About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travelling europe!

ABOUT ME

I'm a sound engineer, I work in a studio and I am a sound guy in live music clubs in Florence and the surrounding area.
I play guitar in a band, “Simon and The Strangers”, we call our music space rock, whatever that means...

Except for music, I love cooking - my friends call me "mommy" 'cause i always cook for everyone and I can say, it's good stuff!
I like reading, my favs are Truman Capote, Murakami Haruki, Orwell, Fante, Mishima, and italian writers like Buzzati and Calvino. I'd like to meet people who can talk about books they've read.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm spreading the word! I can host again but I work most nights, so we should have to plan it a little. Very available for showing the city!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been one whole week in Rotterdam and I was hosted by Sylvia Friedrich: she and all her roommates were so kind, they lend me a bike, a housekey, we ate together everytime we could and explored Rotterdam...it was wonderful.
The last two days I was hosted by Geerte Muis one night and Shahao Zhai another one, I didn't get to know them so good but I they were really kind and we had a good time together.
So it was my first travel with couchsurfing. planning to do more and more.
I've hosted Geerte and her sister back in Prato, I was glad to return the favor.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've witnessed a "Santa's Run" in Rotterdam, there were about 2500 people dressed in Santa's fashion and some were drunk and some were smoking and everyone of them was having fun...
I played my third show at Exit, Rotterdam, my legs where shakin' like crazy but I played and sang all my songs, and I was interviewed for a local internet radio.
