2023 update: I used to host dozens of travelers in my home when I lived in Paris, I loved it.

Now I'm based in Bali, I'm a portrait artist, illustrator and Tattoo artist, and I organise weekly model drawing sessions in Bali.

I'm updating my profile now to meet some nice people!

Half Italian, half philippino, I used to move a lot as a kid, mainly grew up in Paris, then travelled a few years for study/work purposes (Italy, Bolivia, UAE, London), and many times for fun
...
no need for too much internet speech, just come and let's meet !

Just take a look a the bright side of like, as says Bryan.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find that CS is a marvelous way to discover the world and people.
I use to say that when a group of foreign people comes to your house, you are travelling without leaving home: it is the travel that comes to you :)
I also made very good friends here.

I have been hosting a lot a few years ago, in Paris and in Casablanca, from couples to 4-people groups, and it has always been a nice experience. Out of CS, I also often have people at my house: friends who needed a place to crash, even people from my job.. I enjoy sharing my place and having social company.

I also like CS for the meetings, when I do short travels - not necessarily being hosted - I spent amazing holidays through CS'ers I met.

And when I settled in new places, I met people who introduced me to my new city and became good friends.

Couchsurfing is definitely a good spirit!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Nice moments.
Tipically, chilling and dining at home on evenings, going out with friends at night, for a drink, a concert or so.
Showing around my favourites places, in the week-ends.

I'd be happy to give you my time ... if you take time to read attentively my profile before requesting.
So please include the word 'RICO' in your message if you want me to consider it :)

Also : if you are more than one guest, you should all be on couchsurfing.
