About Me

I am a 30yo originally from Italy, who's been living between Italy, Germany and Australia, and since 6 years based on the same address, in Berlin.

I am a a full time thinker and i tend to question every aspect of life. I find my anchor in the reality of every day life in working as graphic designer and experimenting with handcraft and decor. I often take breaks and go wander in the nature, to find comfort and a sense. Crystal water lakes, high mountains, deep and green forests are my yoga. My favorite solitary consists in staring at plants, searching for mushrooms, observe insects.

When living the city life, i like to observe me and my thoughts, express it in art if the time allows me to, otherwise i observe the way mankind expresses itself: i read stories, i watch documentaries and films. I listen to musics of someone else's story. I like to join crowds on the dancefloor of a club, every once in a while, too.

Socially i am into activities, outdoor or indoor, that not necessarily involve constructive dialogue! Board games and video games are fun. But i do not dislike talking politics or economics, areas where i do find myself more of the curious learner who brings up questions, rather than the speech holder.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing cause i believed i had something to learn and to share with people who come from very far to where i stand.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy any kind of music if arranged in the right way!
From classical to IDM, passing through folk, rock and metal i have loved some artists or band for each genre i guess.
Bach, Aphex Twin, Faith no more, Boards of Canada, Joanna Newsom, ANdrew Bird, Animal Collective, Teo Teardo, Bohr and the Club of Gore, Bogdan Raczynski..

When it gets to books i like reading about philosophy, society and politics rather than fiction. Noam Chomsky and Baudrillard some of the most interesting in my opinion. Fiction authors i enjoyed are Kurt Vonnegut, Stephen King, Michail Bulgakov, Tolkien..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Long hiking days in Tasmania, meeting none, but wild animals, snakes and spiders. Hiking on the Alps, climbing next to waterfalls, jumping from Australian cliffs in freeing oceans, being robbed while hitchhiking. Raving for 3 days at Fusion Festival, sleeping under a sky full of stars in a dead vulcano in Tenerife, night roeddeln in Switzerland.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I share a bed, a couch, some mess, meals and conversations.
