About Me

CURRENT MISSION

move around, explore, meet, do stuff.

ABOUT ME

I am a positive person, most of the time. I like to socialize and have new experiences in life. I am very impulsive, sometimes it causes me troubles but I am learning to handle it :)
I am outgoing, I love talking, always have a smile on my face. I try to always look at the bright side of things, and am often described as a very energetic person.

I love activities such as biking, climbing, hiking, paragliding, to watch movies, read books, listen to music, travel and meet new people.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live, embrace everything (with hugs). Give and learn to receive.
Keep on changing, change change change is the essence of life! variety puts color in life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

?

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a PhD in environmental geochemistry, with a background in geology, so I hope to have some knowledge/experiences to share with somebody. I am currently doing a postdoc at the swiss light source, a synchrotron near Zurich.

I want to be able to share my knowledge with the world and end up working for what I studied, sort of. And keep learning different things. As said previously, change change change constant change :)

I have been around the world in different times of my life, I hope I can share some of those experiences, and learn from your experiences!

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can talk about anything, I can show you around, I can cook you something italian (tiny little bit of pride in that last statement :) ) and introduce you to climbing or places I know around (don’t yet know toooooo much about Zürich).
