Unfortunately I cannot host at the moment as I am living in Sydney. I will resume once back... if back ;)

CURRENT MISSION

Make the world a more empathic place!

ABOUT ME

I'm willing to travel the world till my last breath!
I'm into sports, the environment, justice and healthy food.
Best thing about having me around: I'm a great cook!

'Green' is what describes my life the best.

I research and lecture Business Ethics, philosophy and reflexivity at the University of Sydney Business School. Previously interned at the UN Global Compact in NYC under the department of Environment and Anti-Corruption. I have also worked as Event Consultant for the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup, Giro d'Italia and Golf Tournaments plus experiences as bike tour guide in summer.

All of this had to fit in my daily 'triathlon training schedule' :)

PHILOSOPHY

You get what you give!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I cook as a 'payback'

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I mostly surfed because of my nomadic life, though I hosted too, both Couch Surfers and not. Unfortunately I haven't had too many guests as my home is located far from touristic routes, though in a beautiful alpine setting.
My CS experience started back in 2007 in Brisbane, Australia. My travelling plans got destroyed in 5mins, cause my travelling buddy had to leave, I lost my passport and I had just the money to come back to Melbourne, where I lived back then. You need an 'insider' to really understand places and Couch Surfers usually know more than a Lonely Planet's guide. Without a CS experience, I would have probably come back home with not more than a superficial idea of the places visited. I am the perfect example of this statement: I am italian and you would expect me to like wine, soccer and be able to cook a pizza... none of the above! Well, ok... I do like Pizza :)

Tips to "non-Italians":
Please put a handful of salt in the boiling water before adding pasta and a bit of oil while cooking it.
I know it's basic, but trust me... there're still people completely unaware of this!
