CURRENT MISSION

Be happy at least once a day

ABOUT ME

I am a friendly person, always well disposed to meet new people from all around the world, and to tell and hear new stories. Beware: I'm a cycling lobbyist! (to understand a little bit more: @halloground IG)
I love travelling, in all of its forms: alone, with friends and loved ones, the adventurous trips, the relaxing ones, the highly-planned and the last-minute ones, around the corner or in another continent. Just everything that fills my eyes with new things and beauty.
Lately trying to fly less and enjoy more the beauty of travelling with train/bicycle/a combination of both and discover places far from the high speed tracks and touch-and-go tourism.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to meet new people and hear life stories. When we have time and space to share we're happy to host people from everywhere, speak other languages and be inspired by other people's lifestyles and stories.

I just left Milan after 10 years of love&hate (in this order). Currently living with my partner Marco in the amazing city of LIVORNO until April (a bit of a random choice. After Livorno, who knows!)

Philosphy on CS: I try to keep the balance between host/guest experience. If I know I'm planning to couchsurf as a guest, I try at least to host someone before/after the trip :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I love couchsurfing as part of the travel experience, especially when travelling alone. I've always met interesting people thanks to this platform, so I keep going and being amazed by this community.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I ended up performing in a self-organised festival of performing arts in the outskirts of Paris with a sort of stand-up show with my Brussels flatmates, which we called "Domestic Tragedies" (it included me telling the story of how all my hamsters die in very truculent ways and panties on fire in the microwave)

Teach, Learn, Share

Well I can teach you some secrets of the italian cuisine and complain about urban mobility in a professional way
