Hi! I'm Edoardo, from Italy.
I'm a student in the University of Rome, but I live in a nearby village, which for sure is quieter.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While I'm not usually a very social person, in traveling alone for a long period I found of great importance having the opportunity to meet someone to spend some time with. Couchsurfing seems the ideal way of doing it.

Interests

I really like having immersive experiences, so I tend to get fully involved in my passions, losing myself in my activities.

Since when I was a kid one of my greatest passions are percussion instruments. At the beginning I started with playing the drums, but more recently I got into hand percussions.

I really like spending my time in nature, in calm and vast places.

• walking
• woodworking
• folk music
• jazz
• outdoor activities
• hiking
• camping
• snowboarding
• astronomy
• mathematics
• tea
• relaxing
• boardgames
• roleplaying games
• playing drums
• logic games

Music, Movies, and Books

The Lord of the Rings, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Birdman, Breaking Bad, Neon Genesis Evangelion

Foundation series, The Evolution Man, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Siddhartha

I also listen to a lot of music and I'm always searching for new tipes of sound. From classical to progressive (rock or metal), from folk to jazz. I happen to fall in love with peculiar tones some percussion instruments can produce, leading to a new type of music listening.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent one month in India when I was 6, as I followed my parents and their Yoga masters. I think I've changed a lot during that period, even if I was too young to fully understand the experience.

Last summer I traveled alone by train from Rome to Abisko, in Swedish Lapland. Other than the true beauties I have seen in the north, I found really impressive being with no one in those wild and distant lands. Even if I enjoyed the moments of solitude I've had, many of my greatest memories are with the people I met during the trip.
