Hi all,

I am an italian guy who works and lives in Lausanne, Switzerland: this very nice little city! I have been here since September 2015.. but still, I discover new things, new parks, new green beaches on the lake, cosy cafeterias... that make this city a good place where to live and/or just relax.
I moved from Sicily, my beautiful home town, because I am doing a PhD here at EPFL (transportation, mobility, ...)
I have my own apartment in the city center with a beautiful view on the lake Leman (see picture!). Here I have also my friends piano, guitar and violin (and if you can play one of these instruments we can play together if you are in ;) )
I love literature and arts and I am a very curious person (but discrete) especially for cultures different than mine. For hobby I try to learn Japanese and Chinese. But still I really need to practice my English, we can always improve it!
I love cooking, especially italian/sicilian receipts so you are invited to share lunch or dinner with me (it is always better to eat in good company, isn't it?)

In my apartment I have an extra bed that I keep under my bed so I would be happy to host you for few nights :)
