CURRENT MISSION

Get the best from life! :)

ABOUT ME

I'm Sergio and I'm from Rome, Italy.
I'm a very laid back person, very nice - so they say! - and I'm always looking for chances to experience interculturality. I love travelling and meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've had experiences only as a couchsurfer, never as a host. Since my experiences have all been extremely positive, I think I am ready to take the next step!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think the most amazing thing I've done so far is volunteer work. It came absolutely out of nowhere: I had to lead some international exchanges in Romania, France and Turkey about disability with physically and mentally challenged participants or orphans. I had no experience whatsoever, but I'm usually a person that tries everything. It was absolutely mind blowing: you tend to think that it's hard, you say to yourself "you're too sensitive to do something like that", but then you discover that it's you the one that sets the limits.

Teach, Learn, Share

I work with languages, so that's something that I can share and that I'm interested in. I speak italian, english and spanish, and some french. I would love to improve my french and I'd love to get on the portuguese language too.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A nice sofa bed in my living room. A nice meal. A nice stroll through the city.
