PHILOSOPHY

A cupcake in one hand, a beer in the other, and the backpack on the shoulders.Dear world, here we are!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We are waiting to travel and host as well :)

Interests

We like reading mostly books of literature (Luca prefers Hoffman, Lovecraft and Baudelaire, Franci likes García Márquez, Brontë and Woolf), but we don't disdain art books or critical books. If you stay a while in our house, you will notice that there is always a background music: we enjoy jazz, rock, blues, better if from the 60-70-80's! Luca is an artist, often involved in sketching in pencil; he also plays the sax! And Franci is learning to knit :3

Music, Movies, and Books

Well, talking about movies, I prefer action, superhero, or western movies, you know, where there are fights and shootings, free violence and explosions and shit like that, but I also like movies about drugs and psychology, or horror. One of my favourite is Fear and Loating in Las Vegas.Instead, Francesca prefers Japanese animated fantasy film (she is a huge fan of Hayao Miyazaki: she would like to become cute as Ponyo :3) or "strange" romantic stories like Juno or (500) days of Summer.About literature, I totally love Poe, E.T.A. Hoffman, Lovecraft and Baudelaire, but I read many other authors.Francesca reads a lot more than me, both for study and for passion. Despite this, she has few favorite writers & books: Yourcenar, García Márquez, Woolf, Bront, Saramago, and the Italian writers Erri de Luca and Italo Calvino.About music, Franci is in loop with The Smiths, Noah & the Whale, Regina Spektor, Radiohead, Yann Tiersen, Janis Joplin, and I'm totally in the 60's, with the Jefferson Airplane (ohgodhowmuchIlovethem!), Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Steppenwolf, Joe Cocker ecc, but I'm also in love with the entire Canterbury Scene, for example the Soft Machines, Caravan, Gong, Wyatt,the Matching Mole, National Health, Hatfield and the North and many else.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Franci has been less then five meters from the Queen of Netherland :DDYoda has appeared to me in the clouds. I swear.  (Luca)

Teach, Learn, Share

Luca is a masterchef, you know? I love his cooking and he's not jealous of his ability: he will teach you a simple but really tasty way to prepare meals! I'm pretty good in Italian and I like to explain the artistic and historical sites of the city, I can be your tour guide and a language teacher, if you like! (I'm also learning to knit, but the road to improve my technique is still long!)(Franci)
