Hi there!
My name's Alex and I'm a web-multimedia designer/photographer/all-round-ITcommunication-consultant from Italy.

I live in Piacenza a small city south of Milan, close to the hillside, in the beautiful "Emilia", a region well known for Food, Ferrari and... Fun people (well, actually I had in mind a different 3rd F, but it's in Italian and not really easy to translate) ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to meet new people while I travel abroad and have a chance to share some insight in different lifestyles from the places I'll go to.
I've always loved to get in touch with the locals in all of my travels, I guess couchsurfing will be a good way to keep doing so.

Interests

Outdoor sports have always been an important thing in my life.
I've been practising Whitewater Kayak for over 20yrs. I also love trekking and other (water) sports like canyoning and rafting.

Photography is one of my greatest passions. I'm shooting pictures since I was 9yo and, right now, I'm active in my city with an association that promotes courses, exhibitions and authors meeting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Only one? Eheh... Let's go for a couple at least:
- Run a 20 meters high waterfall in my kayak
- I got one of my pictures published on a giant board in Times Square NY

Teach, Learn, Share

Actually I've been teaching (even professionally) several different things for a very long time.
For sure I can help you with Photography, Retouch, Post production (I'm a former Adobe Photoshop trainer).

If you're interested in outdoor sports (and if we can find some equipment ^_^') I can teach you how to use a canoe/kayak in flat or whitewater.

If you're interested in learning Italian and want to chat, or if you want to know more about Italy here I am! ;)
