ABOUT ME
I like traveling and meeting so many people because I think it is the easiest and most funny way to learn how to live in this world.
I love animals and for that reason I decided to become a vet. I chose to work in animal production, in particular in welfare animal, in order to improve the breeding of this animal that give to us food and good product but they are often treated as simple as intensive production machines.
I love music and I play a little guitar, accordion and piano. I enjoy going to concerts or muscals events!
I practice Buddhism for about eight years and I'm part of an association for peace culture and education that bases its foundations on the principles of Nichiren Buddhism, a Japanese monk in 1200 roughly. A great experience that allowed and still allows me to meet so many people of different ages and improving myself in relationships with others, such as result, creat value everywhere.
Finally, I was a member of another association that deals with travel and responsible / cultural tourism called TOURISTS NOT A CHANCE. Also this type of activity over the years helped me to enrich myself allowing me to improve myself and open up further to the world without prejudice and fear.
PHILOSOPHY
My philosophy is always to take responsibility for their own lives, do not let anyone decide for yourself and always be positive and encourage everyone to realize their dreams, whatever they may be.
The important thing is to never stop dreaming while remaining with the feet firmly planted on the ground, because dreams are the fuel for our actual lives.
This for me is the only way that allows to increase our spirit and our abilities. We must strive every day and engage with the smile to achieve our wildest dreams. At the end the important thing is not to get what you wanted, but the whole process and the road we traveled to climb our mountain and reach the summit.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
In the pasts years couch allowed me to enlarge so much my friendships. Now I have contacts with people from all over the world, from Australia to the Americas. However as travel experiences with couch I had only one in Barcelona as a guest, and others (always in Spain) where some kind and interesting people helped me to discover their own cities!

Music, Movies, and Books
I love a lot of differents kinds of music, I am not so fan of electro, techno, rap, for all the others kinds I really enjoy! I am also a big fan of De André who is an italian muscian and it would be a pleasure to play you some songs from him:)
I am not difficult for the films neither but if I had to choose one kind it would be movies with happy end if possible :-)!
I read a lot of buddhism books to increase my knowledge in my religion but I also enjoy reading some good novels, historical books, and classics. Some of my favourite authors are Daniel Pennac, Stefano Benni, Alessandro Baricco.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
13 travel (normally it takes only 3) hours to get from Bologna to Trento (Italy) with an old camper of 1980 which has drilled for two consecutive times without possessing the spare tire. The longest and most expensive trip of my life (total 500 Euros). but when you share things with real friends everything is transformed into a game....and that exhausting experience I will never forget! I never had so much "desperate" laughter in my life!
What I Can Share with Hosts
before I was able to host people, but at the moment I haven't got a good accommodation to offer! waiting for a new house I really happy to meet new people and helping them to discover the city and give them some good tips!
