CURRENT MISSION

Travel. As far as I can.

ABOUT ME

All about me? Well, that's hard. I'm really awful at describing myself, always had problems since I sat at primary school. I'm halfway between shy and sociable - I usually need some time to start being talkative with someone. But on the other hand, when I meet someone that gives me a very good impression, someone who looks like eager to hear what I have to say, I can turn into a professional chatterbox. I'm quite honest (yes, that kind of honesty that sometimes leads to trouble) and curious.
At the moment I'm studying in Milan and my aim is to become a translator (working with Italian, English and Dutch).

PHILOSOPHY

Live. You'll have enough time to sleep when you'll lie in a coffin, won't you? :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I heard of CS through a friend of mine, and I thought I could give it a go!
I can't offer a couch because I live in a small house with narrow-minded parents. Yes, I know, it's sad.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

No experience, I'm looking for a couch for the very first time!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, something really amazing I had the chance to see were two concerts of Muse in Italy (Bologna, 2009, and Milan, 2010). I just love Muse and I've never seen anything like that in my whole life. Words fail me everytime i try to describe these concerts.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love playing music, so if you have a guitar or a drumset at your place, I'd be jolly happy to have some fun jamming together!
About learning, I'm quite open to new languages, cultures, opinions and ideas.
