CURRENT MISSION

Think Globally, Act Locally

ABOUT ME

I am open minded and friendly, respectful of other people and always attracted by new cultures. I believe that (auto) irony is a great thing and men should not take themself too much seriously.

PHILOSOPHY

There is one passage in the "Divina Commedia" of Dante Alighieri which gives an insight of my thoughts:
"Fatti non foste a viver come bruti ma per seguir virtute e canoscenza" that is "Consider well the seed that gave you birth: you were not made to live as brutes, but to follow virtue and knowledge."

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The next one will be the first one.

Interests

Going to concert (rock, avant-garde, classical composer) and movie theater. Playing guitar, flute & rugby. I love trekking and walking in the snow, in general being surrounded by nature. 20th century history.
Cooking and experimenting in the kitchen is another great passion.
