'If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.' H.D.Thoreau

The world fascinates me: I've left a part of me in every place I've been and I've taken a part of every place I've loved in exchange. I've taken the stars from the Chilean night, the sand of Rubjerg Knude and the stones of Vòlcan Osorno, the blue walls of Jodhpur and the white branches of Patagonia, the pebbles of an Irish wild beach and the sand of Atacama, a salt crystal of Uyuni and the shell of a Sicilian cave.

I've lost myself in Hanoi, Ahmedabad, Sarajevo,
and Valparaìso.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the wonderful variety of feelings, stories and sensitivities brought together by couchsurfing. I like to share moments with other people, listening to their very own visions, I like to 'see a world in a grain of sand'.

Interests

I studied architecture but I'm interested in everything else :P
Art, literature, cinema, hiking, music, skiing...

Right now I am trying to combine my interest in architecture and travel with a research project called Spaces like Actions, collecting an atlas of spaces, specific of different cultures, from all over the world: https://www.instagram.com/spaceslikeactions/
