I'm a very outgoing boy, an extrovert too but depends by feeling and situation, "Adriano Meis" is not my real name is just my alter ego stolen from the book "Il Fu Mattia Pascal" by Luigi Pirandello

I'm a traveller rather than a tourist, I think it is much better to stay with local people than be hidden in hotel.

# Simple rules if you want I host you
1) Tell me with a good time notice of your arrive and departure. During week I could work so we have to have just a bit organization :-)
2) We will have a videocall to meet each other BEFORE accept to hosting you, and I have to decide if yes.
3) If I host you, I appreciate if you show me your ID/passport card and obviously have to respect me, respect my family, respect all :-)
4) Is better if you have a little flexible plan, if you haven't we can plan together, I can propose you activities and places to visit :-)
5) During planning I will show you all timetables and costs (ig. bus ticket or something like that ) if exists. Obviously If during activities we will have some costs, we will split fifty-to-fifty.
6) Ask to me in PM my real name, so I can see you read my bio
7) Don't smoke in house, I prefer if you don't smoke in general :-)
8) You have to pay NOTHING for my hospitality, no breakfast/sleeping/water/lunch/dinner costs. But please be polite :-) Tell me in time if you are vegan/vegetarian or if you have any intollerance so I can have time to organize
9) I'm free in weekend, others day I could work. So respect my times :-)
10) if I accept to host you (expecially 1month before as happened) and then you change idea on last minute, I will leave you a negative review. Please consider I will plan my days on your trip and I will reject other couchsurfing requests because belive to hosting you.. So be respectful of me and couchsurfing community 🙂
11) If I host you in my house, please don't let me feel like a "stranger".. That's not a BnB, if you come in south of Italy, try to get the feeling and the culture of South Italy peoples, most of us are extrovert/expansive, we speak with gesture (sometimes touching friendly your arm, your shoulder or else), please don't feel offended if, in general, an italian south boy looks more extrovert :-)
12) Please don't use your smartphone near to me, I leave you all free time do you want to, but if you share time with me don't "WhatsApp/Instagram/Facebook/else".. that's unrespectful for me :-)
13) Let's enjoy! This moment is to meet each other culture, not to be sad about our personal life. Don't be thoughtful :-D

# COUCHSURFING -BAD- ESPERIENCES
1) Martino Mazzola - https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/martino.mazzola
I been hosted by his housemate not by him so he was not directly connected to my couchsurfing
Anyway after some misunderstunding, at the end we solved all problems, but he left me "negative" feedback during the dispute

2) Julia Schwarzkopf - https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/julia.schwarzkopf
Never hosted!
23 days ago we accorded to host her as couchsurfing in my house from 18th to 24th June. On 18th at 14:00 she text me saying "I decided just now to stay in Puglia.. (don't come to you) That's my instinct.." No problem for me, but I planned my vacation on her hosting as a good couchsurfer and I rejected other couchsurfing requests because to hosting her. After my negative feedback, she left me a negative one as an infant, although when she texts she to me on whatsapp she apologized with me about this situation.

3) Karina Kira Okhrimenko - https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/kira-okhrimenko/
I hosted her. She arrived to me on 21st August 2019 at 20:28, she gave to me 3 gifts and she made me very happy! In my couchsurfing experience only she and I have done that!
I showed her the house, her private spaces ( her personal bathroom, her personal room ) and then we went to supermarket as she asked me to. She respected my rules, saying that they are very easy and normal rules. She ask a lot about me and my previous experience in couchsurfing, she speaks a lot, that's a good thing!
But she was tired so I just showed her the main street of my city and a small castle in a near village.
After this first day, couchsurfing with her had no more experience... She went to Pompei, I asked her pics of Pompei (because for me couchsurfing is friendship and sharing experiences) but unlucky her phone was low battery... she discovered that an aunt of hers was in Salerno and she decided on last minute to go to Rome with her, which was not in her initial plan, so she didn't come to me... but she left her luggage at my house, so I tried to solve this by taking her things to her in Salerno but I had a problem too, so... she decided to sleep in Angri, a far village of Salerno (without taking a ride with her aunt) making me very confused during texts too... If that night she had decided to come back in my house I could have found a solution to help her, but if you have problem because you decide things on last minute that makes me a bit angry and I feel offended as a couchsurfer and as a person...
The 23rd of August she arrived to me from 16:51 to 18:00, just to take her luggage... I tried to speak about what happened because of her last minute choices but she seemed not interested... I explained my point of view and she didn't... I told her that this couchsurfing made me very sad, expecially because she started well (Ukrain presents like culture sharing) and expecially because she asked me about my CS bad experiences... so... why did you do the same bad thing? (decision on last minute without plan with me)
My couchsurfing with Kira was just 3 hours...
My couchsurfing with Kira's luggage was 3 days... Maybe she used me to host her luggage? Who knows...
I left her a neutral feedback not negative, hoping that it could be useful for her to learn from mistakes and not to ruin her the possibility of doing couchsurfing in the future, instead she anonymously reported me on couchsurfing without any valid reason! An unstable person

*** I decided to stop my couchsurfing hosting until I can find respectful people. ***

I live in a small flat with my family, so it's a bit hard for me to host people... But if you really need a place to stay, I might be able to host you for a short stay !
If I will host you, consider that my parents speak only in italian! :-P so or you speak in italian with them or with your gesture in a very funny situation! :-D
