I've been working 14 years as a landscape architect - really in love with my job. When I turned 40, 3 years ago, I got conscious that it was time for me to make a big change in my life, so I left it and took some months traveling, a reflection travel.
Now I have a lot of ideas and new inspirations in my mind, let's see what will happen..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think couchsurfing can be a wonderful way to know places from inside, with people that live them everyday. If you are very lucky, you can go back home with a new friend...
As a host is a way to let the world enter your house.

Interests

Talking, tasting and drinking, traveling by vespa, combi, sailing boator om my feet. In the last years I've learnt to travel alone, a new pleasure, different from traveling with friends: you go deeply into places and persons you meet.
Cultivating my vegetable garden (and every year it gets better...).
Working on landscape, trying to make the world a most beautiful place.
Sailing in the Med, but discovering what means facing an ocean: crossed Atlantic in december 2017.

Music, Movies, and Books

Rock, punk, grunge, opera (Puccini overall - sorry sometimes the romantic side comes out), jazz, postrock, blues, bossanova, patchanka, folk.
I don't like latin music, metal, hip hop.

Love books, but there are so many good books, is really hard pointing out a favourite one... now I'm reading Altai by Wu Ming collective.

About movies the same problem: too many.
