Finding a mission

ABOUT ME

I'm an Italian guy who graduated in Chemistry in Paris and then said:
- you know what? let's come back to Italy and become an actor

Ok, it was not that crazy sudden decision, as it meant following one of my greatest passions and the desire of making art and not just seeing it, but it needed a bit of craziness, there should always be a bit of craziness: live life to its foolest!

So after three years of drama school, now ''m an actor, or a performer... whatever

The decision of doing my Master studies in Paris was due to my wish for an experience abroad and, most of all, to my passion for everything international: I love discovering new cultures, languages, traditions, and expecially exploring more and more new places. I love starting to walk and getting wherever my feet take me to.
I consider myself a world citizen, and always try to behave as such.

I'm a bit reserved but sociable and helpful person: I like making new friends all over the world and I strongly believe that everyone has a story to tell and therefore deserves to be listened.

I'm in a constant effort to become a better person, get to know my weaknesses and limits and try to go beyond them. I think that travelling is a key point in that, for its power in opening one's mind.

I'm not really into long routines and I try to change and renew my habits when I feel they're starting to canker. I love spending my time in many different and non-related activities and interests: that's my way of feeling alive!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing as I see it as the ideal incarnation of the "world citizen" spirit: people hosting, being hosted, helping and getting to know each other in a selfless aptitude, contributing to put barriers down in this world

I've subscribed to CS some years ago, and since then I've been hosted some times and met such interesting people! Always looking forward to travelling with locals, to knowing new interesting people and new stories, that will enrich my mind and soul!

Interests

As I already wrote, I adore travelling: what is better than being on the road, having no other worries than hanging around, meeting new People and exploring new cultures?

I'm quite a polyhedric person, which can be an advantage but also something arduous to carry on when confronting to a society that doesn't seem to promote eclecticism.

I love sciences- of course, that's what I've been into for five years. In particular, I love the way sciences go deeper and deeper in the secrects they're exploring, trying to find an answer.

I love foreign languages: I'm fluent in four languages and always try to learn about new ones. I love (geo)politics. I always want to be aware of what's around me. I love theatre: I've been in an actor school for two years in Italy and I'm looking for a way to keep it on :)
I love litterature, arts and MUSIC: I can't live without listening to music! I'm more into (contemporary) rock but love listening to every kind of music, except for no-quality mainstream pop and rap music.

I enjoy writing, I'm learning the guitar, piano and transverse flute and I'm moving my first steps into photography: creativity can have so many voices :)
I love cooking and eating :P

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One-month backpacking tour of UK and Ireland: so many people met, so many sheep encountered in Wales and Ireland, so many miles walked on the Kerry Way.. Will always be in my heart!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some Italian, that's my mothertongue :) I can share with you some French or German if you want!
I can teach some Chemistry if you'll ever need it!

I'm always open to learn new things, so if you want to share new dishes, your own language, teach me to improve my guitar or photography skills, to draw or whatelse you'll be more than welcome.
I would also like to start some yoga or oriental meditation, I'm really curious about that :)

Most of all, I can share with you the pleasure of talking together: that's the best way of learning something from each other :)
