I’m a PhD candidate in Urban Sociology at the University of Milan-Bicocca and will soon start a three-month research fellowship at the Centre Urbanisation Culture Société (INRS) in Montreal. My research focuses on cities, housing, and how young people experience urban life. I’ve previously lived in the UK, Ireland, and China, and I’ve always loved discovering new places by connecting with the people who live there.

Outside of work, I enjoy cinema, running, and having long conversations over a meal or a walk. I’m curious, open-minded, and really value the kind of encounters that travel and shared spaces can create.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’ve travelled quite a bit in the past and what I’ve always loved most about these experiences is the connection with people: sharing a meal, hearing someone’s story, learning about a place through the eyes of those who call it home.
