About Me

Dopo 15 anni senza questo sito, è buono di ritornare a Couchsurfing!

Vado all'Italia in Marzo 2024 e vorrei conoscere la gente lì!

Di 2007 a 2009 ho avuto più di 100 persone e amavo assolutamente conoscere i viaggiatori. Avevo formato a provare quella cosa si chiama "matrimonio."

Adesso sono eccitato a ritornare al paese di miei antenati. Studiavo in Roma per due mesi in 2004, e questa primavera il mio gruppo ritornerà per un riunione di 20 anni. Spero di parlare la lingua, mangiare il cibo, e camminare le strade dell'Italia.

After a 15 year hiatus, it's good to be back on CouchSurfing!

I will be headed to Italy in March 2024 and would love to meet up with some folks out there!

From May 2007 to late 2009 I hosted well over 100 people and absolutely loved getting to know people passing through town, but took a break to try my hand at that "marriage" thing for a while.

Now I am excited to return to the country of my ancestors. I studied in Rome for two months in 2004, and this Spring my group will return for a 20 year reunion. I hope to speak the language, eat the food, and walk the streets of Italy.

Interests

Gli interessi includono: uccelli, giochi di tavolo, andare in bici, e libri. Si, sono un po' noioso!

My interests all start with B: birds, board games, biking, and books. And yeah they're all pretty boring I guess. I'm a middle aged CouchSurfer!

Music, Movies, and Books

Il mio gusto nella musica... non è buona. Preferisco a ascoltare alla musica che ti piace, con speranza che imparo qualcosa nuova. Musica che ho scoperto recentemente: Starbenders, Parcels, The Beaches, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, The Interrupters.

Mi piacciono tutti i tipi di film, tranne film di azione machista (ma mi piace un thriller intelligente!)

I libri che mi piacciono includono fantascienza/fantasia. Rebecca Roanhorse e N.K. Jemisin sono due scrittrici che mi davvero stupiscono.

My taste in music is... not good. I'd much rather listen to the music you like, in hopes that I'd learn something new. Music I've discovered recently: Starbenders, Parcels, The Beaches, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, The Interrupters.

I like all kinds of film, except macho action flicks (but I do like a smart thriller!)

The books I like are mostly sci-fi/fantasy. Rebecca Roanhorse and N.K. Jemisin are two authors who truly amaze me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During my youth I did a lot of bicycle advocacy, and at 24 years old I successfully lobbied my city to convert a seven mile stretch of roadway into a bike-friendly Bicycle Boulevard.

Teach, Learn, Share

I speak a smattering of Italian with a few traces of Roman and Sicilian dialect, so if anyone else is up for a little italiano, I'd love to chat. I'm also trying to learn Spanish, but I keep muddying it up with Italian.

Albuquerque is a region rich with history, geology, and social idiosyncrasies. I'd love to show you around and explain a little bit about how the city came to be.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have some fun compact board games I would love to teach you. I would love to go for a bike ride or birdwatching together. I can bring some fun trinkets or tasty snacks from Albuquerque!
