Overview
About Me
Hi! I'm just a normal person who's divided between adult working life and enjoy every spare moment travelling: half a chemist half a wanderer. Actually living in Verona but looking for moving.
I'm convincing myself I'm going to buy a lemon tree since 4 months ago, didn't happen yet
Just start with climbing.
I enjoy solo travelling, I've been two weeks in Iceland in 2016, and do some more big journey since then. I love the balance between moving on my own but also share moments with people I meet on the way
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I’m on couchsurfing cause I like the idea to experience a new city or country from local’s eyes, not as a tourist. Everyone can be a tourist, not everyone a local!
Interests
I love reading, it is a before-sleeping must. And of course in every other moment of my day, though I tried, I cannot walk and read. Pity.
I practiced in-line hockey and ice hockey a lot years ago, I had to stop cause my team split (twice), so this will be a never-ending love for me.
I really like photography, I was practicing a lot years go, then life took me time so now I’m trying to take back the feeling I had with my camera. Anyway, I really enjoy capturing moments by my point of view and my feelings. I start again with drawing also, another old interest that has been lost. But maybe not forever, hope so
Every person I know would say that another interest of me is discovering barely unknown artists and new music (especially loving folk music), events, festival and yes, planning trips. I spend half of my free time looking for all the possible destinations and I have to say that I’m really confident in travelling.

Music, Movies, and Books
My favourite writer is Dominique Lapierre, I read almost every book he wrote and everyone worth it. I appreciate a lot also nordic authors like Arto Paasilinna, I read some of his books and I like his humour, as Jonas Jonasson (even if now he’s too mainstream). Then there are Shantaram, Ildefonso Falcones’s, Noah Gordon’s, Douglas Adams's,… I read a lot of books, so you can ask me and we can talk about it!
I love almost every kind of music, doesn’t matter the genre but how you fell listening to it. My favorite author is The Tallest Man On Earth, then there are Hindi Zahra, Joan Baez, Mumford and sons, Manu Chao, Florence and the machine, Batida, Nneka, PJ Harvey, Nina Simone, Goran Bregovic, Dubioza Kolektiv, Sons of Kemet, The Comet is Coming…
This list is a continue work in progress, though as you can see I don’t appreciate Italian music :)
