About me..

I was born in Sicily but for a long time of my last 15nd years I've lived out from here. I was back on September 2018.

I think I'm a normal, quiet and friendly guy.

I come from Palermo, where I've spent must of first part of my life (around 30 years).

I love traveling, to discover diversity and richness of Earth and human nature.

I'm eclectic: I like arts, scientes, nature, landskapes, quietness, parties, history, people..

I hate injstices and dictatorships. I like to Dream (and not only during the night!) and I think there is only one point of wiew to explein reality. I can't suffer people who think to have got the absolute truth (what is it?).

I love the spirit of ancient greece and I agree with Nietzsche's point of wiew on it. Personally I regard atheist point of wiew, but I respect all religions, although I don't like fanaticism.

I like travelling and discovering different cultures, foods, habits and new things.

I think man can't stop to learn, day by day.. and I want playing this game.

I like cooking and eating as all good italian-sicilian man.

Life is short: my dream is to spend most part of my life travelling and discovering the amazing different cultures of this world.. and I'm working for it.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm understanding everyone is different. I want to respect everybody, but I want to decide the people whom I want to be in relactionship with..

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love the Difference and the amazing Richness of this world..
I love to meet new interting people

I'm on CS from 2008. I really don't like very much people that think CS is only an easy way to sleep for free.. I'm thinking it's not only this.. (so, I'm sorry, but often I don't reply who asks me only: "have you got a couch for this dates? I'll arrive this day and leave that day..").
On my opinion CS is - first of all - a great way to meet people, to know new habits and share different experiences.. then a chance to improve myself. This is what I'm thinking about CS.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Since I signed on CS I've hosted and met many interesting people in my differents locations in Italy.. in Palermo.. and in Florence, Asti, Biella.. sharing my place and my culture with travelers from all around the world..

as well as I did during my trips around the World.. in Europe, in Japan, in Thailand, in Vietnam, in Iran, in Perù.. starting many wonderful and good friendshipes..

All my CS experiences till now were unique and amazing.
