Hi! I’m Claudio, I'm 25, from Florence, Italy. I just graduated in Architecture and I love art in all its forms, I can draw, paint and work wood and clay. I also attended an art school for 5 years, and I'm always looking for new artistic techniquesto experience. Along with this I also really like sports, swimming, volleyball, tennis and I'm learning mountain sports, skiing and climbing. After so much studying I want to take time for myself by traveling, learning about the world, people and new cultures.
I am a friendly and sociable person. I come from a large family. I am the first of 5 siblings, and I grew up with around tones of cousins and relatives ( typical southern Italian family). This brought me to be a patient and responsible person, I had to grow sooner than expected, this toughened me up and turned me in who I am. I cherish and care about personal relationships: for me a friendship lasts forever, and when I find a friend, I never let it go. Friends are the family that I choose for myself, and the one in which I feel at home, when not in mine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe this site is a real opportunity. It allows me to get in touch with people like me, with a great desire to learn and share. The cultural and human exchange that CouchSurfing promotes is an experience that cannot be bought.
