About Me

I'm the kind of the guy who's very curious about everything around because there's always something new to discover and (maybe next to you) unexpected people that could give you priceless advices.

After my High School's graduation, I've really started to think "outside the boxes" looking my world and the real one in a different way, something has changed. I'm feelin' great, free and full of energy, if I'm not studying for my tests I'm surely packing and ready to go for working away or embracing new community and projects, seeking new places and hang out with people in cutting edge situations.

Timothy! that's my name, 24yo, living in Italy, Lake Orta (Piedmont-North side) studying Economics in Pavia (I'm keen on business strategy and everything that has to do with innovative and fresh projects).

I do really like arts, not only as a common sense of beauty and aesthetic shapes research but mainly for the process that brings people to express themselves in a kind of production and also for the message that (maybe) are trying to deliver... Get it? If's not just try to contemplate "Amore e Psiche" of Canova and afterward ask yourself what kind of man would have been able to transfer all that harmony to an un-perfect statue... but if you don't know Canova you can feel something similar also with Banksy, a huge message for all of us (but without comparison, two completely different fields).

So, mixing a little bit of business knowledge with my one of my passions, I've established an organization named Migma Collective that deals with digital arts and music:

If music and visual arts seem my only points, I'll probably spellbound you telling that I love sports and especially going out for jogging!

Here's a bit of Tim
Hope to see you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Life goes so fast that I do not have much time to spend on the sofà usually, so this could be an amazing trade-off in order to get deeply in touch with new people, make great experiences and have a rest on some cozy couch... Joke!
But I really wanna discover new places, get in touch with people all around the world and have the opportunity to improve new languages.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One day my uncle and I without plans went parachuting ☺

Teach, Learn, Share

• Cooking lesson & Red wines:
I grew up in a lake district in the North of Italy (Piedmont), so for sure I'm going to suggest you some small firms that produce red wine...oh, you cannot drink red wine without a special Italian dish (I got always a lip-smacking recipe with me ;)
• Music tips:
I know how to melt and warm people's heart, music is the key!

⇨ I want to learn as much as possible, from your native language to your way of living.
P.s. Im very interested in clothes, so maybe I'm gonna ask you some spots to dig in!
