About Me

CURRENT MISSION

義, 勇, 仁, 礼, 誠, 名誉, 忠義

ABOUT ME

Beside my Engineering and Business Studies, I cultivated many interests to share with anyone. I am very curious, I love to know about other people and cultures so I am always delighted to meet new friends.
I had a lot of fun in my life. Two year as erasmus student in Ireland and one as "vulcanus" student (http://www.eu-japan.eu/global/vulcanus-in-japan.html) in Japan were probably the best of my life so far.
I just finished my studies after three years in Italy, two in Ireland and one in Japan. Now I just found a great job in Turin, my hometown.

PHILOSOPHY

Listen, Learn, Love.
I've read these three words in a tattoo: cool, kind of how I'm try to live!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am trying to be a conscious citizen aware of what is going in the world and what we could change to create a better world. The first step is knowing each other, so here I am on couchsurfing.com!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted few people so far, they were all great experiences. Still have to start surfing, and I'm looking forward to do that!

Interests

Many...
travelling (of course),
swimming (as athlete, instructor and coach),
sailing (beginner),
politics (i was elected councillor in my hometown),
mediation (I am civil and commercial mediator since 2011),
reading (I'm in love with my kindle),
cooking (not Italian only),
blogging,
photography (http://www.flickr.com/photos/simonederuosi),
movies and theatre,
writing (soon my first book).

And... I've studied engineering so I guess I have some interest in there.
