About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be curious.

ABOUT ME

I'm interested in various activities, I'm a sportsman. I read, I love seeing movies, it's quite a job for me. I find very amusing discovering other cultures trough this entertainment medium. I love to walk a lot.

PHILOSOPHY

I think having by now a personal philosophy it would be impossible. I'm looking for something, and i don't know what I'll find at the end of the path. You have to be ductile and be prepared to all the possibile experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

It was in the air. I found it interesting knowing other people and consequently knowing other cities that I've never visited. So I opened my account and it just started the travel.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed in Germany: I was once in Essen and in Hamburg, also in Stuttgart and Dessau. I was also couchsurfing in Rotterdam. I couchsurfed too in Bergamo. I travelled also with couchsurfing in Finland (Jyväskylä, Tampere, Turku and Helsinki). I stayed in Paris for almost one week staying in different places. I travelled all around the Balkans using this amazing opportunity (Beograd, Bucuresti, Sofia, Skopje, Tirana and Podgorica). I used it as well in Switzerland, Norway, Danemark and Sweden. I can add as well that I used it in Estonia, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldovia, Israel, Georgia, Azerbajan, Chile, Perù and Argentina. Basically whenever and wherever I can, it's on my to do list.

Interests

Cinema, arts, books. Music for me is the very meaning of life. It helps in connecting, linking other way. The power of this language is universal and it creates a unique atmosphere: a place and a situation where you can really be whoever you are. With music no lies are accepted.

Music, Movies, and Books

Bombino is the last big thing I discovered in my recent life. A unique guitarist, a magician with the western-six-cord-instrument; I love the power he creates and flows in every person. I find very touching the teaching of David Foster Wallace: his mastery in communicating the most deep and unseen feeling of the human being. His way of "talking" trough his art to other people. Italian cinema, especially the one from the 60' and from the 70's, is perfect under my eyes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The first time of my life that I saw the ocean. I was in Portugal, I was there studing for my master in the city of Lisbon. It was september 2012. I took the suburban train and I reached Guincho beach nearby Cascais. I was amazed in seeing this huge amount of water, of nothingness. It was so windy and the water was so angry that when I was swimming and then I was dragged against some rocks and I cut myself. My most beautiful injury in my whole entire life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can say that I am a very curious and energic person. I can motivate people easily.
I can be stubborn, but I'm trying to cope with this tough part of my character. I'm trying to use this attitude to focus on very important things and not do despair, even if situations can be sometimes difficult or unsolvable.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share optimism, faith in humanity and a person who can listen and which is very calm and patient. Sometimes it can be too much, because I'm a tornado, a river flowing at a high speed, it can be stressing but very pleasant time.
