Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I went to Porto (Portugal) hosted by a Brazilian guy and his friends and i have to say it: it was the BEST travel i've ever had!

I was also hosted by a great guy in Madrid, he helped me in to get out of a bad situation and i am so thankful to him

Interests

I study ancient languages and literature but i'm interested in all humanities! I love writing, for me it's a way of life, and connected to this there's the theme of journeys: writing and travelling, travel to write and write to tell my experiences. I also do poetry, my first book is going to be published by the editor "L'arcolaio" in Forlì (Italy).
I love music and i'm a drummer so...if someone wants to play he's welcome!

I am the head of an italian poetry review called Fischi di Carta, here's the website: www.fischidicarta.it and i write on several newspapers.

Music, Movies, and Books

Reading everything. Read poetry and prose, all you can!
I listen to all sort of music but i don't like metal and hardcore...my favourite kind of music is american rock such as Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Ryan Adams and so on.
I'm not an expert of films, i follow the trends but i can say that i likeso much Woody Allen, Nolan and Sorrentino.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The period when i lived in Madrid from June 2012 to January 2013, i still going often there, i love Spain and all the Iberian peninsula

In Portugal i swam in the Ocean at sunset in December, it was amazing...and cold!
