CURRENT MISSION

** sorry if sometimes I forgot to reply to your emails or couch request. I read the message on my phone at work and then I forget about it**

at the moment my mission is to work on myself and become more self-aware.

ABOUT ME

my Instagram: bigno82

hello people!

I'm a honest and funny person, easy going and talkative.

For living I work in the film industry as a visual effect artist on blockbuster movies and tv commercials.

I like the sun, the sun, the sun... oh yes I said that already... I love to travel in order to understand other cultures and to taste local and traditional food, to meet people who have interesting stories to share and to scuba dive (soon sailing and freedive too)

i love to cook food from around the world and share it with my friends... with a good bottle of wine ;)

I still have to find a place in the world where I would like to live. I'm italian but I dont really feel I belong there.

People tell me too that I am not the typical italian (they say so in the nice way :) ).

I want to travel the world, meet people and see places.
I like to have people around me, even one good friend to share moments with.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that life is about being the cause and not the effect of what happen to you, that you should take responsibility for everything that happens in your life without blaming other people and that our journey is about becoming a better version of ourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing because I do like to meet people from around the world.

In the past 10 years I have been living in different places like London, Oxford, Vancouver, Amsterdam and Copenhagen.

I have friends from and all around the world and I am always curious to understand how they see life and what are their values.

I host people whenever I can,depending in which part of the world I am in. check out my reviews!

Interests

cooking, travelling, scuba diving, ultimate frisbee, kundalini yoga, meditation, swimming, table tennis, hiking, tennis, photography, meeting new people, football, music and of course cinema because that is what I do.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all the kind of music, it depend from my mood. same for films - lately I am into Korean movies (no, no korean porns, you dirty minds!) and Japanese movies too.

I dont really read much, but sometimes I find good books that really make me read them in one go.
Actually lately since I moved to Vancouver I started to read again a bit more.

I like self development books and marketing books - basically something you can learn from.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't know. I don't really like to talk about how amazing I am or the amazing things I have done or accomplished in life.

I think what I am doing right now, which is to focus on myself and really try hard to become a better man is the hardest thing I have been going through and the thing I am most proud of.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a very good cook! seriously guys.

I can teach u how to cook some tasty food!

I can share with you some of my travels stories, teaching you italian

What I Can Share with Hosts

what I can share with my host? definitely some good stories, laughs, food, a good bottle of wine and more laugh.
hopefully we'll click so you appreciate my sarcastic, mix of italian and english humor.
I make fun of myself, I don't act as an alpha male and I am very easygoing but also respectful about the place where I am staying.
