About Me

I´m a 26 years old chill Italian guy who spent the past two years in San Francisco. Briefly I´m a firefighter at heart with a Golden State mindset. Like you I like traveling and meet up with new people around the world. I think that everyone has a story to tell. What´s yours?!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I´m on an interrail in Scandinavia for 3 weeks all the way to southern Europe. I´ve heard very positive things about the CS community and I´m stoked to join!

Interests

Like every Italian I like cooking and eat what I cook. I think that food is one of the joy of life and even if we should not abuse it, we definitely think to take the most out of it.
I love football, the real one played with your feet. Sports in general and spending time outdoor is a must. I work a lot and some physical activity is essential to me.
I honestly like hanging out with my friends. I don´t sacrifice social life for something else usually. Family and friends are one of my cornerstone of my life.

Music, Movies, and Books

Ligabue is definitely my favourite singer. It´s Italian and you probably don´t know him. Anyway he is the guy that I went to listen with friends at concert. Ludovico Einaudi is in my headphones when I need to relax and enjoy the moment.

I´m reading life of Pi now that I´m traveling and I love it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A 16 hours shift that ended putting out a fire that was seriously getting too close to the highway. I´ve been a volunteer firefighter for 1 year before leaving Italy and departure for the American adventure. It´s still the best job in the world to me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you magic tricks and Italian language. The combination is amazing trust me.. You probably saw the scene of Friends with Paolo, right? Then you probably know what I´m talking about.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My culture. If you host me at your house I´ll take care that you´ll have a good Italian dinner.
