Description

Hello everyone, my name is Manuel, I am a 27-year-old Italian guy from Genoa who is now living in Verona to study for a Master's degree in Environmental Biotechnology, because I want to learn about the world of environmental sustainability and how to apply it.

I have been part of a scout group all my life, so camping, hiking and improvisation are experiences that I have assimilated well over the years.

My first experience of travelling alone was when I lived in Spain for almost a year, volunteering in a nature-friendly school.

I am someone who has always loved travelling and meeting new people. I am very curious to try new activities outside my comfort zone and to help people in any kind of activity.
I think I am a very sociable person and I adapt easily to different situations without too many problems. I love community life and sharing experiences and ideas.

I don't have a driving licence, so I rely heavily on public transport.
I am an occasional smoker, but I have no problem quitting for periods of time (perhaps even better!).
