About Me

CURRENT MISSION
planning an exotic travel beginning of 2017

ABOUT ME
I am a guy that loves to meet new people and discovering new culture. I am originally from Italy (Rome) but I am currently living in Switzerland with my gf. I moved to CH after 4 fantastic years in the UK. My actual plan is to stay in Switzerland for a bit ... not sure how long: 1 more year, 2 more, forever? Who knows! So guys hurry up if you want to meet me in the watch and chocolate land. Don't hesitate to drop me a line if you pass by!

PHILOSOPHY

"Fatti non foste a viver come bruti, ma per seguir virtute e canoscenza" that means: "You were not made to live like unto brutes, But for pursuit of virtue and of knowledge"
(Dante Alighieri "The Divine Comedy-Inferno-Cantos XXVI")

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I joined CS in April 2005 and it gave me the opportunity to meet a lot of wonderful people from all the continents! I would say it changed some big part of my life and helped a lot to get a better picture of the fantastic planet called Earth!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted several Csurfers when I lived in Rome and some in Leeds. Unfortunately I surfed only once so far (btw, fantastic experience)... I definitely need to improve my "Csurfing" skills!
