Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I think basically that there are too much differences between rich and poor countries on this planet
ABOUT ME
I am person interested to know really (as it's normally possible, with respect, trust and education) the person i'm in front of. I mainly dislike people that start a travel without a sane curiosity about the place they are going to visit, and about the new persons that they are going to meet along the experience. I dislike lack of honesty, i understad that each person has own "time" to open own soul, but i also must feel myself more "rich" by the experience to discover and to know a new person.
PHILOSOPHY
I think that there are too much differences between rich and poor countries in this little planet and that each of us should fight to reduce those differences as more as possible.
Knowledge about different cultures all over the world means also a little step to have a better world and to understand that we are ALL in this little ball running into a pheriferal galaxie.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I need contact in advance online, talk to you before your visit/hosting to have an idea about you, your way of life, It doesn't mean an examination on you, but simply an evaluation on MY opportunity to host properly you.
I like sharing my knowledge about our heritage, culture, art, architecture, archaeological sites and so on.(italian food included)
Should help a few days accomodation (max 3 - 4 nights) and especially along my free time and along week-ends!
