ABOUT ME

I'm Giancarlo, I was born in Rome but I grew up in La Spezia.
I'm not really a big party guy, but I enjoy good company, new people, long chats.
When I was younger I almost never went out of my country (only with school trips), and now I'm trying to take revenge against my no-travelling childhood. So far I've been on five interrail trips, the last four focused on just one country each (Scotland, Poland, Norway, Romania): it's the best way to really breath the soul of a country.

Интересы

I work as a director and am very passionate and movies. In fact I'm working on keeping myself from rambling about it on and on...

I love travelling the "hard way", backpack and tent on a lowbudget.

Music and literature, of course...

I love Hiking and am currently trying to climb every peak in the Apuane Alps, beautiful mountains not too far from where I live. I love running and I often play tennis, but I had to accept the fact that I'm never gonna be skilled (I like it anyway)

I'm learning to juggle and I'm learning french.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

Walked 100km through tundra in the swedish Lapland

Slept in a windmill in Bialowieza (Poland) in the middle of the last ancient forest in Europe;

Risked hypothermia trying to hitchhike (without success) near Cape North, under the midnight sun, after a 18km hike through tundra toward Knivskjellodden, the real northermost place in Europe;

Entered at sunrise in the Barsana monastery, in Maramures (Romania), while the nuns were chanting for the early morning mass. I was the only visitor there, like an intruder in a forbidden place, one of the most beautiful I've ever been;

Walked several kilometers with a 20kg backpack on my back and blisters under my feet to see a scottish castle on a sunday without busses;

Entered Poienari castle (the real castle of Vlad the Impaler, aka Dracula) at dusk, after closure time: it would have been a pity to miss it in my Romania tour, and a nice stray dog from the place suggested me to crawl under the gate, then kept me company during my illegal visit;

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

I'm learning french, and french conversations would be gold to me.

I really need to learn how to cook. It'll come the day when I starve, and it'll be too late to learn...
