I enjoy meeting new people, visiting remote countries, discovering new realities. I'm open-minded but I try to form my own opinions on everything. I have a passion for technology (I studied electronics and now I make lasers for a living), but also for languages, history, sports (doing them, not watching them on TV!) and many other things... I'm not a party guy but I'm always available for a beer.
I live in a spacious flat with my girlfriend and we have a bed-coach for guests, though at the moment my girlfriend doesn't want to host people we don't know.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Spending time with the local people when I travel is extraordinary. You can learn so much about culture, beliefs, viewpoints.. I think people that don't use Couchsurfing are missing out a whole lot! I am still a newbie here, but I see myself making more and more use of this in my future travels.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't know a lot about music but I listen to many different genres and sometimes I play the piano (I learnt for 5 years in my teens). I used to read lots of books but in the last 10 years I prefer to watch movies (possibly in the original language). My favorites are science fiction and historical/documentaries. I used to play lots of videogames but I haven't had much time for them for many many years. Now I tend to prefer adventure games and simulators.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've climbed several mountains around the world, including three of the Seven Summits https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Summits — the highest was almost 7000 meters high! (Mt Aconcagua in Argentina)
I love traveling and exploring new places.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to learn the history and customs of the places that I live in or that I visit. I like to go to guided tours and the like.
But I also like parks, mountains and nature in general.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you're OK, we can share bathrooms, kitchen, bedroom (but not the bed, come on!) ;)
If you visit me, I can provide blankets, towels, shower, washing machine and kitchen. And my time, of course! But please consider that during the week I'm available only in the evenings (because: job!).
