I am young Italian man living in Barcelona. I am cheerful and smiling person with a positive attitude. I traveled a lot during the almost-quarter of century I lived on this small globe. I had the chance to meet very different people, cultures and views and I've always tried to absorb all the best of them while keeping my mind open.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will soon embark on a some-month-but-I-do-not-know-exactly-how-many trip in South America, starting from Buenos Aires, all the way down to Ushuaia. There I'll start to go up, up, up through Argentina and Chile. I am planning to arrive in San Pedro de Atacama and from there enter in Bolivia and then Peru. I'll probably stop in Lima, or maybe continue through the Amazon and enter in Colombia and end my trip in the warm Caribbean city of Cartagena.

I hope our we'll cross our paths and text me if you want to hear my story of just have few drinks or an hot coffee!

Interests

I am interested in travelling and living in different places where I can experience different customs and culture. I don't like to define my self as a traveler simply because what I'm interested in is not visiting different countries, but living the place where I am, in the local people's way. Learning about their culture and understanding the dynamics that make people different all over the world. That's why I'm interested in anthropology and sociology, even if I was trained as en economist.

I love to chill out with my friends, drinking good beers, sailing and playing guitar and singing.

Music, Movies, and Books

Blues, Jazz, Rock'n'roll, Funk, Groove, Afrobeats, Ska, italian singer-songwriters.. almost everything sounds good.
