CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy Life at Maximum - Carpe Diem! Never regrets, only memories at the end :-)

ABOUT ME

A guy full of energies, always eager to learn new things with a smiling approach.
Very good in planning and organizing and quite reliable.

PHILOSOPHY

Big things will make your life more interesting; little things will make your life happier.

I like the Phoenix bird: because every time it burns, it can be re-born from her ashes, even stronger every time.
Remember...never "limbo" situations...in paradise you will stay, from the hell you will escape after going through it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Sharing hints about Geneva, taking people around in the area also for sailing outing, hiking/skiing day trips or salsa dancing night; or simply for a coffee in old town or a drink in a nice club.
I can host only with very little notice (so not ideal for planning in advance).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

a lot of backpacking :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sabbatical period of 3.5 months in South America (including Amazon Jungle)

Sailing Cruise in Galagapos Ilands.

Half-marathon in 1h 56 min.

Quad motor-biking in the jungle

Sunset in the Amazon Jungle (Rurrenabaque, Bolivia).

Executive MBA from Warwick Business School while I was working full time.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach salsa (going dancing 2-6 times a week).
I am happy to take people on my sailing boat and I have worked as sailing instructor for two seasons in a different holiday resorts.
Not patient enough to teach skiing but we can go together for a hike.

Very good in energy management (physical/mental/emotional/spiritual)...happy to share very good nutrition/life style habits.

I am now learning French and starting Golf (not because I like the snobbish environment but because it is an open-air easy sport and some of golf greens are very close to the best landscapes).

I can teach Italian and English (as I generally do during language exchanges for Spanish or French).

I love cooking for other "special" people; when I am alone, the microwave will save me a lot of time :-).
