My name is Enrico, I'm a political science student from Italy and will be on an exchange for 7 months in Irvine, California!

I'm from Pisa but I moved to Bologna two years ago to study at Uni there.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I signed up to meet new people! Since I'll be 6000 miles from home, might as well live it to the fullest and make some friends across the pond.
I also signed up because I grew up with my family house full of travellers from all over the world, so I'm always happy to meet people this way

Interests

I love theatre and I used to play saxophone, now I'm just really eager to learn new things and share pieces of knowledge, from sports to history to unhinged wikipedia facts

• literature
• theater
• cooking
• politics
• hiking
• history
• languages and cultures

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to almost every musical genre, but mostly to rock, jazz and blues music
I love biographical books, theatrical plays, and every author which analyses the human soul.
On the other hand, movie-wise, I watch everything but have a soft spot for action or comedies.

If we're talking about favourites:
-Band: Dire Straits
-Book: Heart of Darkness
-Tv Series: Narcos

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I crossed England on foot by myself, with my backpack and a tent.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you some italian, I'd love to learn the local ways of life, and we could share recipes, stories and the bar tab

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd like to share the knowledge about each other's nation, people and language. I can offer some stories over dinner, which I'd gladly cook
