About Me

I just graduated in CS ( here computer science , unfortunately there is no CouchSurfing University) in Milano. I have lived in Verona, Milano (Italy), Shanghai ( China, for one year) and Utrecht ( Netherlands , 6 months) and I just landed
I have tried many different kind of travel from camping to cruise ( this was a one shot thing i am not doing again) but backpacking was the best one till now.

Interests

i am curious on a lot of stuff:
playing guitar , music synthesizer ( i don' t know how to play , i enjoy electronic music and understand how the sound may be produced acoustically or electronically)
I did my second year of engineering in Shanghai, since then i got interested in chinese culture and chinese modern society. That year unlocked a larger and deeper interest in everything that relates to a culture different than mine and the whole diversity thing.
I have interest in everything that is "social" from community-level politics (i have some experience in university community organization) to volunteering ( in the past i have been volunteering in a canteen for the poor and doing service as a first aid responder in ambulances in Verona).

One year ago i got interested in contemporary philosophy and media studies to try to see our societies "from the outside".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Survived (and studied) in Shanghai 1 year.
Built a net-like hammok by myself.
Saved people (i don t like to talk about it but is something indeed amazing).
Designed and built the ironman suit for vegetables.
Saw 2 EXPO ( 2010 Shanghai, 2015 Milano)

Teach, Learn, Share

Outside couchsurfing i sometimes teach python or arduino at comunity workshops.

I am very curious so i absorb almost anything if i feel there is a passion behind it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well... i can cook well in the domain of italian cuisine except for meat and fish (i stopped buyng meat in the supermarket because i feel its too shamefull when i have to throw out something expired so i gradually become worse at cooking them).

If i depart from italy i can bring some good wine from Verona, just let me prepare for it.
