Just an extrovert and open-minded italian guy! 😎 Recently got back home after four years in South America (three years in Colombia and one in Ecuador). 🛬 I now work at a museum in Padua (Padova), if you visit the city let me know so I can possibly (depending on work) show you around the coolest spots 📸 My motto is: get out of your comfort zone! ➡
Interested in Art
Interested in Board games
Fluent in German
Learning Arabic
My perfect Sunday is...
Andare al cinema, leggere qualcosa e fare un po' di movimento.
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
To meet new interesting people and learn about other cultures and traditions. 🤗
Music, Movies, and Books
In general I prefer latin music, I have loved reggaetón since before it was mainstream. If you put Shakira on I can't contain myself and I will start dancing like a fool. 💃🏽 I love Ken Follett since his books are a good compromise between romance and history, you can learn something while enjoying a love story for example. 📚 As for movies my prefered genres are biopics, historic movies, horror and fantasy, but I watch a bit of everything. Harry Potter is and will be forever in my heart (both books and movies)! 🎥 I also love TV series, my favourites are Game of Thrones (the whole franchise), Desperate Housewives and Lost. 📺
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I had many experiences in my life but probably the coolest was getting into Berghain in Berlin (not everyone can enter, the selection is pretty though), even if I am not exactly a fan of that type of music and vibes. 🕶️
Teach, Learn, Share
I would love to teach you the things I know about art, if you visit my region Veneto (Venice, Padua, Verona) I am probably the best tourist guide you can get. 🎨 I also love to learn about others, the way they live and the experiences they had. I always want to learn more about the languages I speak and keeping them trained. I am even open to learn new languages. 🗣️ I can share my time and even my space if you are willing to go deep into the venetian countryside. 😆
What I Can Share With Hosts
My language knowledge, speaking about my experiences in foreign countries and I can cook pasta!🍝
My Interests
I am an art historian so my world is art, especially until the XVIII century. My focus is on italian Baroque. But apart of that I am a guy that always wants to discover more of the world we live in so I love to read, meet people, travel, play chess, watch tv series, going to and watching big events (I went already to Eurovision, not a fan anymore, and the Winter Olympics). ☺️
