ABOUT ME

« For the great desire I had to see
fair Padua, nursery of arts, I am arrived:
and am to Padua come, as he that leaves
a shallow plash to plunge in the deep, and
with satiety seeks to quench his thirst.»

SHAKESPEARE - The Taming of the Shrew

PHILOSOPHY

When waking up in the morning, always think what you can change to make your life better.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mainly hosting and taking parts to the activities of the local network, where I found great friends when I moved from Milan to Padua.
Recently I started to surf more.
My job is to protect creativity, and CS is full of creative people!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted a lot of people. It has been often memorable, never bad. Sometimes the person I hosted and I became friends.

Interests

My main interests are to communicate with people, to meet new people, to keep up with the people I met in the past. At work and during my personal time, there's no difference. I feel alive as long as I deal with a lot of persons every day.
I'm addicted to Bikram Yoga.
I read a lot of novels in the past, particularly Anglo-Saxon literature but also French and Russian. Now I prefer history, politics, psichology, travel books, non fiction in general and it is easier for me to listen to audio books.
Surprise, surprise - I love to travel.

Music, Movies, and Books

Jane Austen has always been my favorite writer, long before she became so popular with the movie adaptations of her novels. I like novels about the middle class (business, personal life) etc.
Music for me is less important than other arts, although I studied singing for two years. I enjoy bluegrass music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Juventus Football Club down in Italian second division as a punishment for their corruption practice has been pretty amazing

Teach, Learn, Share

I published a novel under a pseudonym. When we meet I will tell more about it.
