About Me

Born and raised in the Alps, moved to Milan to study and work, still coming back to the hometown once in a while for the sake of family and hiking on the mountains.

Open minded, good listener: really in love with good conversations - especially when good wine goes along.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My parents and grand parents took me with them around the world, and I've been around on my own too, but I want to discover new ways of doing it.
Used to love to stay in hostels, but realized there could be better and more genuine ways to know people. I was a little fed up to hang out just with other tourists.

Interests

I love photography and discovering new places.

Like cooking and everything that involves good food (didn't said healthy)

Also love free-running and jumping around.

Music, Movies, and Books

Reading stole a big amount of time from listening to MUSIC in the last years, but still in love with Black Music in general and Hip-Hop specifically. Since my brother moved to Berlin, I endend up loving Techno - recently discovered that's also great while doing things like studying.

In the last years the MOVIES I enjoyed the most are by Inarritu, Fincher, Russell (ever seen "Silver Linings"?), and McQueen (also called Steve, but is black and is a director). Never tired of sci-fi, documentaries and action feature.
Also love Nolan and Marvel, but who don't.

Lately I really loved BOOKS from american writers like De Lillo, Roth, McCarthy (I love McCarthy), Pynchon and Franzen.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I pulled over a cop's car.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my knowledge of the place, my food, wine and my company. During the day, I can walk you around if I have the time; during the night, in the weekends, we can throw some serious party.
