I have been living in UK for 4 years to do a PhD in poetry and linguistics at the University of Nottingham, prior to moving to Vilnius (Lithuania), where I teach at university. I am a published author - I write both poetry and literary criticism. Besides writing, reading and teaching, I am learning to dance lindy-hop and try to keep fit at the gym. I consider myself a friendly, easy-going and curious person. I am Italian but primarily consider myself a European, as I feel this to be my 'true' dimension.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to experience the places I visit in a more authentic way - this was recommended to me by a friend of mine.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook you some Italian meals (pasta alla carbonara, parmigiana di melanzane, pizza) or bring you something from Lithuania, where I currently live.
