About Me

I am an Italian guy who loves to travel and share experiences. I was born in Sicily, I moved out from my parent's home at 18 and I have been studying and working at the same time, first in Turin and then in Lisbon. Meanwhile I had the opportunity to meet new people, different culture and I found myself involved in different situation.

I love nature, totally addicted to outdoor sports. My main characteristic is the curiosity. Always open to new experiences.

Currently I am working in Turin, in a company that design wave energy converters, trying to make the world a better place to live in!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe this is an amazing way to connect people, to share experiences while making travel a bit cheaper. I had the opportunity to know different people from different part of the world and it enriched my life a lot. I found myself interested in something I would never think to be and I had the possibility to share what I know and what I am able to do.
