CURRENT MISSION

Live the present and go with the flow

ABOUT ME

Hi surfers ! I'm an Italian transplanted in the UK for 5 years now. I am doing an Engineering PhD in a Visual Effects company for movies in London.
People say I'm a funny, crazy and interesting person. Well, they're f*cking right ! :)
I grew up studying computer science and music so my natural approach to life can be considered 'holistic', where art and science give us insights on two aspects of the SAME reality. Dualism is, in fact, just an illusion.

Friendly, curious and free spirit, I'm trying to get the most out of this crazy adventure called LIFE which I would spend just traveling if I could.

I spent my Erasmus in Helsinki, Finland and since then I cannot stay away from an international environment.
I love to host interesting, a bit crazy and passionate-about-life people, I love to be inspired by others' lives. I'm doing this because somehow every hosts leaves me something to learn, some lessons, it enriches me at some level so it makes me feel a good human :) If after leaving my flat you had a nice experience and spent a good time then my job is done. Then of course if you want to host me back one day it would be nice ! ;)

My motto ? CARPE DIEM ! "Happiness is real only when shared"
People, remember to Love, to do something good for others. And Love will come back to you ! (note to self: Fabio you're so f*cking cheesy...)

Execute this in order to have an happy life:
-- WORK
-- TRAVEL
-- REPEAT

PS : I am (almost) vegetarian and I don't smoke, but there's absolutely no problem if you are not :)

PHILOSOPHY

Everything is connected, the Universe is breathing with us.
If you have a big passion for something and you really want to achieve your dreams, nothing can stop you.
It's all about will power and, sometimes, luck : )

HOMO FABER FORTUNAE SUAE (Every man is the artifex of his destiny)

"So let's love fully
And let's love loud
Let's love now
Cause soon enough we'll die"

If you can dream it, you can do it.
Constantia in adversis
Adventure is out there !
Happiness is real only when shared

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I always try to take good care of my guests and make them feel at their home. My personality is quite outgoing and funny so this has always been the case.
With hosts instead I feel I can share a good meal , laughs, interesting and funny stories, a good conversation, I can play something for you and even give you a massage.
