I'm still getting used to working instead of studying and am now learning how to survive and keep having fun in this crazy world. Luckily there are a lot of things I enjoy. This includes meeting strangers, sharing experiences and learning about all the kinds of people there are, so Couchsurfing sounds great to me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My erasmus project in Ireland was really awesome and I hope to replicate some of that with couchsurfing. Friends I met there told me about their amazing couchsurfing experiences so when I got my own apartment (October 2014) I decided to join this great community.

Interests

I love stories! While I prefer to get them by listening to other people, I love to read books as well. Hiking, bicycling, chess, improvisation comedy and all sentences that could start with "did you know that ... ?" are pretty awesome as well.

Music, Movies, and Books

I read pretty much any book that get's recommended to me and have enjoyed some in pretty much any genre. My favourites happen to be the ones that combine comedy and tragedy as well as those that make me contemplate life. For example I really enjoyed Catch-22, One Hundred Years of Solitude, Cat's Cradle, Ficciones, and The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat.

The movies I like follow the same guidelines, but I don't watch anywhere as many as I read books. I loved Goodbye Lenin and La Via Est Bella for example.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had to get saved by the Civil defense of Turin once.

Countries I’ve Lived In
