About Me

CURRENT MISSION

becoming a superhero ^^

ABOUT ME

I don't like personal descriptions, because I think they cannot portray all the characteristics, all the small things that make a person unique.
Anyways, in general I consider myself a sociable, funny and easy-going person: give me a beer and some rock music and I will be happy! ^^

PHILOSOPHY

The North is to South what the clock is to time
There's east and there's west and there's everywhere life
I know I was born and I know that I'll die
The in between is mine
I am mine

[Pearl Jam, "I am mine"]

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

This is my first time. I hope this will be a great experience and give me the opportunity to meet a lot of interesting people from all over the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I haven't had any couchsurfing experience but I was often hosted by friends around Italy and Europe.

I would like to be hosted first, in order to see how this works and then to return the favor.

Interests

In my free time i like to watch Film and tv series (Breaking Bad, Boardwalk Empire, HIYM, ecc ecc).
I'm a "curious eater" so i like to try new foods and beverages. When I stayed in Pisa for University I cooked for me almost everyday and i like it ^^

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen one of my friends licking his elbow. Try it! It's impossible!
True story.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach italian language, italian cousine and cousine in general, playing videogames (i'm sure that in the future it will be very useful ^^), i'm an engineer so maybe i know something useful for the Human race :D
