IMPORTANT
I love couchsurfing and I firmly consider it a community of travellers rather than a free-of-charge version of Airbnb.
I usually welcome those who don't show any respect for it by not reading a host's profile before writing and instead send general and clearly copy-paste requests of staying (Hi! we're a group of three and we need a place for the night! Can you host us?) with a warm and wholehearted No. Also, because of people like this I also created an AirBnB profile, which is actually performing quite well so I normally prefer last minute request. It happened to me to have my couch canceled 1 day before I landed and I don't want to do the same to my surfers.
Feeling lucky yet? Go ahead then ;-)

What would your your friends say if we asked them about you?

They'd probably invite you to have a drink with us while we'd roast some fish on the barbecue. Then they would probably ask you if you'd ever come back from Australia. They used to do it all the time for over a year from my landing.
I was born in the South of Italy in a tiny nice place called Larino, which is actually far more ancient a settlement than Rome itself and still has a tiny Coliseum of its own. We call it "the Anfiteatro".
Since I started University I live in Milan.
I love this city and daily enjoy everything it has to offer, which among culture, sport, music, food, nightlife and events is a whole lot of stuff.
I also love travelling and meeting new people, expecially if they can't speak my language, so I can train my English, my Spanish and hopefully learn some tricks in some exotic idiom, too!

PHILOSOPHY

Born to lose, live to win!

兴趣

I like to swim twice a week or as soon as i reach the sea, a river, a lake. I swam in over 50 different spots in Italy, I swam in the Antartic Ocean, I swam in the Pacific, snorkeled In the Indian and technically jumped twice in the Atlantic too. Or I shold say just the Baltic Sea?

I like to take off on my own and meet people when I land. Sometimes even on the plane, train or bus that is taking us there, at the airport while looking for our way to the city or waiting for our taxi, when we get to our hostel, the family where I'm staying at, sometimes at the first cafe I step in on my first day.

音乐、电影和书籍

Historical drama, the whole lot of it.
Roman hystory, Greek and Norse Mythology, movies and books about battles, new discoveries, events and people that shaped the World we now live in.
I love rock music, from prog to heavy, but I actually listen to everything spanning from mighty Dire Straits to Amon Amarth.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

3 amazing moments I've been through?
Well, let's see..

1) Jumping off the infamous Jump Rock in Manly (Sydney) and later finding out some lads who did the same thing some time later had a close encounter with a young white shark.

2) Taking a walk in the red desert somewhere among the Kata Tjutas and the Ululru, giving my back to the beaten track in search for reptiles, kangaroos, or even insects, just to see how they look in the wild after i already saw most of them captivity, failing in it and ultimately losing my way in the process. When i got back to the road the van was just a small point at the horizon and when I finally reached it my travelmates were scared shitless, for I even had left my phone aboard.

3) Florence Beach (Magnetic Island). I walked the whole morning to see the Island and now I'm relaxing in this purest water snorkeling for some coral.
I get quite distant from the beach but keep very close to the rocks. No heavy currents but a slight, constant riptide luring me away from the mainland. Suddenly I see -or at last I believe to see- one little, almost transparent yet something between blue and dark yellow ball, smaller than my fist. I never saw one before but in that moment I seriously thought I had met that infamous ballfish - a creepy tiny octopus which I read was in Australia's (and therefore the World's) most lethal animals' top 5.
One bite instantly paralyzes your muscles and now I find myself swimming against the current, whith this potentially deadly pal in front of my goggles, sharp rocks only a few yards on my right and realyze I could just die drowning in 10 seconds, my body to be dragged away to Salomon Islands and maybe never to be found.

I never knew what I really saw that afternoon, but I remember instantly turning my direction, head to the mainland and push my every last ounce of energy in my legs and arms, lungs burning for the effort.
When I finally broke the riptide and reached the sand I started running without even freeing my feet from the flippers so basically what people on the the beach saw was a drunk Donald Duck frantically coming out from the Ocean!

教，学，和分享

I take Couchsurfing as a network of travellers and most of all people who are genuinely interested in meeting new friends and get to know them togheter with the places they visit.

I like to walk my city and show its secrets to my guests, eat our traditional food, drink our local cocktails and get in the mood, introduce them to my friends and go to places, as I have learned from my hosts when I was a newbie, as this was what made me love CouchSurfing.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

When I'm abroad i'm not the typical young Italian in a noisy stag group, popping in the first disco and all.

I like taking videos and a lot of pictures of the places I see and the people I meet, many of whom I keep in touch with and probably raise a pint with somewhere else on this blue World. Catching up with ourselves and what experiences we had since the last time.

I enjoy getting in the mood of the City, syncronyze my routines and get in touch with the locals. I love to take the free walking tours when available, ask people around for nice places to visit and where to go for what's on in this period. I like tasting local food and walking in the forests, shopping in the grocery stores and swimming where the locals do. And of course, when I happen to get along just fine with a girl I meet there I'm glad to ask her out for a coffee.
