About Me

*************************************************************************************
IMPORTANT

I will utterly ignore any message/request that is copy pasted or impersonal.
I also travel frequently.
*************************************************************************************

I'm curious, lazy and veeery stupid. As a consequence I find myself doing weird things pretty often and I'm comfortable with it :) ...

...Some things are important, some others are important just because you want them to be so. I like to care *a lot* about the former and ruthlessly ignore the latter.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

*insert cookie cutter such as "I like to meet cool people"*

Sure, I do. But I'm not really satisfied with "meeting" cool people. I like to make connections, possibly quite deep and to share what I know about my city. I used to do this in Milan with people I met during my travels - this was before I even knew about couchsurfing. Now I live in Prague and doing this once more is a very, very good excuse for me to do my "homework" and learn about the city I live in.

Expect me to guide you around the city, share some drinks/food I got from other surfers or friends and definitely share tips and stories. I'll be upfront with my time obligations and boundaries.

What I expect from you is to bring some sort of value in my life
=====> this is not a free hostel and I'm not looking for people that I will never meet again.

Interests

I'm quite a nerd whenever it comes to music, science and maths, and languages.
One big goal in my life is to live things with depth, that's why my favourite place for holidays is the Mariana Trench.

I'm very interested in ginger, that's why I have always some with me.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
Progressive Rock and Metal (alas, especially the poppy, cheesy one)...
... but then, I like what pleases me (said Captain Obvious); the deal with progressive is that it usually forces me to stop and think about it, I invest energies and... I'm hooked. Same works for Jazz although I'm pretty new to it.

Another way to see it is that music it should be green...
...but let's not write too much.

Books: Narziß und Goldmund (Narcissus and Goldmund / Death and the Lover).
Films: I'd love you to recommend me some.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

These pieces of information I leave for my CV. Usually I like to be amazed by the little things, really. Today I was amazed by trains...

...Ok. I couldn't resist: when I was 18 I played with my hard rock/heavy metal band in one of the oldest theaters in Milan.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you anything, just let me learn enough of it. :P

I love saying funny stuff in languages I don't know. As a matter of fact, that's my natural talent. I can parrot things in basically any language and my huge short term memory allows me to....
... what was I talking about...?

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories and that's it.

...ok I can sing you a song...

... maybe I can also cook something if you ask please...

... I can also do your math homework if you're really really nice....

...but what I bet I can share for sure is my positive vibe and smile.
