ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Milan, half Venetian, I've been living / studying / working a few places. Pretty wanderlust kid. I work in Contemporary Art (making, writing, organizing and showing).

Things i like: eating and drinking, martial arts, videogames, every kind of art, cats, internet, (some) people and so on. Recently, I developed a passion for analog photography, using cameras as old as 1950s. I obviously have a huge passion for travelling as well, and I try to follow it as much as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Basically, I think couchsurfing is a good thing for mankind. It is a community of similar-minded people with a big heart who like to travel and help people travel on a budget. It is actually the best way to travel. It enriches both who hosts and who is hosted, creating connections across the globe and making the trip definitely better. Actually, some of the most interesting people I've ever met were met through couchsurfing, so why should I stop?

Interests

Listening and playing music, meeting interesting people, seeing things and places, eating and drinking all kinds of stuff. Hiking, swimming, flying. More generally: I love everything that feels new and fresh.

Seeing Sigur Ròs playing in the middle of a thunderstorm, getting my grandmother to like electronic music, climbing a mountain over 4000 metres. Trips to Japan were fairly amazing as well.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share many stories and chats about travel, life and whatever. Decent cooking skills, good drinking & bartending skills. I believe I have well developed some general human skills such as having fun and being nice, especially to who's being nice to me by sharing their shelter.
