I am Valerio, half Swiss half Italian.I am Erasmus in Sweden and I am obsessed with Nordic countries and traditions and everything concerning the North, sorry for that :P.
I am doing a master in Translation and Literature and I work as a chef in a pub.
I like to talk with people and find out their lifestyle and ideas, I love to talk to someone that has different ideas so we can learn something.
I am really interested in hard topic as litterature or nowaday society but I am alway ready to party hard. You Only Live Once. Ready for some pasta?!

My Motto:
You create your own reality... but it should include three daily meals and one should be pasta!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Black Metal, 70s Rock, Ambient, Celtic Music, Hip Hop, Post-Rock, a bit of Hardcore, Classical... every association of tunes that makes me feel something.

Books: I am a books eater. I love the decadentism in its french expressions (Poets Maudits, Baudelaire), I also love English Romanticism (Coleridge, Blake). I like to read popular litterature like: Stephen King, Ken Follet and Chuck Palahniuk. It would be mainstream to say Tolkien or Martin because the movies spoiled my love for them.

Movies: The Crow, Green Street Hooligans, The Prestige, Excalibur, Vikings, Tim Burton and everything that has Depp or DiCaprio as main characters.
