ABOUT ME

I'm just a regular nice guy, interested in having fun, meeting people and travelling the world. People seem to enjoy my company, even if I can't understand why. My current occupation is to try and make humanoid robot behave like humans.

PHILOSOPHY

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
old time is still a-flying;
and the same flower that smiles today
tomorrow will be dying.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm looking forward to meeting people in different countries and learn all about their lifestyle and local customs.
I'd also like to be a guide for those who came in Tuscany and want to see something different than the usual tourist attractions.

Interests

Learning everthing that I can from books, art, films, travels, songs, life experiences and, more importantly, people. I'm also willing to share my knowledge with anyone who's interested!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living in Japan, climbing the Alps at dawn, travelling through the Australian outback.

Teach, Learn, Share

The things that I'll most likely be good at are teaching Italian and helping with computer related things, but if you want you can ask me anything and I'll do my best to satisfy your request.
I'd love to improve my English, and maybe learn some new languages.
I'm willing to share many experiences with others!
