Hey there! 28 y.o., I'm a Ph.D. Researcher and Teaching Assistant at USI - Università della Svizzera Italiana. Born and raised in Milano, before moving to Switzerland and in Academia I worked as Environmental Journalist and Qualitative Market Researcher. In the free time I hike around Alps, enjoying the pleasure of being surrounded by wild nature and peaks to conquer. I always have a book and a notebook in my pockets, wandering through cultural activities and travelling as much as I can. Tasting local dishes, discovering cultures and making new friends, of course. I'm quite eclectic, thus if you have an interest we probably share it, and, if not, I would surely be the most interested listener or learner you ever meet! :D

More info about me on my profiles @lucchefede (Instagram) and facebook.com/LucchesiFederico (Facebook). Please feel free to contact me there in case for any reason I wasn't answering on CS.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get some new exciting experiences while wandering around Europe! I'm looking for people who are born in the cities I'm travelling through and couchsurfing is a great way to approach local cultures saving some money!
