Overview
About Me
I'm studying for a PhD in energetic engineering about Renewable Energy Communities at the University of Pisa, Italy. This is my second year but I think that this is my way of research and curiosity. I love math and energy so this is the best opportunity for me.
I've completed my master's period in Milan at the Polytechnic University and I'm following a really interesting stream: Energy for Development, which should help the world to become better.
I've done student representative roles during high school and university because I care about student's rights.
Now, I'm also working in IREC, a research centre in Barcellona, which helps communities all around the country with projects on renewables and electricity.
I lived in a small town near Pisa since I was 18 but I decided to go away from my family because I needed to grow in a new and stimulating environment and Milan was a great choice.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
In 2016, when my best friend used to host some travellers and thanks to my English I was the only one who wanted to meet them all so I understood that this could have been a good way to speak English and meet new people in the same moment.
I understand now that is not just meeting but knowing about other people's culture and thoughts...
Since I was a kid I liked to meet new people and to know other cultures, so what's a better way that host them in my house or be hosted by strangers around the world?
Now that I live in Barcelona till July I have no mind-limits for the culture that I would like to know, if it could be possible I would like to meet some aliens too.
Interests
I'm a nerd so I loves videogames and computers but I play sometimes my acoustic guitar. I prefer rock or alternative music but in the last year I started to listen some techno stuff, as Sohn and The xx.
I really love to travel alone in place where I had never been before, because I think that you have to meet new people when you're traveling, not travel with people that you already know.
I really loves also arts because my father is a critic and my mother is a painter so if you like arts too I would be glad to lead you to the best museums in my town or to see your favorite.
Another passion is dancing and I really love clubbing so Milan is perfect for this.

Music, Movies, and Books
I love rock music, but I go to every kind of concerts.
My favorites groups since I was 10 are Pink Floyd, Genesis, Radiohead and R.E.M.
Now I have an Indie and Alternative moment, as Bon Iver, Cass McCombs, Alt-J and Kanye West.
I go ofter to cinema and film festival because I really love them since I was a child. My favorite movie is The Godfather and Apocalypse now. Actually because of the university I read less books but I really love fantasy and fantastic books.

I did a shamanic experience in Peru.

I slept two night in the middle of the amazon jungle.
