About Me

I am based in Milan, Italy where I am pursuing my Master's in electronics. I love cinema and music and can talk about them for days without a break hahaha. I am studying engineering but am very involved with art in different forms. DJed actively for a while alongside doing fire performances (flow arts not just fire). I also produce music even though I am not there yet, wherever "there" is.

An important perspective that helped me a lot: There are no best choices in life, it is not possible to know what is the best choice and we are simply very capable of tricking ourselves that we do know. I just ride the flow.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am only looking for a couch and positive vibrations!!!

Music, Movies, and Books

Pink Floyd and The Prodigy are the pillars of my two distinct persona, you get the picture. Then the list ranges from [60s - 90s] rock to Trip Hop to Nu-Gabber-Post-Techno-Punk and beyond :P

Almost all films by Kubrick and Aronofsky left me in awe. Some favorite titles: 'A Clockwork Orange,' 'Requiem for a Dream,' 'The Holy Mountain,' and 'Naked Lunch'

Infinite Jest is something else.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once traveled 2000km in 48 hours only by ground with scant and sparse naps (to catch my graduation ceremony) and even found the time to grab a Sunday breakfast with some old friends along the way.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot about rock and electronic music history and would love to share about it if you are interested.
I love talking about history, philosophy, and psychology as every person has a different set of knowledge so everyone can learn something from each other. There is always more to life and whenever you think you know enough it comes around to surprise you.

I find sharing small, trivial knowledge to be very treasurable. Once a Slovenian group taught me to create sparks with flint powder and a lighter and I have been passing around this knowledge ever since. It always creates sparkles both in the air and in the eyes of people who see it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love getting souvenirs from the places I visit and passing them around :) It is an easy way to share happiness and also a good application of my "never travel heavier than yesterday" policy.
+ I can teach you juggling :) I have a very good success rate at this!
