About Me

Currently traveling across Aotearoa! :D

I graduated in law but after few months of practicing I decided to rather follow my passions, became a professional kitesurf instructor and travel the world; "live the dream" kind of life, even though being a good instructor is a proper job and not just vacation.

In the last years I've been stuck home for a while 'cause recovering from some snowboard injuries, so I also had a normal office job but it's not really for me, so now i'm back on the road again!

My aim is to travel the world for a few years searching for the place which best fits myself and my life plans, but before settling there is sooo much to see, so many people to meet, activities to be tried, food to be tasted, music to listen to...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe meeting people is what life is all about.

Basically I'm looking forward to meet some friends because traveling alone sometimes makes me spleen :)

Interests

I'm a Board Sports and Action Sports enthusiast: Surfing, Snowboarding, Kite Surfing, Climbing, free diving... But i'm keen to try whichever proposed new activity! :)

I also practice at a low level Gymnastics and Capoeira and dance a bit of Salsa and Bachata.

I love to cook! :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can offer you some kite and/or surf lessons, and I can also cook for you some italian dishes or international ones as well ;)

If you want to, I can teach you some Italian and I'm super-keen to learn new languages!

I know many jokes... XD

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am super tidy, and I will help you at home if you like; I share an apartment back home and had many different houses and flatmates in the past years, so I deeply understand what it means to share the living place and how to be a good guest.

I will find my way to give back :)
