About Me

[Student of Economics and Social Sciences. Gardening and sports are my greatest hobbies. You can sleepover on my couch in my flat. The neighborhood is nice and quiet but in the middle of the city.
I am a real Buongustaio as we Italians say, so culinaric gifts are appreciated. I can speak and understand various languages.
