CURRENT MISSION

On my way to myself

ABOUT ME

Born and spending most of my life in Rome, I recently relocated to Brussels (Bruxelles), where I'm working as a Senior Consultant for the European Commission.

I'm a busy and active person, always up for unexpected things and activities.
I sometimes organize parties, dinners or even conferences at my place.
I like to play piano and sing all the time, but I stiso be prepared for random home concerts!

I am a martial artist, practicing kung fu since 2002.

I LOVE traveling, especially on my motorbike, with or without a known destination.

PHILOSOPHY

THE BEST IS YET TO COME.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been hosting and surfing since 2008.
There are too many words I should say, too many stories I should tell.

Whatever... CS changed my life. Love it.

Interests

Martial arts, playing Piano (eventually screaming italian songs meanwhile), my Yamaha XJR 1300 (and my good old BMW R850R), photography, chess, writing, reading, cooking, training, eating, drinking good wine in a bar, smoking a good cigar when in the right mood, silently listening to good music, staying alone and thinking, staying together and dreaming about future.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 26 I travelled all around Europe with my motorbike. I drove for 50 days and reached 11 countries... and even managed to work in the meanwhile (people at my company thought I was in my office. doh)

When I was 18 and moneyless I used all existing vehicles in a single day to make 900 km to meet the girl I was in love with.

[home] -> Motorbike, train, boat, car, plane, train, motorbike -> [home] ... all in 24 hours. I'll never forget that experience.

Another crazy thing I did? Check out
