About Me

Hello everybody :)

I'm a 29 years old Italian guy, born and grown in Sicily and, in this life timeframe, living and working in Cyprus.

As a proud world citizen, I've been living and traveling in different countries to study and/or work, officially. Unofficially, my will to explore, meet new culture, experience the integration, know other people, challenge myself have brought me to start these new adventures, which have allowed me to grow and develop many new skills.

My passion for international politics and global cooperation project led me to study and graduate in such a field thanks to which I could enlarge my understanding of the actual global challenge, issues and matters. That's why I often like to spend time with friends to discuss about politics while cooking and eating tasty food, and drinking good wine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I first got into couchsurfing thanks to my brother who, while living together during the university period, has been hosting people from all around the world.

Since then, Couchsurfing became for me a philosophy to follow in today's open world, a way to help people get to know my culture and see things from a local's point of view, and a reference point when traveling and going around.

Mainly, I made use of Couchsurfing during my interrail trip around Europe during which I got to know an amazing community and experienced on my skin how beautiful is being welcomed by smiling people when getting in new places where I had never been.

That must be Couchsurfing :)

Interests

I'm a very easy going person, who loves traveling, cooking, discovering new places and experiencing new things.

I like spending nights with friends, talking about interesting topics varying from politics, books, music, movies, while drinking a good glass of wine.

One of the things I never get bored of and I always do, it's dedicating time to sports activities and nature trekking.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

What I Can Share with Hosts

The first thing I always want to share with the people I meet, it's cooking and let them taste good Italian food, coming from an old and poor Sicilian tradition. Then, while enjoying the food, I like to share the feelings and adventures I have been experiencing during my trip.
