CURRENT MISSION

Prevent myself from wasting my days reading Wikipedia articles about random Siberian towns.

ABOUT ME

I am a student of Environmental Economics in Turin, Italy. I'm up for every non conventional way of travelling.

PHILOSOPHY

Broadly speaking, I am of the nonchalant kind. Don't believe too much in anything, especially if someone encourages you to.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I don't really have a flat or even room of my own at the moment – technically, I am crashing at my sister's (very tiny) flat. Still, we might have room for one or two needy travellers on our couch. In any case, I will be happy to show you around the city, time permitting – if not, we might settle for a drink or a meal after a busy day.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
My hosts have always been incredibly kind and helpful - and hopefully I've been and I intend to keep being a good guest and host.

Interests

I like city maps, greenery, linguistics, photographing, cooking (mostly vegetarian), graphic design, hitchhiking, running, hiking, climbing, embarassingly dancing, reading totally useless articles about Belgium's borders on Wikipedia, and the like.

I'm up for every non-conventional way of travelling. I'm up for human beings.

I try to be as a persnickety eco-friendly citizen as possible. (except for the damn seagulls. Kill them all)

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't read as much as I'd like to, I think the Internet has destroyed my attention span so I end up reading mostly articles on magazines and online. Anyway I love dystopian novels and films and anything that questions human nature and beliefs (among my favourite books Lord of the flies).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm not a really daring person and as a consequence I have few bizarre anecdotes to entertain people with. Being a townie, does shearing a fair number of sheep as a part of an au pair experience count?

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm usually described as the one who knows something of many subjects, so you can think of me as a little encyclopedia of trivia. I doubt I can hardly teach you anything in detail, but it can be fun to just discover something new!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a thing for languages, so if anyone's interested I'd love to teach some Italian or English/German/French. I can teach you the basics of digital/film photography and I'm quite into cooking (mostly vegetarian).
