CURRENT MISSION

Dare il giusto peso alle cose...

ABOUT ME

Proudly Italian even if the italian voters of Mr Berlusconi are really challenging my love of country. Following my cosmopolitan attitude, I've studied International Relations, and worked for NGOs as a Project manager for developing countries. Nowadays I am back abroad as EXPA, working for International Cooperation...after living and working in Bergamo (kind of "fuxxing Bruges?"), for SMEs, when my travels were mainly for holidays, gathering with friends. In my free time, I used to relax watching movies, reading books and magazines, walking and trekking, playing guitar with friends and practicing Tai Chi (Taijiquan, Yang & Chen style).In Nairobi and Cape Town I must re-organize my schedule!

PHILOSOPHY

1.If we are not the solution, we are part of the problem. Let's try to sort it out! (unknown author)
2. There is no way to happiness:happiness is the way (heard from Marcello, Tai Chi teacher; probably a Buddha saying)
3. Everybody knows something is impossible until an ignorant arrives and do it. (A. Einstein)
4. Enjoy the corners of my squared mind
5."Fucking Bruges"... (or P.D. ad Vicent taught!)
6.My Word is my Bond
7. Elan Vital (yes,yes, yes, yes....)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've joined CS in 2008, I am surfing with great pleasure, and I will do my best to let it grow...hosting travelers when I am stuck in my hometown Bergamo. Because of Ryainair's flights in our local airport, Bergamo is becoming a top ranking landing spot. Well, the Upper Town is really cute..so it deserves an easy touristic walk. It will be my pleasure to take you around..or you can just watch the Skyline from my terrace!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I could officially appreciate CS these days in Sofia and Skopje for the first time, even if the unofficial practice was already developed between friends and colleagues since years. The web system of CS is amazing, and really powerful. The people I've meet are so positive, social and supportive... John Lennon must be blessing all of you guys!

Interests

Guitar (ukulele beginner) player; Tai Chi Chuan (Chen & Yang Style) student; I love to watch films in French and English; yes, I like to update my blog and keep in contact with friends; I love to travel, and taste local food (eventual animals should be possibly cooked, and at least already dead!).
