About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I keep running around, trying to find the ground, but my head is in the stars and my feet are in the sky

ABOUT ME

Well, I don't like very much describing myself... I think I could say I'm easy-going, reflexive, sometimes shy, but I love having good laughters. I love talking about anything, from music to history, and listening to others people opinions.

PHILOSOPHY

Learn as much as you can from any people you meet and everything you see, read, watch, experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I don't have a couch, since I'm living with a family in Cambridge (and when I'm in Italy, I live with my parents). But maybe next year, finally with my own home, I could become a host. For now, I'd just like to meet interesting people to talk with!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been hosted in Lisbon by a very good friend of mine.

Interests

I'm really into books, especially novels, music and movies. Well, I guess you may read my favourites below... I like live music too, of course, sometimes cooking, and sometimes dancing, but I'm awful at it, so I must be in a very very good mood to go dancing :) I love travelling and discovering not-touristic aspects of the country I visit.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love some great novelists, such as Garcìa Marquez, Jane Austen, Dostojievskij, Richard Yates, David Foster Wallace,Daniel Pennac... ok, they're too many to be listed here. My favourite movies are Gran Torino, Little Miss Sunshine, Annie Hall, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Casablanca, The Departed, and as before, many others.
I mostly like indie music - Arcade Fire, Decemberists, My Bloody Valentine, Mogwai, Smiths, but also more... rock stuff, like Queens of the Stone Age and Black Keys.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The festival Las Fallas in Valencia last year: it has been the most crazy day I've had.
And the sunrise over the hills near Perugia (just before an analysis lecture)

Teach, Learn, Share

As you might have understood, I can tell you a lot about novels! I'm pretty good at math too (hoping to become a researcher); I would like to practise more the languages I studied at school, English, French and Spanish. At the moment I think I would like to learn singing and maybe sailing in the Charles River.
