Hi! Alessandro here. :)
I am a 29-year-old Italian guy currently living and working in Rome.
I was born in Bari, in the South-eastern part of the peninsula. I have lived in many different cities since the end of high school: Bologna, Ancona (in the centre-north of Italy), in the UK (London) and in China (Beijing) for a short period.
I have travelled across roughly 20+ countries of the world and will be travelling, from August 30th to September 15th 2024, across 8 different states of the United States.
Among my main passions, I am part of a theatre lab for which we have events in Rome throughout the year. As a group, we write short stories and then learn them by heart. I also like going to the gym, swimming, reading, learning foreign languages, cooking.
See you soon!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am currently looking for a host for the night of September 13th in Santa Monica, California.
I myself can host travellers in the city centre of Rome, near the main station of Termini.
