About Me

I was born and raised in the South of Italy, in a small small but cute town in Apulia. Then I moved to the North for my studies, then I moved again, to Dublin. I graduated in International Relations and Diplomatic Affairs and now I'm based in Lund, in the South of Sweden, where I'm studying Social Studies of Gender.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because it's super cool, because I'm poor and because the world is full of beautiful people and CS is a way of meeting them.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: I spent the last 4 years mostly reading a lot of stuff for my field of study..oh wow I just realized that I'm barely reading stuff for my own pleasure. My favourite books are Fahrenheit 451, Great Expectations(by Dickens), The Catcher in the Rye, Choke, Invisible Monsters, Gang Bang (the last three by Chuck Palahniuk), Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse, almost all the books by Luigi Pirandello and Italo Calvino and a lot of French books especially belonging to naturalism and realism (Madame Bovary changed my Life, think I read it 100 times), Goethe (love the sturm und drang vibez), Gramsci, Marx, Rousseau and maaaaaaaany more

Music: oh boi where can I start? I like so many different random things. So I'll just mention random names: Jordan Rakei, Tom Misch, Sampha, Lianne la Havas, SBTRKT, Nick Murphy, The Acid, James Supercave, tomemitsu, James Blake, Fever Ray, Patrick Watson, the National, Låpsley, Low, Slowdive (and a loooooot of shoegaze shit), Damien Rice, the Antlers, Low Roar, Madrugada, Astronauts, 65daysofstatic, TR/ST, Junip, Jose Gonzalez, Little Dragon, Hot Chip, Balthazar, Palace, Beach House, Agnes Obel, Jeff Buckley, Tim Buckley...................................and maaaaaaaaaaaaaany more

Movies: (I'm not gonna be too specific since I'm aware I have a weird taste ) WES ANDERSON (every single movie, he's my favourite director), Xavier Dolan (All the movies except Tom at the Farm), Dario Argento, Stanley Kubrick, Alejandro Jodorowsky, Pedro Almodovar, Sorrentino (only before The Great Beauty and Youth which I hated), Gondry(Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind, The Science of Sleep, Mood Indigo),Kim Ki-Duk (빈 집, 봄 여름 가을 겨울 그리고 봄), Wong Kar-Wai (In the Mood for Love, 2046, My Blueberry Night), Sofia Coppola and maaaaany more.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to play ukulele (but please don't ask me to sing because I honestly suck), how to cock Italian food, and if you feel brave enough I can teach you how to knit (LOL I'm just kidding).
What can I learn? Whatever you can teach me ! I'm more than willing to learn new stuff! I would looove to learn how to surf and how to skate

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my room, my creepy sense of humor, my beers (and liquors if you're lucky), I can share my music, my stories, my favourite spots in the places where I live....
