"A tramp and a gentleman, cynical but passionate, self-centered but generous... a friend"
Just a quote from a great film, which is a good depiction here. I actually consider myself creative and resilient, besides kind and reliable.

My mission is to explore what life can offer though its challenges and revelations; I want keep questioning my perspective on the world, and really feel myself in the ongoing change. That's why I've just taken a year's leave from work to travel and work in the Americas.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

That's my way of travelling. I started in the United States, while I was studying Filmmaking in New York City. Then, again when I moved to Australia and... I never stopped

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

An Erasmus project for six months in Canterbury, United Kingdom.
It changed my approach to art and life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I share my artistic knowledge and I'm open to learn everything will be offered me.
Both as a host and as a guest I can cook a few Italian dishes.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook and make portraits with my tablet. This is my ongoing drawing diary:
