CURRENT MISSION

I'm trying to find a place to be

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Naples, which I love and hate at the same time, a city that deserves to be made criticism about but that is also uncomparably beautiful and worth seeing once in a lifetime. I could talk about Naples for hours, so let's say that after an experience in Tel Aviv, I got the travel bug and travelled Europe and South America and settled in England for half a year. Now I'm in Australia! I'm a funny guy, sometimes poetic, try to be empathetic most of the times. I'm a good listener, I give good pieces of advice which not always work but make people laugh. Once a person who used to love me said that I'm intelligent and kind , I can enjoy the pleasures life has to offer, I'm adventurous and brave, I'm not afraid of the unknown and stand face to face with the unfamiliar and my heart is open to the world. But that was from a person who really loved me :) Sometimes I can give the impression of being a little stuck-up or aloof, but the truth is I need my moments of solitude.

PHILOSOPHY

1) It is moral to act, to be decisive. But it is not moral to attach yourself to the fruit of that action.

2) Shit happens.

3) I prize single-tasking and slow-living.

Until recently I thought travelling was making myself a more mature person, and in a sense it was true. But I was also procrastinating. I'm still on the road now but for the first time I'm aware of the person I want to be. A path with no direction is becoming a valuable lesson.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I deeply enjoy the fact that no matter how far you've gone with your travels, thanks to CS you can always meet up with a bunch of like-minded people. Wherever I go I look out for meetings and events. I would like to host more, as soon as I settle down I'll give back all the good I've got from other travellers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

As I have been moving a lot, I got to know many people by joining some fun CS meeting, being hosted and sometimes hosting whenever and wherever I can.

Algo increíble que he hecho

I've seen kangaroos crossing the road when you are about to drive on; I've seen dead cane toads coming back alive overnight; I've seen barking owls and whistling ducks and obnoxious parrots; I've seen Australians eating Vegemite!

Enseña, aprende, comparte

In the short term I can teach: 2 kata, 7-8 yoga positions, 1 typical Neapolitan cards game, a handful of recipes.

As I'm embracing a different kind of life style, I'm particularly interested in learning more about organic gardening and permaculture.
