Description
Hi everyone!
I am a friendly, easygoing and warm-hearted boy. I grew up in a small village in the Italian Alps. Among my various hobbies I enjoy horse riding, hiking and rock climbing. I really love cooking, especially creating new recipes.
I studied computer science in Switzerland and worked as a computer engineer for some years. After that I left my job and decided to take time to travel and do different activities, in particular in contact with nature and animals, which I love.
I would be grateful to meet new people and know different cultures :)
