About Me

First of all, I love to laugh. I think that this is my biggest passion. My next one is probably my job. I work in cinema. I'm a director. For now I do shorts films.
I dream to visit the world, step by step. I would live in each country just to get to know every single part of it and enjoy what humans have to offer.
I like to write, tell stories, eat with wonderful people, learn and discover more about them, swim in oceans, seas, lakes and rivers, surf and take a walk in the beautiful nature. I love to walk. I could walk night and day because every step that I take shows me something new and beautiful about life. I love coffee, candies, campfires, temples, meditation and last but not least human beings.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because yes obviously I want to save money but mostly because I want to meet real local people on my travels. From my youngest age I dreamt of Italy. I've always wanted to know more about its culture. Italian food, history, people and language are a big mystery that I need to solve. I want to taste and see the most of it so I think Couchsurfing is the best genuine way to achieve my goal. I want to meet local people and visit REAL Italy. I hate to visit a country without getting to know its true essence. I think that the best way to really know a place is by getting to know and learn from each other. So, I will be more than happy to share some French with you in exchange of one new Italian word.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For my first big trip, I went 45 days in Burma, one of the most closed countries in the world. It was the best experience of my life. I met a wonderful and warm nation. Everywhere in the country, everyone smiles at you and seems happy to greet you. They're always screaming ''Myngalabar'' which means ''Hello''. People are all really kind and spiritual. It seems like time stopped in the 40's but nobody really cares.
