I travel by bikes with my son, we love stay in contact with nature, people and quite. I practiced a lot of sport (basketball) when I was young and now I dedicate myself to ride by motorbike and I love it. I'm a young biker but the life is too long and we have a lot of opportunities to grow up. Last summer 2015 my son and me have spent some days in France, La Palud sur Verdon, and it was marvellous and so for this year 2016 we have decided to go to Nordkapp, expecially because in september I'll be sixty!
And so we did it! We have been to Nordkapp with a travel from Forlì-Nordkapp go and back. We have made more then km 9.200 with our motorbikes in less than 20 days passing through Austria, German, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Sweden sleeping in tents and cabins. Mari Rautiainen hosted us in Rovaniemi for a couple of days and it was really beautiful. We have found sun, rain, snow and cool but also a lot of sauna, jacuzzi, relax, beautiful landscapes and exceptional people. I don't know when, but I have decided to return one day. Thanks God for this experience, expecially because I've lived it with my son!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The reasons why I'm on couchsurfing are very simple: to meet people, know their way to live, see a lot of new places and also travel spending less money maybe to use in better things. So I really hope to meet special people in Noth Europe during my next journey.
