About Me

I'm a student of fine art, I want to try to travel but I don't like the tourist mode. I think my English isn't very good so I'd like to talk and learn as much as possible to improve it! For this reason this year (2016) I started my erasmus in czech republic and at the end I will do Interrail trip.
I love read and write, I also play the bass guitar and obviously I love Draw and paint, maybe I'm an artist but I don't know, if we meet you can see my work and tell me what do you think about it.
I think I'm a little bit shy and I talk only with the people with i stay good, but if i start to talk i can continue for all day.
I'd like to meet new people for talk about their and my stories and have new experiences.
So, for fall into the cliché, I’m an Italian guy and I love pasta, I can cook it in many way, also I love coffee but espresso and pizza and I will try to don’t drink and eat them in other place if not in Italy, sorry .
But for broke the obvious I don’t like the football and I can’t play Mandolino and cook pizza because i can burn your kitchen ( I joke ;D ).
So I think that is not all but I prefer meet and talk. Bye

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've known CS because my friend tried it and told me something about it.
Before that I've always thought that a travel is a way to see the world, see new places and meet with new people.
The CS could give me the opportunity to do this, it's an opportunity; live a new city and see it with the eyes of the people who live there. That, for me, it's amazing!
I had only one experience in CS, in Brno. I was hosted in a house with some students and it was a great great time. I felt happy and free to talk about many stuff.
I have not visited tourist places and I felt welcomed like a family member.
For this reason I will try to use CS for all my trips.

Interests

Well, first of all I'm a painter, so I like art and all my experiences i try to read in artistic way.
I love the art in many of its genres as: literature, music, movies and comics.
Many of my friends are artist, Someone play music, someone try to write, someone like me is a painter, and someone studies subject about matematic and science they aren't artist but they are creatives too and much funnies.
I like read, listen music and talk.
Last thing: I don't like football, doesn't matter?! But since it seems that football and Italy are closely related, well, not for this time!
