About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Improve my french and finish my first book

ABOUT ME

I'm an easy-going person, who likes relaxing and having a good time. I can also be of the ironic sort and introspective. I'm open-minded and creative, friendly and witty.

PHILOSOPHY

Currahee!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm interested in meeting people to get a better insight of the places I will be visiting. Besides that, I'm willing to interact with people coming to my hometown to share my knowledge of the place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to couchsurfing, although I have surfed friends' couches for a long time and I have had several guests during my stays in Italy.

Interests

I'm a bookish person, interested in fiction and non-fiction books, mainly comics!! I enjoy doing sports. I swim every day and I also play soccer from time to time. Besides that, I like hanging around with my friends, socializing and sharing a good conversation. I like walking my dog, Luke, too.

Music, Movies, and Books

Andrew Bird, Jeff Buckley, David Bowie and Sigur Ros are my main choices for music, while I enjoy a wide range of music styles such as indy, pop or rock. As for movies, I enjoy those of Woody Allen, Wes Anderson, Eastwood, Blade Runner, The Hustler, Gran Torino, Big Fish, Rushmore Academy, and also watching TV series. Nowadays I'm hooked to Community and The Big Bang Theory. Finally, I like all sorts of books and comics, being Life of Pi, Little Prince, Calvin & Hobbes, Corto Maltese, V for Vendetta, Isaac le Pirate, Tekkon Kinkreet, The long halloween & Neil Gaiman's The Sandman my favourite ones.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Eating a "lampredotto" sandwich in Firenze, driving through Croatia and Germany on a camper van, diving in the crystal waters of the Adriatic, spending my time lying in the banks of Arno River, watching Andrew Bird in concert.
