*not enough time to give a couchsurfer in Parma a true and lovely experience so I decided not to host anymore for the moment*

Hi mates! I could describe myself as a very happy and positive person, I love life in every single aspect of it. I always face life with a smile, because my thinking is: if you give positivity to the world, the world will give positivity back to you :), so let's start smiling ! I lived in Australia for 6 months working as a bartender in a club and as a photographer. I travelled all the east coast, having a lot of amazing experiences. I just come back to my city (Parma) where I was born and bred, cause I simply LOVE IT :) !!! I am working full time as Export Sales Engineer in a Mechanical company based in Parma sorroundings and sometimes I travel around Italy and abroad for work. I am also working as a volunteer in the Erasmus Student Network (ESN-ASSI PARMA) Association in Parma (www.esn.org , http://assi.unipr.it/) to help students that are studying and living here. I've created the FACEBOOK PAGE "Couchsurfing Parma" where sometimes I post piece of advices about Parma, events, curiosities, actuality and it is gaining more likes every day...!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travel like a local, stay in someone’s home, host people of different nationalities enjoying time with them and experience the world in a way money can’t buy….

Make the world a little smaller, a little friendlier....

In a world where is so easy to be mean, appreciate who is kind...
