ABOUT ME

I come from Italy and since many years I live in Berlin (DE) with my girlfriend Antonella. I like travels, short or long doesn’t matter as long as we keep moving.
I see myself as positive, keen on invest my time on -live- music, outdoor activities and learning about people's interests. Sometimes I feel amazing how easy and pleasant is breaking the ice with unknown people, listening and learning what can be shared.
I love life and traveling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing is travel the world as much as I can.
Going home by bike in 2021.
Japan & Korea backpacking in 2023.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like cooking so I can share a meal :) I like also playing freestyle and ultimate frisbee and having language tandem. I adore listening stories and I can share mines.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Up to the host. I like cooking so I would be happy to cook something in Italian style. Or just going out for a drink and chat.
