About Me

A wooden table, a bottle of wine and a bunch of people sitting on some benches having a good time. That's my ideal scenario.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When a guy I met by chance told me about how he couchsurfed through Australia, I instantly loved this idea of travelling. Not being a tourist among the tourists in a hostel, but a totally different and deeper experience. Meeting people and learning cultures.

Interests

I love computers, programming and tinkering with them. I love cooking (and eating!) and making liqueurs to share with my friends. I've been doing karate for most of my life. And I love reading, mostly fantasy and science fiction.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I walked the Camino de Santiago from the French border to Finisterre without a single blister under my feet.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach what I know: karate, programming, Italian cuisine and Italian language. I'd like to practice more Spanish, as I've studied it a bit but I've so few chances to use it.
