ABOUT ME

I have been a PhD researcher for the past 4 years and I don't remember the last book I read for sheer pleasure. I look forward to graduating in 2013, just so I can start reading for fun again.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been hosting friends at my place wherever I was (Dublin, Reykjavik, the Icelandic West Fjords, Bologna, Milan, Nottingham, and so on) although never as an official CSer. But I have travelled as one!, and visited Amsterdam, Toronto and some other places in Italy through CS.

Interests

Theatre, performance, cultural studies, foreign languages. Iceland, Iceland, Iceland. Also, I have an undying love for Skyr.

Music, Movies, and Books

I remain convinced that Fall on Your Knees (Ann-Marie MacDonald) is the best novel I have ever, ever read.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Crossing the Polar Circle in Iceland was the first turning point of my life. The second one was when I stood in front of the Canadian-US border at Niagara Falls. Yes - I do have a thing for borders, and crossing them, too.

Teach, Learn, Share

I make a mean italian tiramisu with a saffron twist and can teach you about it, although every traditional italian grandma would probably never even dare to try this version.
