I’m 24, Italian, just graduated from Politecnico di Milano. I am currently in Italy and I will be moving in SF this October to start my internship in a startup in SoMa. I’m more kind of a business guy than a pure developer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking for a temporary cozy place where I can both relax on my own and engage in interesting conversations with my flatmates. This would be a great way to learn about the city in an authentic way and I'll be searching a stable accommodation in the meantime.

It needs to be convenient for commuting to Mission St in SoMa, extremely clean, and with a good balance between shared and personal moments.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This summer I went diving in Salento (south area of Apulia, Italy) and I stayed like 20 minutes with two puppy octopuses in my hands!! It was such a great experience! I felt like I was dad octopus with my two little sons ahah :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love teaching stuff to people: I can teach you how to fish, cook (healthy!), speak Italian, and also some exercises if you wanna stay fit! I'm also a kitesurf beginner, so if you can teach me, it'd be great!

I'd love to learn new skills and to see different opinions on things. Discussing about general and abstract concepts is something I really enjoy since it makes everything so more deep and meaningful. People with different backgrounds are very interesting to me since they make me travel very long distances with their stories and traditions. So inspiring!!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I might be able to cook for you sometimes or just to talk on this and that. I'm extremely clean and organized and I consider 'respect' as a prerogative when being hosted somewhere.

I am also kind of Mr Fix-it. As an engineer, I can help you with any issue. Let's fix it together man!
