About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Help people minimize their regrets on the deathbed (or wherever they'll die)

ABOUT ME

These days I'm trying to put together 2 things. My current occupation that's making websites/web apps and my main passion: practical philosophy and how to live a good life

Other passions:
- games that you can play in the city with other folks.
(at the moment I'm working at this project: it's called Critical City. It's a game where you have to make funny things to change your neighbourhood and share the results with other players. That's REAL fun, but at the moment it's just in Italian. You can googletranslate it...to have an idea, though: www.criticalcity.org )

- design "intermediate" technologies for developing countries
I like to transform everyday object in something else. For example you know that a bike can be transformed in a Peanut Oil press, a mobile charger... or a washing machine??! Really! (see here http://globalcyclesolutions.com/)

PHILOSOPHY

Smile and Simplify :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Actually I'm not able to host anyone because I don't have a stable accommodation... :-(

So at the moment I'm just surfing other couches and...for sure I'll host in the future

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've experienced it once in Italy (Milan) and two times in New York recently. In these days the list is growing (San Francisco, Montreal..)

CS.org is just awesome.

Interests

look above the "about section"

not enough?

Also I'm really passionate about theatre (impro), theatre (experimental...whatever it means!) and... theatre (musical).

And also I like maps, illustrations and videogames (I used to play them, but not anymore)

Want even more? let's meet!

  • design
  • graphic design
  • illustrations
  • cars
  • piano
  • trumpet
  • cycling
  • surfing
  • cartography

Music, Movies, and Books

Well.

Movies: animation films are my favorite...absolutely! But I also enjoy any kind of short films

Music: Try "The Bad Plus" and "Debussy"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hum. Probably an incubator made out of cars spare parts...that's easy to replicate in many developing countries (look here if you're curious: http://designthatmatters.org/portfolio/projects/incubator/)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help in making or fixing websites! I'm also good at video editing and graphic design...so maybe you're interested in these skills or you need some help in making a video or a website?

Also I used to play trumpet and piano..and even though it's a while that I don't practice... if you want to learn the basics..here I am :-)
