I will say it clearly: I'm not a teacup, a rubber band or a pair of shoes. Sorry I had to say it, the important news come first. Instead, I am a party animal, a cat more specifically, but only at cuddle parties; a good talker, but only in my head, and a smiling paradoxical mess, inside and outside my imagination. I like people being curious, affectionate, kind, responsible, giggly, elegant, respectful of others' needs and diversities, and I guess I like them that way because I am too, or at least I aim to be. I dream many things, in the meanwhile I'm still living in Rome, studying mathematics in my parents' little old apartment, sometimes travelling, mostly trying to enjoy my last time here as something other than a tourist. Feel free to ask me more about myself, if I didn't bore you enough.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm quite interested in knowing interesting humans all around the world, for pursuits such as making friends. I like travelling to new places, with new languages, new skills to gain, new curiosities. I don't care very much about monuments or famous attractions: I prefer local folklore, little hidden histories. So don't expect me to be a tour guide or a tourist.

Interests

When I mean science I mean both hard and soft sciences, like sociology and psychology.
I love to enthusiastically rant in an agitated state of childish wonder. I'll make you fall in love with my interests, I swear. On the politics side: if you have some kind of hatred, prejudice and discriminations towards whoever and whatever (every category that crosses your mind) I won't be able to host or stay with you. I have no trouble with different opinions backed by logical explanations, which I actually value, I have trouble with people who just disrespect other conscient living beings. (If you ask, I am not vegan, medical reasons. But I don't need to be vegan to know we are not the kings of the world and the food chain). There are no reasons at all to tolerate injustice.

Music, Movies, and Books

I watch mainly dramatic, science fiction, horror, thriller movies. I love literature in those and other flavours. I fell in love with Marvel Comics, especially X-Men and Deadpool. I like way too many musical genres, the only I can't really stand is reggae.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I do a lot of amazing things! But I'm a mysterious one and I won't tell you on this site. Meet me and I'll tell you some crazy stuff.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm astoundingly good at planning, organising, cataloguing objects, no matter if they're abstract or concrete. My problem solving skills might be useful in overcoming your annoying temporary issues or permanent existential anguish. I give good recommendations about books, movies, music, stationery and online graphing calculators. I tend to put words together in the same line: I write fiction, poetry, and social commentary. I will be a science communicator in a not so distant future.
I am an expert at questioning authority, wildly daydreaming, creating bad puns, being outspoken, resourceful, meticulous and brutally honest and have the weirdest stories to tell, many of which are inhabited by myself.

What I Can Share with Hosts

First of all, give me explicit house rules. Don't rely on common sense. I am autistic, I can't guess what you expect of me if you don't speak. If we previously agreed on that, a social experience; I can share some knowledge, or simply my views on the world. We can do fun activities together. I'm pretty good at giving advice, apparently: so, also that. I am a counselor too, and pretty skilled at diagnostics tasks, especially in the psychiatric realm, so I guess you could benefit from a screening! I also make art. I could sing something, draw a cute pic, really whatever. But I really need to have my time and my space, also I am disabled (not in a wheelchair yet, but I still suffer pain, so long walks are definitely not my thing, and I may need to be transported).
