CURRENT MISSION

Fix the balance...

ABOUT ME

Since I was young all the people call me "Otto" (that literally means "eight"); I started my life as a "good idea" of my lovely parents, then I became a beautiful quiet and soft child, then a lazy student but a good tennis player, then a involved university student (international law) and a baseball player, then a consultant and finally a CEO as a project manager... and a runner as weel!
I love (like everyone here) traveling all around the world, especially if I can do it with my motorcycle... the best would be traveling with my motorcycle on a photographic assignment... maybe in the next life! anyway, I love photograph too ("make" a picture not "take" a picture... it's always a pleasure discuss about that difference!) and recently I'm very lucky 'cause in the last few years the photography and my work started to do the same "way"!
I love people and I like discover the world through all the persons I meet (and I can photograph...).

[if you are thinking to send me a request, PLEASE read carefully the LAST BUT NOT LEAST of my couch description]

PHILOSOPHY

Mai prendersi troppo sul serio... in english is something like "you should never take yourself too seriously"

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like hosting people from all around the world, sharing my couch and listening their "vision of life" as well

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosting > travel all around the world without moving, see the place where I live with a different "point of view" and share a little piece of my life... :-)
Be hosted > be curious of everything, not asking my host (!) but trying to understand the place I visit "feeling" the situation

兴趣

Everything about culture... as I work as a cultural project manager, producing photo/video projects, I like read everything, go to the cinema/theater/museums/..., stay at home looking at a complete season of HouseOfCards/Shameless/BreakingBad/Viny/..., visit some festival all around the world, try to understand the identity and the heritage - the culture - of every place I travel... anyway, I love to be interested by everything, 'cause I think that everything could be interesting if you have the right approach.
