CURRENT MISSION

Learning to love

ABOUT ME

I was always curious to know new things, to see how things work, to understand the world better. This is probably why I am a scientist now. I also enjoy dreaming, drawing some beautiful ethereal pictures in my imagination. This is probably why I did mathematics, and then data science. I also quite enjoy sharing my sense of beauty but this is not obligatory :)

I like to meet new people, to get to know them, to share the life experiences. I love to travel, to see the places I never been before. There is something wonderful about stepping over your threshold and starting to move!

I enjoy physical activity but I am too bored to go to gym or to jog. Instead, I do alpine and back country skiing, hiking and trekking, sailing, kayaking, bicycling, windsurfing.. Depends on the location and the season. And I want to try more!

PHILOSOPHY

Better meet me and learn. This will tell you more than a few vague phrases.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

During the last years, I had a rare opportunity to travel a lot. And after I met many people, I feel like they become connected through me. The world becomes a little smaller.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In Trieste, I hosted Nelly, Leo & Nina, Erwan & Quentin, Luna & Nina, Sarina, Dasha & Kolya, Johann & Nanni.

In Stockholm, I hosted Vitaly, Nikolay & Artem.

in Rome, I hosted Kuba, Olya & Max, Danil & Anya, Vika & Jenia, Johan, Olga, Ksenia, Nathalie, Eugeny...

I surfed the couches of Mauro and Gianluca in Udine, Revekka in Barcelona, Clement & Sylvie in Lyon...

(I had very convenient links to their profiles here in the old website.. now if you're curious you got to find them in my references)

More to go!
