I'm Mattia from Milan, Italy. I work as Data scientist in a IT consulting company, but I'm also concerned with sustainability, climate change and new technologies.

I'm also a scout leader and a soccer referee, actively performing these passions in my birth town Lodi. I dedicate lots of my time in particular to the first, as I belive that the best way to make the world a better place is to guarantee to the new generations the best possible conditions to fulfill their dreams and be happy, educating them to universal values as peace, respect and sustainability.

As personal conduct, I'm a quiet and peaceful person, but I like being in company with other people, having good conversations and enjoying different in or outdoor activities. Usually other people describe me as tidy and easy-going , and I always try to make sure that everyone around me is happy and serene.

I have not traveled around the world so much (yet), but I like to visit new places and countries, discovering their history and traditions, especially when they are related to food!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It gives you an opportunity to meet other people who want to meet you around the world, having a privileged point of view on their local reality. There is nothing better for you than getting to know a new person!

Couchsurfing brings back to life the tradition of hospitality that has long since disappeared. It is also a good way to visit places when you travel alone, making the journey less boring.

Interests

World has incurred in big changes during the last years. People have to increase their abilities in collaboration and communication, working together to reach peace, prosperity and sustainability for the whole world and future generations. Hopefully, making it fun!
