Ciao,
I’m Alberto, a photographer based in Padova, Italy. I love saying yes to random adventures, travelling and meeting new people. Some of the best experiences I’ve had started with a simple conversation with a stranger.

When I travel, I’m all about spontaneity, and good company. I love discovering hidden gems, whether it’s a cosy little café, a breathtaking hike, or just a quiet spot to watch the world go by. I also have a soft spot for the ocean and anything that involves road trips.

If you're into photography, we can totally geek out over cameras, or I can show you my favorite photo spots around town. If not, no worries—we can just grab a drink and talk about life, travel, or whatever comes up!

If you're passing through Padova and need a local friend (or just a good pizza recommendation), hit me up. I’m always happy to share a meal, swap stories, or help you experience the city in a way that feels a little less touristy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea of connecting with people beyond the usual tourist experience. Traveling, for me, isn’t just about seeing new places, it’s about the people you meet along the way.
