I am very creative and cheerful person, enthusiast and positive about life in general, curious and respectful when dealing with different cultures, always willing to share and learn from experience. I am more of a long term traveller because really like genuinely diving-in countries and cultures but this is not always possible, sadly.
I am sensitive to any form of beauty and manifestation of the simplest know-how. Ultimately I am a dreamer.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am not picky and usually rather open to a variety of genres, in particular I am impressed by great story-lines and powerful photography. Certainly many discovery-related sci-fi and fantasy well directed movies are among my favorites but lately my passion for Sorrentino's films is remarkable.
My playlist is very eclectic, depending on the mood, however I usually listen to Coldplay, Florence and the Machine, Bjork, electro music but never dislike some genuine folkloristic live music or unplugged session especially when recommended by locals or experts.
I like reading blogs and magazines about travels and nature, art, design and fashion, architecture and photography books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Many years ago I crossed Peloponnesus from south to north on a motorbike for 9h non-stop ride, hugging my partner all the way through while falling asleep from time to time (yes that was a bit reckless). But probably the most amazing thing is that after 11years with Matteo I would do the same over and over again.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach italian, Western Art and Architecture history, some specific design and creative softwares (3d modelling, Adobe Photoshop and so forth) as well as handrawing.
I always look forward to learn as much as possible through sharing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to share life experiences and knowledge, some delicious italian recipes and cheerful loughs.
