Busy period right now, I’m moving between Pisa and Brescia mostly and could host in both locations basing on my schedule; sadly I can’t put more locations on CS.

I’m Ian (pronounced Iàn), and right now I’m studying a MSc in molecular biotechnologies in Pisa, city where I think to stay at least 2 more years (08/01/24).
I’m a curious person, I love learning and trying new things and blend with cultures.
I’m very open minded so feel free to talk me about anything :)
I traveled a lot and since I was a child, always in a non canonical, unplanned and instinctive way: beside falling in love with the rest of the world, this gave me the chance to really know local people and understand different cultures.
I still believe there are good people out there, and that most of them are on couchsurfing 😁

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Music has been very important to me, it’s a universal form of communication that goes beyond cultures, languages and personal experiences and unites the most distant humans.
So, I’m curious about any music genre you like, and for sure I can find an artist you’ve never heard of :)
I also like movies and books, but have dedicated less time to them than music, so I could know something by you about these :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Actually, this section is a big deal.
And a work in progress…
