About Me

CURRENT MISSIONS

ABOUT ME

I am exactly like George Clooney in Up in the Air, except that my job is not to fire people. Also, I am nowhere as cynical as he is. I am constantly working on how to make my life more awesome day after day. Succeeding so far, let’s see where’s the limit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted quite a lot of people in Milan, then not so many in Berlin. Then I traveled too much too quickly to be able to host.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to a non touristic island in Indonesia. Everybody loved me and wanted to take pictures with me (mostly girls). A pregnant woman asked me to touch her belly to bring her luck.
The return ticket from the UK was very cheap, I didn't expect it to also include such a huge confidence boost.

Teach, Learn, Share

Italian language, photography, Photoshop, nuclear physics, and surely a lot of other things I can't think about now
