I'm an Italian student and swimming teacher in Genova, Italy. I really like sharing experiences with people: meeting new people to know new cultures, new countries, other ways of thinking and of seeing the world...this is beautiful. You never stop to learn!
I don't like to describe myself, the simplest thing that I can say is that I try to bring a smile everywhere I go!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling and meeting new people is the first and best way to know the world and to discover something more about yourself too. I would like to feel the real identity of each place that I visit.

Interests

I really love photography (I'd like to know more about the history of photography),
I like practicing some sport, listening to music, reading books.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like a lot of kinds of music (De André, Modena City Ramblers, Bandabardò if I think to Italy; Edward Sharpe, Rene Aubry, Beirut, Les Ogres de Barback, La Pegatina, Eski Bando if I think to the rest of the world)
'Life is beautiful' by Roberto Benigni is the best movie ever!
I loved reading Auel's serie 'Earth's children'...amazing!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In August 2014 I left Italy to go to Ankara for a one-year Erasmus (exchange student program). I didn't want a fast journey so I decided to take my Vespa scooter and I reached the capital of Turkey in about three weeks, crossing Italy from Genova to Brindisi, taking a boat to the south of Greece, driving through this country to arrive to Turkey, where I visited Istanbul before my final destination: Ankara! More than 3000 km!
I've driven the way back too, in June 2015, but it has been a fast trip, not as adventurous as the first way!
