Overview
About Me
I'm an English-Italian geology graduate taking that's travelling in Europe before starting a job in London. I love nature, culture, art, and interesting discussions
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love to meet locals and experience a place with an insider. I much prefer getting to meet the inhabitants of a country rather than just interacting with people involved in the tourist industry

Music, Movies, and Books
Big fan of metal, trance, electronica, indie music, hip hop, as well as opera and classical music.
I like Italian and French films, as well as horror and fantasy films. Bit of a sucker for silent and early cinema.
I like too many books to mention here, but some favourites include LOTR, Song of Ice and Fire, Wicked, and I love classics like Dracula, Ulysses, Paradise Lost, Carmilla,
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Paragliding in Himalaya near Dharamsala, Himachal Pradesh, India 🏔
Teach, Learn, Share
Can teach English, Italian, Earth Sciences; I love to learn new languages and local cultures (and maybe some new cooking skills, if poss)
What I Can Share with Hosts
Good cheer, great chat (I like to think), and maybe some nice chai ☕️
But more likely, I will give some nice food 😀
