About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discover the world and the people in it! And become a paraglider.

ABOUT ME

I find always difficult to describe myself. I'm easygoing (most of the times) and I try to be open-minded. Travelling taught me that people think different and this has to be respected.
I like to try new things, I think that boredom is a crime: there are so many things to do out there!
In my life I am a researcher at EPFL, Switzerland, working at CERN (yes the one from Angels and Demons if you are wondering :-) )

PHILOSOPHY

Why do I live my life sound a difficult question... All I know is that I'm here and even if I didn't choose to be here I want to try to make the best possible with my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf when I travel because it always made by journeys amazing and gave me a connection to the places which I'd nave had without couchsurfing! Sometimes I partecipate to CS events and I host people if I have the occasion.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed ~7 times and hosted by now ~10 times groups of 1 or 2 people. Everytime I met amazing people and I had very good experiences. People are usually helpful and can make your travel rally more interesting.

Interests

Physics, movies, english games (darts and snooker) and of course travelling! I really can't stop hearing about people experiences travelling.
I read a lot, my favourite writer is Michael Crichton.
Also I have a thing for philosophy, wondering why we are here and how is it possible that we experience it in first person.
Finally, being physicist I'm interested in programming, electronics and nerdities of any kind.
