About Me

ABOUT ME

I am really not that difficult to get the whole picture from, I get along easily with people and can be quite talkative and involved in whateveristhesubject

Also, I've deduced I'm quite inclined to talk to strangers during my travels and such, I just love knowing even briefly new people and hearing new stories!
My life has been keeping me in my hometown so far, where I grew up, went to school and so on, so I try to seize every occasion I can to get away from here! (not that I don't like it, it's just that it seems to me there's so much to discover outside the usualness!)

Love music, listen to tons of songs every day, love cycling through town, love even winter.

Obviously love sofa & tea (that must be the perfect combination).

I could be lazy but once I start doing something there are a few things that can stop me from continuing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately I can't properly host anyone right now, (that's because I'm still at my parents' house), but I'm always free for a coffee or tea and a tour of the city!

Of course if it's the weekend or holidays I'll have plenty of time to dedicate to you :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All in all great so far! I've been hosted from friends living abroad (once in Zagreb, recently in Brussels), and recently in Eindhoven and Delft (NL), where I met great people.

As a host, I hosted an Aussie guy who I would then become friend with after meeting him a few weeks before in a hostel in Brussels.

Interests

Bikes, travelling, and speaking english as much as I can!

Politics, urban design and planning and architecture are what I do mostly everyday, trying to keep up with the university and city politics agenda.

You can say I am too much involved but the point is we need to get our space of participation if we want to have our say and see some changes in this world

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: anything barely complicated or psychological-related interests me (Donnie Darko, Inception, Matrix...), also love Spaghetti western (maybe one of Italy's pride!), and French black and white movies (i.e. Le Feu Follet)

Books: I really loved UK literature, though finding it quite hard to understand sometimes.
Love diary-style novel such as the ones by Goethe, Svevo, Pirandello... Love D.F. Wallace style and themes.

Music: anything alternative, really love the 90s indie rock (Pavement, Wilco, Modest mouse...), really interested in Radiohead but also in our local italian scene (Afterhours, Verdena...). Love electro.
