I'm Ermanno, i come and grew up in Molise, a small region in the centre of Italy.
I started playing music as a child cause my both parents are pianist. I started then playing the violin at 11 y.o...
Didn't like it that much but somehow went on until i got my first experience in a symphonic orchestra. Since than playing music as become my unmatched passion. Thanks to music i also had the chance to travel a lot and meet so many people from all over the world!

Other than that i'm someone that likes to think and fantasize. My grandma always tell me the story of me going to her, and asking as a 4 years old kid "Grandma, but, do we think the whole time?".
No wonder i ended up interested in meditation, philosophy and anything that concerns the discovery of our psyche.

(I try to answer to everybody but sometimes I'm just busy and I just refuse the request, please don't take it personal)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always heard about CS but didn't really get the occasion to try it out. Looks like this is the right moment to do so. I find so exciting to visit a new city and meet locals or people who had the chance to live the place for a period
of time. It is about generating a new environment, going out of the comfort zone.
I grow curious of meeting people who can have different point of views, different dreams, different ways of approaching life. The best way to do so i believe is travelling.
