About Me

I'm Fabio, a 22 y.o. guy from a small town in Veneto, Italy.

In my life I made 3 summer season as barman in different seaside hotels, and an amazing volunteering experience in the favela of Porto Alegre, Southern Brazil.
I graduated in Economics (Bachelor's) from the University of Trieste this autumn.

Right now I'm in Barcelona where I've been volunteering in different hostels for more than 3 months.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd love to extend my stay in this phenomenal city and nonetheless I want to meet, share opinions and talk with Catalan people.

I used to live around Plaça de Catalunya and hang out in Barrio Gotico, Raval, Born or Barceloneta, neighborhoods where just foreigners or tourists stay.

I don't feel like this would be a successful experience if I go away from such a rich place without getting the locals point of view. Independence, history and culture of Catalunya, hidden corners of Barcelona and the region to discover are just some of the topics I'd love to discuss.

Interests

Travelling, football and other sports, news, technology, cars, ....

and also hang out with friends, night life and from time to time, to watch movies and to read a book

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been working in a favela recycling center, I partecipate to a international trade fair in rural Brazil.
I've also been working in a high class 4* hotel as barman.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach easy and amazing Italian recipes, as well as cocktail I learnt in past summers.

Learn: everything. From a new tv serie to an old book about Catalunya, from past journeys around the world to the hidden tapas restaurant round the corner. Or the disco event I don't want to lose.

In the end I really like to share meals with people and time in general around the city. Playing sports or just discovering, having a beer or relaxing in Barceloneta.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking, Italian food mainly but I'd love to learn new receipes from around the world, and I love sharing dinners with friends.

I'm also always interested in sharing travel experiences and listen to new places to visit around Barcelona, Catalunya, Spain or around the globe.
