Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling with my bicycle and I also like knowing more people and have fun.

I like sharing what I know and I like, so these are the events that I have organized for showing Helsinki outdoor life:
- Free hugs
- Bicycle tour throw the forest, 45 km (2015 and 2016)
- Helsinki midnight ride, 25 km (2016)
- Sauna time
- I also have a facebook page called "Free events in Helsinki" with more than 9000 likes

Interests

I'm interested in sports, nature, horses, camping, robotics and informatic.
I like traveling and exploring new places, reach the highest point of the city or the country, try new foods, spending time outdoors, enjoying nature, camping, hiking in mountains or walking on the beach.
Play football in Finland is to easy for an Italian (I feel to be like Messi when I play with Fins), so I have started playing Gaelic Footballl (it is the national sport from Ireland!).

I am trying to improve my survival skills, and maybe you do not know that if you are in a danger situation and need some water, you can find it squeezing frogs? :-)
