About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trying to apply this gospel verse: "This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine!"

ABOUT ME

A friend said to me once: "the good thing about Italians is that they are easygoing. The bad thing about Italians is that they are easygoing."
I think it applies a bit to me :-)

PHILOSOPHY

"Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better." (S. Beckett)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

With beers/wine/cocktails :-)?
I can also show Hamburg around, I start to know it a bit.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A really good friend of mine introduced to her group of cs friends in Milano and always had a good time with them. I also went surfing with her once and I really enjoyed it. Now I'm attending some meetings in Hamburg, tomorrow we'll see.. :-)

Interests

Argh this is difficult.. In a (not so random) random order:
- Food: good food makes me happy! You can see me crying when eating a good pizza. Love to try different cookings and recently I started loving cooking for my friends.. Italian recipes of course :-)
- Singing: love singing around the whole day, you start a sentence and I finish it singing.. But beware, I'm not good at it :D!!
- Partying: ok.. is there anything to explain :-)?
- Nerd stuff: I'm a mathematician and I'm not ashamed of it, I can just laugh alone for one hour reading phdcomics or xkdc, or spend an evening with my friends discussing stuff that nobody else cares about.
- Hiking: love the feeling of arriving at the destination with your own strength, going through amazing places that you could not reach if not on foot.
- many other, like photography, opera, cinema, languages.. let's leave some surprises :)
