About Me

CURRENT MISSION

have fun

ABOUT ME

I'm vegetarian and I love animals. I like listening to good music while reading and drinking a good cup of (proper) tea. Unfortunately I never have the time to do that. Cooking and backing are my two favorite stress-relieve methods. I openly admit of being a cheese-aholic. I am a PhD student in Computer Science and I also work part-time for some scientific journals in physics.I love traveling! I really need to travel at least for a couple of days every other months: it's The Best stress relief!

PHILOSOPHY

In your life you always need a plan A. For everything.
Plan B (different from plan A) is necessary too.
Both plan must achieve the same goal.
If plan B is better then A, then switch.
Should plan B not be good enough, always look for plan C.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I've only been able to surf, cause the houses I've lived in were too small (and with no couch!) that I had no opportunity to host anybody. I'm now in the process of looking for a new house in Trento and I'll do my best to find a place that has some room for a couchsurfer. Being hosted has been fantastic so far so I can't wait to be able to experience the hosting side of this amazing community!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far thanx to couchsurfing I've met soo many nice people that I can't wait to couchsurf again!CS really gives me back faith. Faith in people I don't yet know :-)Keywords? be respectful, easygoing and free your mind.

Interests

I love traveling. Anytime I can, I try to jump on a plane and go to a new place. Even if it's just for the weekend.Now that I'm doing my PhD I definitely have less time for "realy traveling" but will do my best to keep on traveling.I love swimming, computer science and photography. I've recently started rock climbing: FANTASTIC!!I really love cooking and baking (my stress-relievers)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love 90' & 80's music (anything made in 90's). I'm not a big fan of movies but I do love several TV series (like NCIS, The Closer, Dr.House, Desperate Housewives, The big bang theory, 30Rock). I'm a big fan of crime books and some of my favorites writers are Harlan Coben, Patricia Cornwell, Kathy Reichs and Donna Leon.
