About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Eat a diversity of delicious food, and get to know cities around the world

ABOUT ME

I am an easygoing person. My favorite moments tend to be sitting around the dinner table, whether with family, close friends, or new acquaintances. I would love to cook dinner for you. We will tell each other stories. There will be laughter.

I work to make cities more sustainable, currently by improving public transportation in the US.

In a nutshell: I'm a sustainability nerd, foodie, occasional concert-goer, amateur photographer, comedy lover, generally open-minded person, and by most accounts a pretty chill guy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only surfed once before -- but it was great, and I'm looking forward to participating more!

Really excited about food (mostly vegetarian), and exchanging funny stories.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a lot of music, and go to concerts with some regularity. A sampling of things I like is at: www.hypemachine.com/zaccuardi

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every family meal at my grandparents' house.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you a lot about climate, energy, and sustainability if you're interested. I studied engineering and policy, both with focuses on the environment.

At home, I usually have home made ice cream in the freezer - and I would be more than happy to teach you about that (or just share some ice cream)
