Hello! I am a Ph.D student in Chemistry. I've recently moved to DC for work and I will stay here in the US for a while.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Finding Yorek Birnison! And.... explore the US, meet new people and being a part of the community to host someone when I'll be back in Italy!

Interests

Travel and chemistry obviously. I love to read, I am a little bit nerdy in this way, I like mostly the fantasy/epic genre. I am not a sport maniac, but I enjoy tennis, soccer, volleyball, (kayak I discover it recently and I love it!) but I have to say that I am not a sport speaker. If you want to make a conversation with me about any type of sport I will probably only nod and smile!!
Yep I love digression, as you can see.
I love to cook, afterall cooking is chemistry where you can taste your potion! Despite the fact that I am Italian I will not blame you for the way in which you are cooking your pasta! On the contrary I like to taste every culinary speciality of the place!
I lived all my childhood near the sea, but for some strange reasons I love mountains and hiking !
I love to walk, especially around new city, I think it is the only way you can get the real insight of a place!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like music, it is very difficult to say what type... I go from the dumbiest pop to the math rock with a full immerision in Metal and alternative, and obviously I do not remeber the name of a single song.
The books are to many I can say that recently I have read Jon abercrombie and right now I am reading Fahrenheit 451.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I Ate a criket without regret and ate a stuffed fried goose neck in Poland with a lot of regrets!
Done by accident a "ferrata" (iron way or fully equipped road) by night on the Alps. Awesome and terrifying!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some Italian, some cooking and some chemistry if you are interested! And how to properly drink a whisky
I am trying to learn German, but I am far away from making senteces or beeing fluent. ....hast...du....fahrrad... something like that!
