About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Guess I am still figuring out my mission, the trip to Georgia helped me out. Looking forward to host you guys in Sthlm:))

ABOUT ME

Guess I am still figuring out my mission, the trip to Georgia is helping out.

Where do I start?

Polyhedric is the word describing me the most. My interests go from history of art, freak economics, boring politics to whisky tasting, baking muffins, running in forests, dancing techno music.

I am a true believer in Habermas; knowledge is built through discussion. Talking and sharing ideas on things is simply beautiful. Poststructural madness affected me as well.

My mother tongues are Italian and Swedish, something which reflects my nationalities. Scandinavia and the
Mediterranean sea are integral part of my soul; and getting affected by unusual geographic areas is indeed a passion.

I look forward to hosting and being hosted Dear Couchsurfers!

PHILOSOPHY

Philosophers: Jürgen Habermas's communicative rationality; Jeremy Bentham's Panopticon; Max Weber's spirit of capitalism; Søren Kierkegaard's decison making; Charles-Louis Montesquieu's climate theory; Elinor Ostrom's tragedy of the common; John Rawls' theory of justice; Steven Lukes's theory of power.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In Tbilisi I got to know Cristina Maza, an inspiring American/Spanish woman, who introduced me the couch surfing reality. We are now good friends and flat mates. Despite from craft witching black cats, everything is normal, I guess. !?!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Here in Tbilisi my flat mates and I hosted several interesting characters: Jordan and Neil hitchhiking from Canada; Galen from Alaska in love with the Balkans; Sophia an Evergreener from USA. Well, the discussions and fun I had with these guys is simply remarkable.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Before living to Tanzania I believed nuns were boring creatures...Tanzania proved me wrong, in Arusha I met the most hilarious nuns ever. Their b-party was a wave of singing and dancing. Also, they were pretty skilled in volley! ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I go back to Jürgen Habermas and the idea of building knowledge through an open and equal discussion.
