CURRENT MISSION

Seriously, I don't know.

ABOUT ME

As a proud representative of the Homo Sapiens Sapiens species I like to fill my stomach with good food, my head with awesome ideas and my life with happiness. Plus I like dinosaurs, making new friends who like dinosaurs, and pizza.

I am an atheist and a hacker; my life has a punkrock soundtrack and my favorite writer is Sir Terry Pratchett. I do not care about your gender or the gender of who warms your heart or bed. People are just people, everyone in their own way. Douchebags and fascists not welcome, tho.

I lived in NYC for a while (best place in the world) and there I had some of the most amazing days of my life, partly thanks to couchsurfing.com and its amazing community.

I am a nice, easygoing, openminded and welcoming citizen of the world of the Italian persuasion. Handsome too, and modest :)

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short, stop worrying and enjoy yourself.

Living like the main character of an intersting book/movie is a nice way to put days one after another: even misfortune can be nice, if you have chance to tell people how funny was to survive your troubles.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am not as active as I used to be back in the days when I hosted a lot of surfers in my old apartment in Pisa.
Since then I have met many more and surfed around Europe and made new cool friends thanks to CS while in the US.

As soon as my life gets a more steady pace I'd love to be part of the troops again. Until then, mail me if you want to hang out where I currently am.

CouchSurfing brought an extra dimension in my life. Thank you horribly-looking-yet-wonderful website :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met some of the most wonderful people in my life thanks to this CS thing. I mean: it's really about building a better world, a couch at a time, not just for free accommodation.

Interests

Science! Drama and Comics, Music [I used to play sax in a ska band] and Cinema, Games and Food, Toons and Driving, Photography and Kinbaku, Philosophy and Chocolate.
I practised Jujutsu and Aikido and read a lot. This means I am an interesting person, for you people who trust what's written on a profile :)

I like to chat too, better if two or more topics at once and learn new amazing intersting things man-wasn't-meant-to-know.
I usually don't drink much and I never smoke.

Teach, Learn, Share

Cooking is something I love: sharing and learning recipes, eating weird things from all over the world, exploring deep misteries of ethnic food are things that make life interesting.

I can fix your computer, help you with math and physics exams and teach you how to build a tesla coil from scratch.
