About Me

I've seen a good part of Europe and I spent some time in Ireland and France (too many) years ago. I enjoy clubbing as much as a morning walk in the woods. I always loved arts, started working in graphics, then coding here in Bologna. Opinions and beliefs but no political affiliation or religion. Always respect as long as respect is both ways.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is an experiment among others, to spend my free time better than I did in the last year. I think this should include meeting new/different people ideas and stories, even if I'm no more in my twenties and I don't have a lot of options for travelling right now. I liked the mood of this site and gave it a try with no specific expectations. Right now I'm only available as a reference for travellers in my region.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Queen, Pink Floyd, Pantera, Tool, Metallica, Sex Pistols, Rancid, Underworld, Prodigy, Radiohead, Placebo, Aphex Twin, Chemical Brothers, Plaid, they all mean good memories to me but also Einaudi, Petrucciani, Johnny Cash, Marley, Hendrix, Eskimo, Vedder etc.
Movies: Cohen Brothers and Wes Anderson are the best to me. Tarantino too but I like Jackie Brown more than Four Rooms. Love sci-fi like District9 and fantasy like Pan's Labyrinth. I watch tv series / animation / documentaries more than movies. I like gaming, but I'm not an addict.
I'm writing too much so I'm skipping the books part, but I hope one day I'll find another person who red Foster Wallace's Infinite Geist and loved it like I did.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did some but right now I can't recall the kind of story you add on a website while introducing yourself.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help with english as much as you see from this profile, I don't practice a lot, but I should be able to have a decent conversation. I lost my french and I'd like to hear it and speak it again. I can share what I know, like freehand drawing / adobe suite lessons, or help you with your website, teach you how to swear like a pro in my language, and much more than that (?!?).

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you host me: I didn't skim other's profiles, so no idea what should I offer as an average couchsurfer. First things that come to my mind are: respect for your place and your way of life, no dirty or scary things / mood, a simple but tasty dinner, or a good bottle of wine... I can't play any instrument, but I'm in for the karaoke night.

If you're being hosted in Bologna: I can give you local's hints or a small help on the go about what you need, drop me a line in case, I'm quite busy so no guarantees but if I can I'll help.

If you're being hosted in Bologna or in Emilia Romagna, and we have spare time in the same days, and we see we fit in: a local can be quite useful here in my city / region. I can help you find a decent hotel or camping, eat good things at a fair price, dance your favourite music, discover my city, hear to what you have to say. This is just for the pleasure of meeting nice people from far far away and have a good time (not-so-far away people are welcome too). We can thrash around at a concert or just have a coffee or practice languages, we'll see what's good for us both / us all. Bologna was a unique place but lost a very important part of its identity in the last ten years. Still we have history, culture, nature, architecture, whatever, and the city is still alive at night. Beautiful rivers to sunbathe / swim / bbq in summer, right where I leave. Mountains and the sea are both one/two hours away by car, which I have (public transport can be a pain in the ass here).
