About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Open my eyes and discover this big floating ball that we call Earth...

ABOUT ME

I'm 27 years old and I'm a Pisces. This tells you way more than you need to know, in case you participate in the mass cultural delusion that the sun's apparent position relative to arbitrarily defined constellations at the time of my birth somehow affects my personality.
Stellar influences aside, I can confess to you that I don't like to follow trends, I like to record noises and I cut my hair by myself.
I graduated with a degree in Sociology, but I'm not a sociologist.
I'm active in the electronic music circuits, but I'm not a musician.
I draw but I'm not an artist.
Thanks to the European Voluntary Service I lived one year of my life in a tiny incredible island, lost somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean, just few kilometres from the Arctic Circle: Iceland.
I'm currently trying to build my future.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

During my year in Iceland, my friends and I used to live in a big house in the capital area of Reykjavík.
We were a real intercultural family: 8 guys and girls coming from 7 different countries around the world (Mexico, China, Cuba, Thailand, Philippines, Lithuania, Italy) and we had many friends coming and going all the time! :)
It happened to have empty rooms and we also had a big living room, therefore there was space enough for friendly travellers and explorers...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I still don't have any experience as couch surfer, but I will soon! :)
While I was in Iceland I hosted a young traveller from Estonia, two guys from US and Japan and an explorer from Germany.

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC is my biggest passion.
I move freely from classical music to jazz, from IDM to broken beats, from the experiments of the fifties in contemporay music to noise, glitch and modern reductionisms.
Ok, I'm a bit nerdy, I know.

I love reading BOOKS (novels, musical essays, travels, formation...) and I enjoy the evenings spent watching MOVIES with some good friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking 9 hours in a icy, snowy, windy and freaking cold weather, to reach the top of the Fimmvörðuháls and enjoy the magic power of a volcanic eruption...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share with you my passion for music and I can teach you playing ping-pong (if we find a table)! :)
I want to learn new languages and the LIS (Italian Sign Language).

Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Egypt, Estonia, France, Georgia, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom
