking.
The scientist says the cup contains both liquid and air molecules, so it's completely full, unless someone places it in a vacuum chamber.
The particle physicist says it's completely full of virtual particles, even in a vacuum chamber.
The engineer says the cup is too big.
The Starbucks' employee says it's so you have room for cream.
The conspiracy theorist says aliens took the other half.
The psychoanalyst says the cup is your mother.
The punk sitting next to you also says the cup is your mother.
The romance novelist says the cup is a willing receptacle to the wild gushing torrents of pure passion from the hard chiseled urn.
The Zen master says, "There is no cup."
...
And me, I say: "Waitress! Refill!"

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The people from CouchSurfing that I got to know were some of the nicest people I've met in my life. They gave me the best time I've ever had in a foreign city. :)

Interests

People. I'm really focused on people in my life! I love meeting new interesting people and enjoying my time with them chilling out, chatting, doing sport, travelling. ;)

Sport. I NEED MOVEMENT!! :P I love running, swimming, hiking, (ice)skating, playing football, basketball, tennis.. oh c'mon.. I can't list 'em all!! I love EVERY kind of sport!!

Music. Sometimes music is crucial to survive in this messy world! I like listening to every kind of music. Don't have prejudices about genres. My motto is: "if I like it, I listen to it!" :D

Music². I love playing my guitar. It often makes my day!!

Nature. I love to explore and enjoy the nature! I love to stay in the middle of nowhere, put a tent on, breathe fresh air and just relax!!

Travelling. I really like travelling! Unfortunately because of my studies I didn't have so much time to do it so far.. but now, folks, it's time to catch up!! xD

Cooking. Believe it or not, I feel good when I cook. I love learning new recipes and cooking for people. It's a satisfaction I can't explain in words! :)

Computer Science. Ok.. I know it's boring.. but I want to mention it. Come on, it's an interest of mine too!! :) I love programming, creating software to make the people's life easier. I'm also pretty interested in new technologies.

You got bored and you didn't finish to read my interests!? No problem: here you got a rush of words summarising them. My interests are: people, sport, languages, movies, laughing, dancing in the rain, going to sleep late at night, the feeling of victory, love, people (Seriously.. did I already say "people"? Never mind! :P ), children, rain drops on roses, singing, sunrises, the colour blue, smiling to everybody, adventures, reading, travelling, music, sleeping, living.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm ready to teach: Italian, the ability to act silly in public, computer tricks, cooking, plenty of boring scientific facts, playing the guitar.

I'm ready to learn: pretty much anything, but definitely how you live your life, and I'm open to constructive criticism on how I live mine! ;)

I'm ready to share: great and crazy experiences or just nice and relaxing moments. Let's just meet up!! :D
