CURRENT MISSION

Helping tourists in Venice: http://www.italianbuddy.com

ABOUT ME

They would probably say that I'm a quiet, introverted guy, but I'm also trustworthy, kind and dependable

PHILOSOPHY

It's a bit weird to summarize it here, but mostly I think we should all leave something behind, meaning that at least something you did should be important or meaningful for somebody else

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I mostly host people.
I am also creating a guide, approved by Couchsurfing as well, meant to help tourists save up money and time in Venice.

On our webiste: http://www.italianbuddy.com/ you can find more informations about the project plus several hints and tips for your trip.

A quick note: people who live in Venice get lots of requests. Please read my couch information before doing so. During high season I receive 4-5 requests per day, in order to have a better luck:
1) DON'T LOOK FOR A COUCH THE DAY BEFORE OR THE SAME DAY YOU'LL ARRIVE
2) I VERY VERY VERY RARELY HOST MORE THAN 1 PERSON.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met quite a few interesting persons and I really like learning stuff from people of far countries

Interests

I play the trumpet in a couple of bands. I really like cooking, and I'm quite good at it. I've also recently learned to row, in the traditional venetian style, and I teach friends and others how to do it, here in Padua.
