To get to know new people, make new experiments, and see places beyond the classic tourist locations. Update: I really got to know many nice and interesting persons through Couchsurfing in Germany, where I had a perfect apartment to host people, but also here in Italy, especially through the “Drink,Speak and Share” events. I really want to keep up that spirit and witness more of those moments and memories in the future.

I listen to almost all genres, mostly to all kinds of rock, 90s and 2000s, but also to jazz and classic. But I have to point out "Seattle’s best kept secret" the singer and songwriter Shawn Smith and his bands, Satchel and Brad. Listen to one of their many great songs: "Wrapped in my Memory, Mr Pink, Suffering ..." One of my favourite films is probably “Mine Vaganti” by Ferzan Ozpetek. I like those Wes Anderson movies and “coming of age movies” But like with my music taste I’m pretty open to a lot of stuff, maybe no splatter. Recently watched “I lost my body” and have to recommend it. I prefer historical novels, for example Noah Gordon’s and Ken Follett’s books and probably more unknown Rosemary Sutcliff’s great novel “The eagle of the Ninth” Then I absolutely love the thrillers by Patricia Highsmith, especially “The two faces of January” and last but not least I'm a bit of a nerd when it comes to Jim Butchers urban-fantasy “The Dresden Files” series.
