ABOUT ME

Hi, We are a trio of friends, Marco, Stefano and Francesco, nice to meet you! We are in our 20s and we like pretty much everything's good in life. We love Music, Art, cooking, eating, gaming, traveling, we love the woods, the sun and the snow.

Hello guys, I'm Francesco , 23 years old, I study at Medicine University in Catania and I make/listen music and cook for the most of my free time. I always traveled in my life, so I know a nice piece of Europe and a bit of Africa. I love Jazz, Hip hop, Electronica, Rock, folk, and folks and that's why I need to travel :)

Hi there, I'm Marco, 25. I study Graphic Design at School of Fine Arts here in Catania. I love Visual Arts, I play the guitar and the Xbox, usually both of them at the same time. I also Make Digital / Analog and Acoustic music and I like to follow all of the current sports, mostly football.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I ( Francesco) have experienced couch surfing three times until now. I went to Milan for a concert and lived for a week there in a tiny house not so far from the center. Another time I went to Turin for a two-months stay and I literally lived in a couch, but I really enjoyed it because my housemates were very pleasant. And a few years ago when I was 18 I visited Cesena and lived in a 8-mates house in a big attic with all the comforts and my own facilities.
