"You can't get lost if you don't know where you're going"

I think the "About Me" boxes are always the hardest to fill :D I don't know what to say about me, but I'll try anyway!

I'm Giacomo, I grew up in Venice but over the last 3 years I've lived here and there! I took a master in Denmark and from there I basically haven't stopped moving through a path that took me so far to Ethiopia, Germany, Thailand and Cambodia.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing because I think it is the best, fastest and easiest way to get introduced in the local culture of the place I'm visiting/moving to: it is a great way to meet people and discover the culture and life of a place! :)

Interests

I like the present and the future, I like technology and innovation. I read a lot and at the moment, after the time I've spent in Cambodia, I am particularly interested in sustainable development and renewable energies.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music
Alternative Rock, Indie, Techno, Electronic Music, Brit-Pop, Classic, Jazz and so on... I love festivals and live music! Among my favourite artists there are: Pink Floyd, Talking Heads, Chet Faker, Flume, the Kalkbrenners, Hozier, Fat Freddie's Drop, the Killers, Bruce Springsteen, NWA,

Movies
Interstellar, the Coen's Movies (all of them probably with the Big Lebowsky and Burn After Reading on top), Idiocracy, Primer, Berlin Calling, The Snatch and Lock and Stock, Dope, Seth Rogen and James Franco, and many many more

Books
Way too many to write them down :D I'd say the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Catch-22, the Pillars of the Earth, Robinson Crusoe and The Origins of Space and Time are the ones I'd take to a deserted island!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've played chess against a Grand Master in a squatted hostel in Bangkok... I've lost in 4 minutes :D

Teach, Learn, Share

Giving answers it's easy, what's very hard is to figure out the right questions.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I consider myself a good talker and a great listener, so what I am very happy to share are good conversations and a good time! I can share memories of the places I've been and of the lives I've lived!
