About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Let my guests have a wonderful stay in Copenhagen!

ABOUT ME

I am a keen on meeting people from all around the world, discovering their cultures and lifestyle. I love traveling and eating!

PHILOSOPHY

I fight for goodness. I believe in experience. I think that everything happens for a reason and teaches something to us! I strongly believe in love which is the only unbeatable and eternal force in our lives and in the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love couchsurfing because it gives me the chance to dive into new places by a authentic, local perspective, which I think is of a great value according to the kind of travel experience that I love to have.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: The hours by Stephen Daldry; The graduate by Mike Nichols; Le fabuleux destin D'Amélie Poulain by Jean-Pierre Jeunet; Barry Lyndon and Lolita by Stanley Kubrick, The secret window by David Kowpp; The trial by Orson Welles; Te doy mis ojos by Icíar Bollaín; Fried Green Tomatoes by Jon Avnet etc etc.

Music: I really like indipendent rock, nouvelle vague and italian singer-songwriter music. Some artists I usually listen to are Ben cocks, Azure Ray, Billie the vision and the dancers, The killers, Cocorosie, Villeneuve, The coldplay, Giorgio Gaber, Max Gazzè, Lucio Battisti, Fabrizio de Andrè, Eugenio Finardi, Franco Battiato, Sigur Rós, Yann Tierse, Nouvelle Vague, Placebo, MGMT, The Radiohead and many others!

I like reading but don't devote to it as much time as I would like to. Between my favorite books are Psicomagía by Alejandro Jodorowsky, Siddharta by Herman Hesse, Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka, Erections, Ejaculations, Exhibitions and General Tales of Ordinary Madness by Charles Bokowsky. I also like reading Gabriele D'Annunzio and Luigi Pirandello.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sitting on a car while the driver drove against the flow on a hilly town. Luckily it was early in the morning and almost nobody was there, but it scared me a lot!

Visiting whole Andalucía: an amazing region in the south of Spain!

Jumping into the snow in Sweden and driving a snowmobile 65 miles per hour!

Getting lost in the Schwarzwald.

Hiking Snowdon during a snow storm.

Having a winter bath in Copenhagen's canal.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you my mother-tongue language, Italian, but we can also practice together Spanish, French, English and Danish! I am also willing to learn German and Portuguese!

I can teach you how to cook Italian food such as pasta, risotto, lasagne!

I can be your Cicero in Copenhagen! And in Treviso/Venice when I am there!
