About Me

I grew up in Italy and spent university time between Lausanne, London and Berlin.
I am now leaving in Berlin where I work for a start-up to bring solar technologies in developing countries and I teach chemistry to students from all over the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

At the moment I am traveling around Europe for work,
I have been traveling a lot in Colombia - and I learnt how different can be traveling when sharing moments with locals people. Why not trying the same in Europe now?

Interests

I am passionate about designing new projects and ways to make the world a better place - by little steps. I am interested in the energy transition, the startup ecosystems, sustainable innovations, and everything that makes science and technology a useful tool for society!

Trekking, camping, windsurfing, climbing, whatever can be done outdoor is the best I can do to disconnect the brain and enjoy life in the present moment.

Music, Movies, and Books

From classical, to jazz, electro, techno, cumbia to Italian songwriters music, I believe every genre has it's appropriate time to be appreciated!
Movies, I usually fall asleep!
Books, real stories of real people in real times are usually the ones that I fall in love with :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
