CURRENT MISSION

The more I study, the more I can avoid working, the more I can travel

ABOUT ME

I'm a tall guy from Italy, I live in Rovigo, near Venice. I graduated in Statistics at University of Bologna.
My main matter of concern is not waste time, so I'm always looking for good activities to train my brain and my body, reading, studying, learning a new language, doing sports and so on.
Currently completing my PhD in Demography in London, I partecipated in three university interchange in Barcelona in 2010, São Paulo in 2012 and Madrid in 2015. I also worked as entertainer in a hotel near Athens in summer 2013. These experiences were very useful to develop my thoughts about life. I used to live in a small and quite boring town, and now I began travelling all around the world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I visit people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Until now I had Couchsurfing experience only in Brasil. I was hosted by 9 different people there: 9 fantastic periods!

Interests

Football, sports in general, travels, languages and literature are a my good talking points.
I usually read, above all to keep trained the languages I speak. My favorite literature is the Brazilian one, especially Jorge Amado, an author from Bahia.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I really like Bossa Nova and MPB (Musica Popular Brasileira), and also some italian singer-songwriters like De André, Guccini and Rino Gaetano. My favorite band is La Pegatina, seven catalan guys playing rumba and ska.
Books: classics, statistic and demography books, avoiding too commercial ones. I try to read a daily newspaper per day.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Two months travelling in Brazil from São Paulo to São Luis with my former girlfriend and very few money.

Teach, Learn, Share

I use to ask to every Couchsurfer that hosts me what is his/her favorite book and singer. So my list of book to read increased significantly, and my Ipod is always full!

Countries I’ve Lived In

Brazil, Greece, Spain
