I’m a Graphic Designer, MMA Player and Drummer based in Hamburg, Germany. Hopeless foodie, I love “alive” conversations with people with a strong personality and an original and personal point of view. I’m super interested in Art, Design, Martial Arts, Languages, Philosophy, Books, Movies and Music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet people, get to know people, become friends with people. I want to listen to their stories, share my stories and maybe together create our own stories. I want to talk about life, about things I know and things I don't know yet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you the basics of Kung Fu and MMA self defense; Italian culture; Art and History of Art stories and anecdotes; Languages curiosities (Italian, Sicilian, Ancient Greek, Latin, English, German); the basics of Sicilian/Italian cooking; the basics of drums. I would love to learn more about other cultures kitchen, high level drums techniques, photography and most of all, other languages. Apart of Italian, I love Arabic and modern Greek, the two most fascinating languages I’ve ever approached to :) ———— IMPORTANT: I’m not using Couchsurfing like Tinder and I’m not interested in hosting or being hosted “by-end”!
