About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trying to inspire people from all over the world to respect, tolerate and be flexible about other people's ideas, in order to create a better world

Patient character, proactive, positive, insanely punctual and always looking to learn something new.

PHILOSOPHY

"Mature is someone how takes all decisions in his life. Wise is the mature who takes the right decisions. Stupid is the mature who takes the same wrong decision for the second time."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate hosting as much as possible, but I can host only weekends and with one or two days advance notice.
Whenever there is a eating/drinking activity requiring just a few hours of my time on weekdays and at night, then I am on. Weekends almost for sure I am free for indoor and outdoor activities.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not large but interesting.
Hosting people is like giving back the same courtesy I received when traveling abroad.
I can keep in touch with the traveler's spirit.
And you get to know people that, you never know, might end up winning a Nobel prize or an Academy award.

Interests

Computers, genki-drinks and world news.
Talk while drinking and drink while talking (coffee, beer or wine is okay).
Interesting conversations, no chitchat.
AND I LOVE plain CHEERIOS! (but cannot have any in Japan)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did a one-week trip to Egypt without any previous arrangements in a runaway from Rome. Crazy, yes; expensive, turned out a little; worthy, 100% yes.

Teach, Learn, Share

Traveling abroad, meeting new people, having fun in the town, maybe even getting a gf,... if you are thinking about moving to Japan just for that, you will make a big mistake. No life is 7x24 fun... ok, maybe a few famous artists' life only.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hospitality and a glimpse to local culture. The do and don't.

Countries I’ve Visited

Cambodia, Canada, China, Egypt, France, Germany, Greece, India, Italy, Malaysia, Mongolia, Netherlands, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In

Japan, Mexico, United States
