About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find my way back to Canada!

ABOUT ME

Born in a small town in Italy, I moved after high school to Florence for my studies. As soon as I finished I decided to leave the "comfort zone" and take a look to what's going on in other countries. I lived in Belfast (UK), Edmonton (Canada) and Munich (where I study now) and that was simply amazing! I learned so much getting in touch with so many different people and habits. I played piano for 12 years, love to hike and everything about nature!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Interests

Speaking with people, listening to their stories and experiences (there's nothing really more interesting than that!).
Science in general (physics to be more precise). I enjoy playing around with electronics and computer programming as well, but just as hobby. I like to imagine stuff, design and realise them!
Also travelling, backpacking, long walks, short-term planning, hiking, music and festivals, everything about nature.

and the most important... cooking (and then eating ofc!)
