Hi, my name is Alessandro. I live in Perugia, a town in central Italy between Rome and Florence, famous for chocolate and jazz, as well as for its rich history (from etruscan to medieval). I grew in this special environment trying to catch each single stimulus and now I'm a Medicine student attending my hometown university and I'm graduated in flute at the local college of music. After the Highschool I worked (well, actually it wasn't free time for real) as a copywriter for a booking and event management agency. In 2016 - 2017 I spent a whole year studying in Bonn and travelling around Germany thanks to the Erasmus+ Program.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
If asked to sum up my attitude with one adjective I would say "curious". I love travels, whether I move across the world whether I listen to music, I watch a play at the theatre, I read a book in my bed or I eat something new that I had never tried. I'm on Couchsurfing basically because I love people, I love talking, experiencing different points of view and visiting cities and towns with an alternative lens.
Music, Movies, and Books
They're quite a lot, but I'll try to sum up my 3 favourite of each category. Music: 1) Gustav Mahler, and other classical stuff 2) Electronic & Avant Garde Music (Aphex Twin stuff, and lots more..) 3) Rock - especially Punk & Hardcore Punk - (Refused, Fugazi, Late of the Pier, Black Flag, Husker Du...) Books: 1) Il Gattopardo - G. Tommasi di Lampedusa 2) Notes from the underground - F. Dostoevskij 3) Der Zauberberg - T. Mann Movies: 1) Det sjunde inseglet / The Seventh Seal 2) Il sorpasso 3) The Black Cauldron
Teach, Learn, Share
Teaching: - cooking a real italian meal; - lots of things about music; - my tips about how to have lucid dreams; - italian language; - some medicine stuff. Learning: - I'm learning GERMAN, so, yes, I'm interested if you can talk to and correct me in that language; - even few words from the language of the places I visit; - to play new instruments; - anything you can teach me, I'm really curious!
My Interests
1) Travelling (you don't say!); 2) Music (I'm really open minded), I play the flute, the bass, the kalimba and synthetizers. I love going out to theatre and music hall listening classical music and I love hanging out among clubs (rock, electronic music... I love them all); 3)Visual Art; 4) Science; 5) Philosophy and debates; 6) Sports: I used to run foot races, now unfortunately I don't have enough time... 7) Cooking ... and eating. These tags aren't obviously in order of preference!
