About Me

"...the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!"

This is my favourite quote from the book "On the Road" by Jack Kerouac, and I think that it describes me fully. I am a very open-minded person who enjoy listening to music, reading (actually devouring) books, walking in the nature, cooking proper italian dishes and having interesting conversation with people I encounter on my journeys. Unfortunately I am a little bit shy at first, so do not worry if I do not talk a lot initially, eventually I will become the more talkative person on the planet!

“Nothing behind me, everything ahead of me, as is ever so on the road.”

N.B. Starting from April I will live in Kobe (Japan) as an exchange student, so I won't be able to host because I will stay at a dorm!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because I think that the most important part of a trip/journey is to stay in contact with autoctone people who can offer their personal experiences and opinions on the different cultures of the world. Having the possibility to enjoy the company of other people and have friendly conversations with them is a fundamental experience for everyone's maturity and I would like to enjoy these opportunities as much as possible!
