ABOUT ME
Hello! My name is Matteo and I'm 25 years old. I live in Ortonovo, between Tuscany and Liguria, close to Cinque Terre. I study Political Science at the University of Pisa and I've just come back for an unforgettable Erasmus in Tallinn (Estonia) :-) I have many different interests, for this reason it's very hard to explain everything in a single post but I think that probably my biggest passion is travelling. I love to travel and especially meeting new people and hear different points of view. I like different cultures and especially their political and historical aspects! I am very openminded and I like to share opinions and experiences with everyone. I love to show my beautiful, and crazy, country and I can give you some important suggestions about it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My main goal is to meet new people, learn about new cultures and practice my language skills!

Interests

Foreign languages= They drive me crazy! I have a passion for them and I'd like to learn as many languages as I can.
Art= I love to see interesting exhibitions when I travel.
Football= I am big support and I follow my team around Italy.
Music= I usually spend all my money for music and concerts.
Food= I think food is the best way to know a new culture and I really like to taste new kind of dishes!

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC
Music is the soundtrack of my life and my favourite genre is Dark-Wave (New Wave, Cold Wave, Italian New Wave, Neo Folk, Death Rock, EBM, Synth Pop) and 80's music, so I love bands like The Cure, Joy Division, Kraftwerk, Bauhaus, Death in June, Sisters Of Mercy, Diaframma, Neon, CCCP, C.S.I, Depeche Mode, Soft Cell, Ultravox! Virgin Prunes, Christian Death, Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance, David Bowie, Tears For Fears, Bronski Beat, Iggy Pop, NIN, Radiohead, Interpol, Editors and many, many, many others!

MOVIES
All Kubrick's movies, Alan Parker, David Lynch, Sergio Leone, F.F. Coppola, Dario Argento, Quentin Tarantino

BOOKS
I don't spend much time watching tv and when I'm not busy, I prefer to read some good books (novels, classics, historical books and poems) as much as I can.
Baudelaire, Verlaine, Rimbaud, Majakovskij, Esenin, McGrath, Forsyth, Fallaci, Rumiz, Fenoglio, Pasolini, Ellroy, Orwell and so on!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I lost myself close to Sanok, in the southeast of Poland, and I spent the night awake in a terrific train station in Rzeszów with some very weird people!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to share stories and experiences and always learn something new.

What I Can Share with Hosts

First of all my hospitality, cooking and then a true Italian coffe! And, last but not least, I can teach you to make pesto sauce, the best sauce in the world! :-)
