Overview
About Me
Please read carefully my profile before submitting a request. I am not replying questions whose answer is written here.
Currently I am in the USA for a few months, working on my master thesis project, and don't have a house in Trento, therefore I won't be able to host you right now. Nor can I suggest you other Couchsurfers from the area. However, feel free to ask if you need suggestions about what to do/visit/eat there, basing on what you like.
CURRENT MISSION
Just looking for my place in the world.
ABOUT ME
Right now I'm writing my master thesis, looking forward to end my studies (I'm studying Energy Engineering in Trento, Italy).
I'm a quiet, easygoing person. I'm a bit introverted, at the surface. I enjoy spending time by myself, but I also enjoy good company and good conversation.
What I admire most in people is when they are focused on their objectives and work hard to reach them.
PHILOSOPHY
Recently I heard that: "You either move forward or backward."
Makes sense?
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'm a newbie here. Right now, I'm looking for hospitality!
In the future, for sure, when I move out and live on my own, I will pay back the CS community hosting travellers.
Interests
What I'm most interested in, due to my studies, is energy, sustainability and future development of society. I like science and enjoy a good conversation with people with similar interests.
In my free time I like to draw and try to improve my skills day by day. I draw and read comics.
Besides all the nerdy stuff, I pretend to be active as well. I swim (or better, I used to.. I had to leave my team when I moved out of my home city for studying), I like soccer (just watching it, I'm terrible at playing it) and in recent years I discovered a new passion for hiking.
I lived for 2 years near a mountain area in Northern Italy and I think there is no better way to spend my free time than exploring my surroundings, by myself or with friends.
I also like watching movies and tv series, reading, listening to music, playing guitar and having beers with friends.

Music, Movies, and Books
I like to experiment and try very different things.
Music: some years ago I was really into Red Hot Chili Peppers and all kind of alternative rock (Incubus, Biffy Clyro..). Then I really enjoy country music, because it's very fun to play with guitar.
TV series: GoT, True Detective, Braking Bad, HIMYM, The Big Bang Theory. Right now I'm watching The Night Of. Can't wait to finish it.
Book: the last novel I read is The Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy. One of my favourite books ever is The Lord of the Rings. Besides novels and fiction, recently I'm really into biographies and true stories because they inspire me (I read Steve Job's biography and now I'm reading Elon Musk's one)
Comics: I read a lot of them, really. I prefer graphic novels than series (superheroes don't really interest me, but Watchmen is one of my favourite comics ever). Then I really like italian comics (Italy has a great tradition in comics, if you are interested I can introduce you to it!).
