Hello World!

I'm Marco (as you could have easily seen!) , I'm a student in Space engineering in Rome and, finally, graduating within this year.

Since I was a child there's always been a constant in my life: asking and looking for answers. I've always been wanting to know why what happens... happens!
The continuous longing for knowledge has been helping me to realize how this world is rich and beautifull, which, in turn, it's thrusting me in ever new questions and responses: it's a loop that induces a strong desire of feeling, meeting, watching and discovering something new.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Most of the times I've traveled in an RV or camping in a tent. In my opinion they represent a very good way of traveling, freedom and contact with nature are just two of the numerous advantages.
Despite of it I would currently like to try a new form of travel by which could discover not only new places, but also new people.
Thanks of recent experiences I've realized that meeting a new person could be as interesting as exploring a new country, that sharing different ideas could be a very precious opportunity for everyone personal growth.
Couchsurfing is the way to get all of it!

Interests

I love nature and the contact with it: a mountain landscape or a sunset on the sea in a summer evening get always me amazed.
Meanwhile I have a true love for science (in particular physics and astrophysics), to which I dedicated my studies.

Music, Movies, and Books

I truly love reading. I've read a lot of books (e.g. Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, Ken Follet novels, Orwell , Stephen Hawking books about theoretical physics), anyway one of my favorite book is Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing an active volcano (which thankfully slept during all that day!).

Having lunch in the shade of a glacier six-meters wall.

What I Can Share with Hosts

- Different ideas, different thoughts, different experiences, in other words a different way of feeling the world.
- Good (I hope) conversation.
- Good (about this I'm quite more certain than the previous one) Italian food.
