About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My plan is to widen my view about the world meeting people from all around, learning their culture and languages

ABOUT ME

Looking foward to study Biomedical Engineering in Germany!

Don't think that i am a bookworm anyway, my love for reading and discovering new things is compensated by my sporty attitude, i am a karate black belt and a sailing istructor; in the past i've been doing all kind of sports including kayaking, horse-riding, free climbing, swimming, running and trekking.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life here and now, trying to take the best out of every day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Until i don't live by myself i can't host anyone, i am anyway avilable as a guide through my town, if you need info about Rome, or want to meet for a drink you're welcome.

When I used to live in England I hosted gladly several people, as well as having great dinner parties at my place!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I always found people happy to host me, my last experience led me to become a steady tenant in my host family, and it turned out as a great living together.

For now i am very proud of bringing people around my town and show them the most beautiful corners of the city not mentioned on the guides.

Interests

I am a lot into music, reading and movies, but you'll read this a bit further :)

Since no much time i found a great interest in magic and illusionism, if you be my guest i'll surely show you something cool or you'll be part of my learning process by witnessing my practice with card switches or mentalism and manipulation

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC
i like almost any kind of music, i usually go into cycles in which i listen and discovery new things, it happened with heavy metal, classical music, musical and jazz, right now i am into rediscovering the beatles.

In fact my rediscovery of the beatles brought me in founding a beatles-cover band :D
MOVIES
I think i can enjoy any kind of a good movie, at least if it's not plain stupid for the sake of it.
Some movies i realy enjoyed are Schindler's list, The best of youth, The lord of the rings, Brazil, and the list goes on and on and on....

BOOKS
Well, apart from my science manuals and science discovery books which i adore, i am a lot into fiction
I love Stephen King's works which i discovered since i first read 'The dark tower'.
I am also fond of Isaac Asimov books and for some strange reason i find an affiniy with everything describing a dystopian world such as 1984,fahrenheit 451 and brave new world

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i've seen the ocean storming from the height of a cliff, it was during my Mauritius worktimetime

Teach, Learn, Share

i can teach you anything i know about math and science, i am learning how to be a good magician.

i am interested in learning new languages, and new recipes from all around the world
