Hi there, I live in Oggiono, a small village near Como Lake, in the north of Italy. I'm studying Geography at the university and in my free time I love to enjoy the outdoor, there are lots of mountains, lake and trails in my areas and it's wonderful to explore all this beauty around. I love to orient myself with a compass and a map and navigate out of the beaten path. And camping outside too, indeed! I'm also an handball player, I play for a local team in the second league. I'm definitely into music, I play the guitar and the violin, I adore to play music with my friends, around a campfire maybe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing cause I think the best way to discover a country is from locals' eyes. Love to live with them knowing new people and new perspectives. And also I think that sharing is a great way to travel cheaply!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a kind of busy life: I go to Milan to the university during the week, handball trainings 3 times a week in the night, handball match in the weekend. If you are lucky I might have the time to go hiking with you and to show you the beautiful area where I live. I definitely avoid towns and busy places, really prefer quiet and silence. I'll probably have more time to hang out in the night and grab some beers together!
