Hi! My name is Edo and I'm 38. I live in the marvellous city of Verona and ion the lake Garda. Me and my cats Anita Mafalda and Pita Sirtaki can't host you often but, if free, we would love to share our time with you in front of a well cooked meal and a couple of glasses of beer or wine.

PS: My house is not a free hostel or Airbnb. Only last minute requests for a sleeping spotwill be accepted (who travel knows what does it mean to be stuck with no acomodation) any other request will be considered on personal interest. If possible to me, I really enjoy to share time with my guests. If that is not possible I will be more than welcome to share with you my fav spots in my city, lake Garda and surroundings. Last but not least , even if I cannot host you I'll be more than happy to meet in the city to show you around or just grab an aperitivo talking about our travel experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To share

Interests

I'm a part time undergraduate History student, I also love to talk about politics, History and the history of revolutionary movements. I'm always into discussions about controversial subjects with people that had different perspectives than mine. If you don't like to share opinions fine but maybe we will both lose something. I love contact team sports, especially American Football, but I'm also a football fan of Genoa and Celtic. I love long walks (better if it's a long multi days walk path). Reading good books, writing my thoughts in my little brown book. Learning. Cooking home what I've tasted during my travels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Changing all my opinions at once

Teach, Learn, Share

I Can teach to cook local Italian recipes from my city or other ones that I love. Including many international ones that I learned during my trips.

I can teach sailing too,if we have the time (summer only)

I love to learn different expressions in different languages, especially regional variations.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A spot on the most comfortable couch on earth (try to believe), an hammock or a double futon(temporary converted in inflatable bed(sorry), a ukulele bass guitar to play, internet connection, darts or table ping pong, a nintendo mini and the use of the kitchen.
