About Me

CURRENT MISSION

New mission: readapting to Italy after years living abroad. Will need you, couchsurfers!

ABOUT ME

An unfortunate member of the 'brain drain' generation - if only I had one I would call myself as such - I was forced to leave my beloved BelPaese to end up in real urban jungles also known as London or Buenos Aires and Canberra. Nope, not Canberra.

But now I am back! Mmm, yeah.

I occasionally still entertain myself with snowboarding, surfing, photography, binge drinking, small-talks, supper clubs, movie nights and a job in the sports business. In Turin. Any guess?

Alternating awesome failings to hopeless sprouts of enthusiasm.

No hipsters please but.. you are more than welcome to join me on my couch as long as you got something interesting (but not pretentious) to say, some bottles of your local liqueur to bring and some recipes you can't wait to share with me.

PHILOSOPHY

"It i€™s like a blind date where the person brings his toothbrush [...] My place? I'€™d love to have you, but we'€™re sanding the floors and the fish has the flu" The New Yorker
