'Sup mates, my name is Benedetto, I'm 23, from Rome, Italy. I am a movie production professional and I'm now living in the Netherlands to study Safety and Security Management. I'd say I'm a chill guy with the right mindset to get along with everybody, and I'm always keen to adventures. I like things that make you feel alive, breathing and pizza aside.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I use cs because I love the idea to be able to meet anyone in your town or meet other couchsurfers when travelling abroad to share stories and adventures.

I've spent a whole vacation couchsurfing around Croatia and it was truly awesome, met lots of new friends and super nice people, and I hope I'll meet many more in my next cs trips! I also have been hosting couchsurfers with my best friend for years now and I always had beautiful experiences

Interests

My big passions are motorcycling and snowboarding, but when I'm not driving around or falling from a mountain, I enjoy watching and playing football (it's spelled soccer for you american punks), hiking, pretending to understand art that I enjoy aestethically but totally miss the meaning and of course, hang out around with people.

Also drinking, and sunsets, AND believe me it's a nice combination
