About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finding and documenting the legendary jaguar shark!

ABOUT ME

I think my friends would say I'm a sporty, creative person with a strange taste in music :)

I don't get easily embarassed anymore. I don't like arrogance. I value friendship a lot. I like to laugh at myself.

I'm a very good listener and I love to share stories and experiences!

PHILOSOPHY

There's always something to learn. The best way to do it is laughing at yourself: it gives you some perspective.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to really be part of each place's spirit.
I look forward to new experiences where I can be the actor and not just a spectator. I want to make friends.
And, of course, I offer my full cooperation.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed in Washington DC, hosted in my house in the mountains and in Turin: always had wonderful experiences.

Interests

I love photography, especially when traveling. I like interacting with people while on the streets, trying to capture in a picture a lot more than just their image.
I play soccer and basketball and I love skiing and snowboarding.
I love cinema and I play the guitar.

Sleeping on the deck of a sailboat in Croatia and being awoken by the morning light, while watching the wind gently rise and brush the water.
