CURRENT MISSION

Studying film in Prague, because my main goal in life is to make films

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in the countryside directly outside Florence (Italy) by my Italian dad and New Yorker mom, both professional flautists, who passed on their love for music to me. I play electric guitar, and until college played in a rock band, playing several gigs, a time of my life that I still cherish. I also enjoy writing/producing (on my laptop) music of different genres (indie, electronic, punk, grunge), when I have time.

I've been studying in Baltimore for the last two years, and currently studying film in Prague for the fall semester of 2014.

I love Skateboarding, been doing it for a few years now, the sense of fulfillment it gives me still amazes me every day.

I want to make films when I finish my degree in International Relations and Film and Media studies in 2016, and hope to be able to make a living that way, in or outside the entertainment industry.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy every day like it's your last.
I'm not trying to prove something to people, I'm trying to enjoy life and learn from people and experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Though I'm very new to couch surfing, I'm not new to the practical idea of staying over at friends, friends of friends' places, as well as giving a place to stay to those in need that have come to me. I feel like I am well acquainted with the respect and curiosity that couch surfing necessitates, and can't wait to meet more people through the potential experiences I will be able to get.

I also was filming a documentary in southern Italy in summer of 2014 for three weeks, and had to stay over at numerous different places, volunteer camps, people's homes, which I hadn't necessarily met.
