I’m based in Padua, Veneto region, Italy.

I’m studying Industrial Biotechnologies at the University of Padua while working part-time at a local pub and as an online-translator.

Since when I was young I’ve been traveling Italy and nearby countries by camper, experiencing the roving attitude to travel. This led me to develop a strong fascination about visiting and exploring places, meeting people and discovering cultures and local mores.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was introduced to CS by friends and other couchsurfers after a great experience abroad.

Interests

Please note: do-not-start a photography centered conversation with me as I might bore you to death :)
I do really love outdoor activities (hiking, skiing, windsurfing, cycling, climbing) and exploring remote, unusual places.
Learning about different cultures and local/individual habits interest me as much as sharing my country’s peculiarities ad curiosities.
I’m a bass guitar player.

Music, Movies, and Books

My knowledge of Classical Music is as big as unconscious while the one concerning classic and psychedelic rock from 60’s is far more conscious and concrete. Recently I've been experiencing a bit of confusion as I’ve switched to a mix of trip hop, Funky, Electronic, Ska genres. For the present, Glass Animals, Gramatik, Digitalism, Justice, Jack Johnson and The Cat Empire are my favourite artists (as well as some very nice Italian bands).

Books:
- Currently reading: Mr. Mercedes (Stephen King)
- Last one: The last fortress (Bernard Cornwell)
The man who watched trains go by (Georges Simenon)
I particularly enjoy historical essays and magazines like National Geographic.
..and for some mysterious reason The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho keeps appearing in my "to read" shelf.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m a photography amateur and i'll be happy to share my ever-growing knowledge concerning the topic and discover new things and techniques.

I’m always looking for new ways of improving my English and I’m fascinated by French.

Every scientific - environmental - related topic would strongly gather my attention.
