About Me

I'm a positive, spontaneous guy, always try to look at the bright side of things.
I was born in Livorno, a sunny Italian town by the sea; and lived in many places such as Pisa, Leeds, Seville, Malaga, Tenerife (Canary islands).
I use to travel and live in many countries thanks to the fact that I'm a professional guitarist giving concerts, guitar lessons, and performing as a street artist too.

Things I like most to arrange on my guitar are rock - pop such as Beatles, Queen, Michael Jackson, and many others; and movie soundtracks (such as game of thrones, Amelie Poulain, Godfather, Ennio Morricone); some Flamenco, as well as my own compositions.

Cooking is another passion I have. Mostly Italian dishes ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a great idea that gives oppurtunity not only to surf a couch, but also meet cool people, learn and teach anything from other cultures, as well as learn languages!

Interests

I have a curious and explorer soul; and am always willing to try something new.
I like art in general, as well as artistic and creative people.

Other interests are: Skiing, star gazing, exploring nature, sunsets, northern lights (Aurora borealis), reading, exploring cities, exploring nature, dancing, aaand so on..
