Hi, my name is Giulio, I am an italian postdoc in mathematics who recently moved to Switzerland! I have recently embarked on a mission to learn to reach my toes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Now that I live in a spacious enough apartment, I would love to host travelers for a few nights; it would give me the chance to explore the surroundings with some company, and meet cool people. If you can teach me some recipe, bonus points for you! :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

While I work during the day (mostly from home, during these times), I am happy to go around with you during weekends or evening, and to dine and drink together :)

I can teach you how to cook pasta the right way ;) or risotto! Or help you with your math homeworks.
