About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Try to leave something meaningful on this earth before I die.

ABOUT ME

I'm nothing.
I'll always be nothing.
I can't want to be something.

But I have in me all the dreams of the world.

Non sono nulla,
mai sarò nulla,
non posso voler essere nulla.
Detto questo, porto in me tutti i sogni del mondo.

- Pessoa -

PHILOSOPHY

These are some phrases that show well my philosophy:

"Ma di tutto bisogna scorgere la fine"
"But of everything you have to see the end"
Erodoto

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm living in Rome, looking for a better job.
I can't host right now but I used to do it in the past and I enjoyed a lot. I miss meeting people and showing them Rome, share thoughts and lives with them. With Couchsurfing I made friendships. Some of the experiences are written in the feedbacks travelleres left.

The magic of meeting.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help you with the Italian language since I am an Italian teacher to foreigners. (If you want, I can also show you some Italians recipes).

I can play the guitar and I can teach you how to do it (just if you are not already an Eric Clapton...)

I can do some basic juggling

I write poems, but this is something we probably can't teach. But we can share and listen to each other.
