CURRENT MISSION

See, discover, meet, share

ABOUT ME

I consider myself outgoing and curious. I've been defined as a good listener, observer and cook! I don't really agree on the last one.
I like to travel, see new places, meet new people, share stories, culture and pints.
I like to talk about everything, though I am quite passionate about rock music, travel stories, mysteries of the human brain and all about living our lives without destroying the planet.
Most of my waking hours are occupied by being a post graduate researcher at the University of Leeds. I work on transport decision and the influence that people's social networks have on these.

PHILOSOPHY

Travel, read, think, meet, listen, go far, come back, keep your close friends, understand yourself. Choose what you like. Go and get it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love CS and always have great times with my hosts and guests.
As I love it, I try to use it properly. This is neither a B&B nor a dating site.
Thanks :-)

Music, Movies, and Books

I spent most of my teens believing that John Frusciante, was God. I am still a bit convinced of that, to be honest. Apart from that, I like classic, alternative and hard rock. And heavy metal. Love to go to gigs and live concerts.

I like thrillers, sci-fi and good independent italian cinema. I love Gus Van Sant though not sure I understand it.

Books: recently reading stuff like Daniel Kahneman and Dan Ariely, talking about novels I like all Johnatan Safran Foer's, Patrick Suskind, JK Rowling, and many others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming next to giant turtles and help healing the hurt ones.

Teach, Learn, Share

There's no list really, I've been surprised of how people can learn from me things that I find completely uninteresting... and the opposite is true!
