I come from a little town in Piedmont, Alba, near Turin. I graduated in medicine last December and right now I'm working in different places of Italy (in June I was in Bologna, in July I was in Florence, now I'm in Turin). Since I have some spare time I will spend it abroad travelling, visiting a friend of mine in Bergen and then moving down to Hamburg at my girlfriend's without taking airplanes.

I think I'm a very kind and friendly person, I always try to be welcoming with people, friend or not, and I really like people's stories and opinions and people who appreciate to listen to mine.

I'm fed up of busy, caothic, pop style of travelling. I really prefer to visit unknowkn places, the countryside of a quite small town, guided by locals or friends who lived there for a while. Calming down, enjoying a meal smiling e talking about future, dreams, fears; a trekking, a sunset watched by the top of crag, that's what I like the most during this "hurry" period of my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

That's why I am on couchsurfing. I would like to find people on my way to share something with. I little walk around the town, a concert, a talky night in front of a beer. Nothing simplier than that, whatever more intresting.
