About Me

💼 🎓 👔 🇪🇺
✈️ 🏖️ 🌍 🌃

Italian, passionate about Sports, Travel, Politics

🤓👔 Engineer, and also graduated in political sciences, economic sciences, and expert in European affairs. I'm a positive person, open-minded curious to discover new places and new people, I like learning new things and cultures. In my spare time, I'm writing my first novel✒️. Training for triathlon🥇🚴🏊🏃 is my go-to stress relief. I'm an avid reader of the Economist📉🤯. I keep up-to-date with politics but try to stay out of the drama. I've been to 🛫 86 countries🧳. My favorite vacation spot is Barcelona. There’s nothing like a little siesta 😴to keep the party going all night😎🥂.

I used to live in Turin, London, Melbourne, Sydney, Montreal, Cairo, Mexico City, Bordeaux and Bruxelles. Now back in Italy in Brescia.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Plenty, but a few small samples:

Meet the "Real Santa" at the North Pole, and have seen the northern light in Rovaniemi.

Take the Shinkansen (the Bullet Train in Japan)

Diving in the Australian great reef

Did alone in my first IterRail!! From Istanbul to Stockholm and back to Turin having seen wonderful places that I will never forget and having known a lot of new friends

Celebrate St. Patrick in Dublin, have fun starting to drink in the local pub from 3 pm dancing and singing local songs with people completely green (me included) and dressed like the Irish tradition

Celebrate and live the Winter Olympics 2006 of Turin, my wonderful city

Singapore to Moscow by land, 20.000 km, and all Trans-Siberian in winter.

Teach, Learn, Share

- I can tell you all about my city: from history to architecture to sports ecc...

- I love to share my travel experiences, speak about a place and see if you have the same opinion, get useful information for my next adventure

And so much more of course....as well I'd like to learn plenty from people around the world

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer a stay in a magnificent residence in the centre of Bruges! I can prepare some homemade Italian dishes or take you to the city's bars to enjoy a good local beer.

As a graduate of the College of Europe, I can tell you everything about the EU. Furthermore, I worked at the European Parliament, so I can help you to discover the "EU bubble" and Brussels... But at the same time on a sunny day can I show around till the near Ocean. At night, we can join some party, and I can help you have to have a great stay in Belgium
