(2023: world tripping, can't host)
ABOUT ME
Sharing is the best lifestyle to grow and to contribute to a better society.
I'm easygoing, very adaptable, with a good traveller experience, I love to listen, I'm talkative but not long-winged.
When I'm in Italy I like to welcome people and share the best things and people in the place where I live.
Always taking and leaving the needed personal time everyday.
🥾🏕️🏞️🧘🏻🧑🏻🍳🎶🚵🌳🌕✨🐢
I love hiking and nature, yoga and meditation, spirituality, cooking, music, and to knowing different culture and life stories.
I'm a medical doctor from Modena, and started to work in humanitarian in 2014, this job gave me less opportunities to host, but I keep doing it when I stop in Italy for a while.

PHILOSOPHY
Living with happiness, that is really felt only if shared, but even with the needed awareness to stand up and unite for everyone's rights.
Being the change you wanna see in the world, be the best example you can give.
Being aware we will not be there to live the change we want to see, therefor avoid attention-seeking actions and roll up your leaves to build up not a better, but a new society, not just for us, but for those that will come, that will be an other us.
Having less, living more, sharing way more, thinking together.
(Way) Better said, with Wendell Barry:
"Love the quick profit, the annual raise,
vacation with pay. Want more
of everything ready-made. Be afraid
to know your neighbors and to die.
And you will have a window in your head.
Not even your future will be a mystery
any more. Your mind will be punched in a card
and shut away in a little drawer.
When they want you to buy something
they will call you. When they want you
to die for profit they will let you know.
So, friends, every day do something
that won’t compute. Love the Lord.
Love the world. Work for nothing.
Take all that you have and be poor.
Love someone who does not deserve it.
Denounce the government and embrace
the flag. Hope to live in that free
republic for which it stands.
Give your approval to all you cannot
understand. Praise ignorance, for what man
has not encountered he has not destroyed.
Ask the questions that have no answers.
Invest in the millennium. Plant sequoias.
Say that your main crop is the forest
that you did not plant,
that you will not live to harvest.
Say that the leaves are harvested
when they have rotted into the mold.
Call that profit. Prophesy such returns.
Put your faith in the two inches of humus
that will build under the trees
every thousand years.
Listen to carrion – put your ear
close, and hear the faint chattering
of the songs that are to come.
Expect the end of the world. Laugh.
Laughter is immeasurable. Be joyful
though you have considered all the facts.
So long as women do not go cheap
for power, please women more than men.
Ask yourself: Will this satisfy
a woman satisfied to bear a child?
Will this disturb the sleep
of a woman near to giving birth?
Go with your love to the fields.
Lie down in the shade. Rest your head
in her lap. Swear allegiance
to what is nighest your thoughts.
As soon as the generals and the politicos
can predict the motions of your mind,
lose it. Leave it as a sign
to mark the false trail, the way
you didn’t go. Be like the fox
who makes more tracks than necessary,
some in the wrong direction.
Practice resurrection."
Interests
I love binding between different cultures (and off course same cultures!), nature, travelling, social commitment, playing music.
And listening, that is a big part of becoming.
Nature is all around our house, and I love to have walks in there, or even farer, as in the region we live beautiful and silent places are really easy to find out.
Mountains fascinate me, trekking and ski are a perfect way to live them.
I travel in every time I can, trying to live deeply the culture I'm getting closer to, respectfully.
Even better when it's possible to get together travelling and social commitment.
I play guitar and harmonica, with some friends we use to go playing on the streets, busking is a lovely way to meet people having that fun. And it's awesome when we can play with guests!
We have a nice orchard, and we are always looking to integrate our (small) knowledge about this.
Last but surely not least, I love to cook. Spending time in the kitchen, preparing good food (better if respectful of nature), is the best way to know each other, and to be even happier of eating.
And, like in every conversation, best served with a very good glass of red wine!
