About Me

Old school couchsurfer. Checkin' in from time to time.

-------------------------------------------
LEGACY ABOUT ME DESCRIPTION
-------------------------------------------

CURRENT MISSION

I like to think that in one of my past lives I used to be a Renaissance's starchitect or something like that, then the evolution of my soul started going backward because of my licentious conduct.

ABOUT ME

Basically, not much typical italian. Just the good things. I travelled Europe, I got my degree and I moved to Rome but working in a city with two subway lines for more than six million people, no way. So I moved to Milan. Good subway, too many people that feel way cooler than you. I spent about 7 months in USA too. Meanwhile I shot some short movies, won some prize and made some payed work. Then, I went back home.

Right now I'm trying to find my way. That's it. The end. Really, I'm not doing the "it's-hard-to-talk-about-myself" thing.

OTHER STUFF:
Sporadic workout
Chilling with a beer
I used to play bass in a post-rock band
Taking funny pictures when I travel
Taking extremely cool pictures when I travel
Eating all kind of local stuff, I usually appreciate rare cooked animals.
I hang out whenever possible.

PHILOSOPHY

I go with the flow and I stand up for what I think is right.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host people, I'm hosted when I travel, I'm going to meetings sometimes.
I try to stay in the CS spirit as much as possible: you know interesting people, you are connected with with a sporadic little part of humanity for a while, hopefully you will see them again but doesn't matter if that doesn't happen. You can use this experience for personal growth, or not, it's up to you.
In a certain sense, it's a lifestyle.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I got to know CS in 2008 in New York where I had a lot of couchsurfing parties and free drinks nights. Back to sicily I started surfing and hosting with the Palermo couchsurfing community.
Since then I've been hosting lot of people in Letojanni, Sicily and I've been hosted all around Europe and USA. I go to couchsurfing events too, especially when they are cool.
