About Me

N. B. I prefer to host during week days, mostly because on weekends i'm out of town.

Check my IG for more info about me :) https://www.instagram.com/thetravelsensei/

CURRENT MISSION
Have a positive impact on the world, shine of happiness to enlight people's lives, be always present in the moment and respect myself and the other beings.
Old Mission --> Exploring the world, human nature and enjoy life as much as I can. I don't want to miss any oppurtinity :)

ABOUT ME
I like old movies, books with deep meaning, amazing videogames, long travels, endless road trips, wild camping, simple life on the beach, but also the business of a city life, good conversations...

I'm talkative and always ready to meet new people, everybody has a story or a passion to talk about; and you can really learn a lot or being inspired from that. I like creative and positive people :)

PHILOSOPHY
Every person had a different path of life. So stop complaining and enjoy this diversity.

Perception = reality

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I think is amazing to be able to rely on unknown people all-over the world. Because in the end is that what couchsurfing is! It makes you feel comfortable and familiar with a person you just met, or not even met yet ;)
So, if I have the chance to help someone unknown but phisically close to me I'm glad to do that :)

I like to meet locals for experience the city as a resident rather than as a tourist. In my opinion to get to know a city or a place in general takes loads of time and it's impossible to discover the right spots/places without any hint.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I used CS both as a guest and a surfer and my experiences were all positive.

Interests

My interests changes pretty fast, according o the place i'm staying and the free time I have. Usually, I always like to push myself toward something I never tried before; in the end if I don't like at least I'll get the experience!

Generally I don't like people who live in the past, musically speaking. There is so much music produced nowadays, why keep listening to 90s music over and over? Same with books! I mean, classics are important to be known and read buuut there are such amazing contemporary writers!
