About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Making Couchsurfing, not war! :)

ABOUT ME

I'm a graphic designer based in Venice but used to travel a lot because of my job!
I deal with bars and restaurants so... let's get out and have a beer!

I've decided to attend a language and literature course in order to fulfill one of my dreams: one of my greatest ones is to become a novelist.

I do love all concerning art; above all writing, poetry and painting! I very like too of course learning languages and travelling!

As for sports, I played football for 11 years (some of them spent in professional teams). I'm now used to practise jogging 3 times a week, and very often go ciclying (got a Trek X Caliber 8) or swimming.

PHILOSOPHY

"Make your life as an artwork"

Gabriele D'Annunzio, by his novel "Il Piacere", 1889.

Travelling around the world, learning languages and cultures, knowing people, teaching my own language if someone is interested in, and living!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My fist aim is to learn and practise languages, meet people and travelling!

Interests

I love my job, so, I do like taking picture and making videos!

I love learning, almost everything!

I am so interested in history, art, painting, philosophy, literature, reading, and writing; but i think I could forget something! :)

I am in particular in love with english and italian literatures; and as soon as I've got some free time I have the pleasure to read:
Daniel Defoe, Jonathan Swift, Oscar Wilde, Mary Wollstonecrafrt, Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin Shally, Lord Gordon Byron, William Shakespear, Geoffrey Chaucer, Thomas More, John Milton, Dante Alighieri, Francesco Petrarca, Luigi Pirandello, Gabriele d'Annunzio, and many others that I can't remember.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite musicians are Beatles and Doors. This is one of the reasons why I'm in love with Liverpool!

And what about writers? I've read many books by Gabriele D'Annunzio (Il Piacere 1889, Il Fuoco 1900, Le Vergini delle Rocce) Luigi Pirandello (Uno Nessuno Centomila, Il Fu Mattia Pascal), Oscar Wild (The Picture of Dorian Gray), Shakespear (Othello, Julius Caesar, Romeo and Juliet) John Milton ( The Paradise Lost), Edgan Allan Poe (Tales of Terror), Cervantes (El Ingenioso Hidalgo Don Quijote de la Mancha).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've got used to drink with my friend Edgar Allan Poe. Isn't it amazing? :)

Teach, Learn, Share

As I have told earlier I love teaching, learning, and shearing everything I've studied and learned and seen in every trip I have done.
