About Me

ABOUT ME

What would one of my best friends tell about me? I think, that I've a big problem with the alcool! :) Apart the jokes, one of my best friend dedicated a facebook page "If Dario finish the bachelor, there is hopeness for everyone". Hihi I also hope that my best friends can tell that I'm a trustable person :) maybe.. :)

Anyway, what can i say about me? I study a looot but on the contrary I enjoy the life in each its features. I spend all my spare time travelling, organizing events.
I'm an environmental activist since several years, I'm the cofounder of a little ngo called greenTO in Turin in Italy, promoter of several initiative related to the environemnt such as www.plasticfreemovida.it, www.in-between.it and so on. Currently, I'm trying to finish my PhD thesis on Circular Economy.
Of course I love drink :)

PHILOSOPHY

Thoughtless as a child, full of life as a boy, wise as an old man. In other words a perfect mix between past, present and future.
Meanwhile, think as a chief, act as a pirate.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I don't know why, but with the new couchsurfing facebook application, all my profile was deleted. Anyway I host and couch a lot in the last years.

Interests

I spend the major part of my time well-mixing study, politics, organizing parties, concerts, political protest and travelling (when I've enough money and time, of course). One year each two, more or less, I begin with some sport, right to believe that I still have a 25 years old body :D I love climb, I played Hitball (find it on youtube, It's a nice sport which exists only in my hometown Turin).
Ah, I also love juggle with with the jugglers balls, with the diablo or the devil stick. Anyway, in general I spend the major part of my time in assembly and political movements.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The trip that I'm doing now :P (stupid couchsurfing website, I can't describe all my life here :P I prefer to meet someone and enjoy the random events and experiences. However it's wonderfull backpacking around the street, forest and moutains without hurrying and any care of daily problems and enjoying any person that you can meet on the street.
