About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Do as many interesting things as I can

ABOUT ME

I'm 25 and - like many people - I have no clue of where I will be in the next 5 years, nor where I would like to be. I like many things and I dislike a few. I try to travel a lot and live as many experiences as I can. I have lived in Mexico, France, US and Uganda and I'd love to find a job that does not oblige me to settle too much.
What else? I like to hang out, to talk with people, to play soccer and I'm interested in modern and contemporary art and music.
Not much of a description, but it's always an awkward thing to do!

PHILOSOPHY

I don't have a proper philosophy, I just believe we should all be very flexible in our thoughts, trying to understand the counterpart. Besides that, I think it's important to stay curious and keep moving (metaphorically ;)).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am about to move to Chicago, so, unfortunately, I can't really host anybody, as I just left my apartment. Being Italian, I do have some "cooking power" in my veins, so I try to cook at least one dinner for people that host me - of course, if they are happy with it.
I hope to meet a lot of interesting people, who want to share experiences and advices.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've been hosted a few times and it has always been a great experience, I really look forward to do it again!

Books: Tre volte all'alba - Baricco, Caligola - Camus, The brothers Karamazov - Dostoyevsky, The looking glass - Carroll.
