CURRENT MISSION

Share the love that I have for life and some energy from the Volcano!

ABOUT ME

Easy going guy ,friendly ,open minded ,lived in different parts of europe. Worked and lived in USA and interested to meet new people.
I usually talk a lot and i try to keep the conversation rolling ,with differnt topics and always makin sure eveyrydboy is havin good time and enjoy the enviroment and the people around. Sometimes i am too much even for my self .,..lol... so i take breaks to recharge my batteries and start all over again . I try to live life has much as i can ,no matter how long ,as much that u live it good and u dont have regrets about what u didnt do and u shuld have done ..its always worthed to try and go all the way ,and not lookin behind and complain about what u left or u never did ...anyway ..Keep it positive and life is beautiful!!!!!
I am extremely proud of my city and my roots , thats why I have been an Ultras Catania since I am a teeneger and i love my team, my colours, but mostly my brothers of my group and the friends I made during those many years in every stadiums of Italy and Europe, specially in Dortmund!

PS...VERY IMPORTANT...I DON'T DO TOURISTY STUFF AND I AM NOT A TOURIST GUIDE ..I ENJOY LIFE, ENJOY MEETING NEW PEOPLE AND SHARE MOMENTS AND LEARN ABOUT DIFFERNT CULTURES, AND I LOVE TO CHILL AND RELAX WHEN I AM NOT WORKIN, SO I NEED MY TIME AND MY FUN, AND YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME TO JOIN ME!!! I WON'T WALK ARUND OR DRIVE AROUND, WHILE THERE ARE 40 DEGREES(CELCIUS) OUTSIDE (I PREFER LIE IN A NICE BEACH RESORT, WITH ALL COMFORTS),OR ITS RAININ AND COLD ..ITS NOT FUN AND ITS NOT WHAT I USUALLY DO !!!!..JOIN ME , ENJOY WITH ME WHAT I USUALLY DO , EXPERIENCE MY LIFESTYLE , MY FRIENDS AND MY CITY AND I THINK YOU WILL HAVE AN AMAZING CS EXPERIENCE ,..BUT IF YOU ARE LOOKIN FOR SOMEBODY THAT WOULD SHOW YOU ALL THE TOURIST THINGS ,AND THAT WILL GOT OUT OF HIS WAY FOR YOU ,WELL IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN WITH ME (WELL, FOR SURE I WILL SHOW MY CITY, WHILE WE GO OUT TOGETHER, AND WHAT IS NICE ABOUT IT AND WHAT WE LIKE TO DO , EAT, DRINK AND LIVE WITH)..SOOOOOO..... HAPPY SURFING AND ENJOY CATANIA AND SURROUNDS ..WITHOUT PLANNIN TOO MUCH AND STRESSIN TOO MUCH, CAUSE LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL AND WITH ME, GOOD TIME IS GUARANTEED...CIAO PEOPLE!

UPDATING IMPORTANT THINGS: I LIVE OUTSIDE THE CITY,IN THE COUNTRY ,AS I EXPLAIN IN MY COUCH DESCRIPTION, THAT MEANS I AM NOT CLOSE TO TRAIN STATION OR BUS STATION OR AIRPORT, AS WALKING DISTANCE..IF YOU HAVE A CAR, MY PLACE IS IDEAL, CAUSE I HAVE PLEANTY SPACE FOR PARKING AND YOU CAN BE INDIPENDENT AND REACH EVERYTHING ANYTIME. IF YOU DONT, YOU NEED TO DEAL WITH MY LIFE AND WORK SCHEDULE, AND I DONT GO TO EXPLORE THE CITIES DURING DAY TIME OR CLIMB THE VOLCANO, I JUST GO BEACH OR POOL IN SUMMER, OR DO MY THINGS AS A NORMAL PERSON. IF YOU WANT HIKE, CLIMB, EXPLORE, DIVE, ROLL, RUN ..IN THE VOLCANO, AND YOU DONT HAVE A CAR , IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE, I MEAN , IMPOSSIBLE TO REACH IT FROM MY PLACE BY BUS . SO I WOULD SUGGEST TO SEARCH FOR SOMEBODY ELSE THAT LIVES IN THE CITY CENTER OR IS WILLING TO DRIVE YOU UP THERE AND ENJOY WITH YOU ..I DONT DO IT AND I DONT ENJOY , SO POINTLESS ASKING .
AS YOU CAN SEE, I HOSTED HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE, MOST OF THEM WITHOYT CARS, BUT PRETTY EASY GOING AND FLEXIBLE AND ENJOY FUN AND RELAX, SO IF YOU LIKE THIS KIND OF EXPERIENCE, THEN I AM PERFECT FOR YOU! I WORK A LOT IN THE CITY CENTER, SO GOIN THERE WITH ME AND STROLL IN THE CITY OR OTHER PLACES WHILE I WORK, SOUNDS GREAT TO ME AND YOU CAN ALWAYS COME BACK HOME WITH ME OR COME BY BUS AFTERWORDS...ANYWAY ..I HOPE IS LIL MORE CLEAR AND IF THAT WOULD MEANS HOSTING VERY FEW PEOPLE PEOPLE, WELL I AM HAPPY LIKE THIS AND I WILL ENJOY THOSE FEW ARE COMING AND CHOOSING ME!

...one more thing....

GRAZIE A DIO SON CATANESE!!!!!!!!!!...Marca Liotro!

PHILOSOPHY

Never say never...in english

Ri unni mi chiovi,mi sciddica....lol...in Catanese!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

would like to start with getting to know more people ,host as many as i can ,enjoy different culture and spirits in the world and travel.

Since i started couchsurfing ,my life has been changing soooo much in a positive way and i cant wait to keep going on this project and share parts of my life and my knowledges with many surfers all over the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Never did it before .Actually just few days ago i had my first one and was great! can wait to host other cool people .Dec 2008
Well.,.now ..March 2009 ..i can say that has been amazing .and i have been loving it ..so far just meeting people and hosting..gettin ready to be hosted in Germany on my way to Denmark ,and Denmark as well.I hope would be as good as is hosting.
Just back from my trip in North Europe ,May 2009 ,and i keep saying,even more than before ,that i love CS and i am so happy to be part of it and i met amazing people that would be in my thoughts and my life forever..thanks a lot for everythin!
October 2009...just came back from my trip in Wien-Bratislava-Budapest...confirm even more...that CS shuld be awarded from the international community cause is an amazin thing and the people i met and shared time with ..are somethin that u cant meet everyday and i love them all! Thanks soooo much and I would never stop to think about those amazing days i spent with them!

Check this out ...lol!

DEC 2009....exactly one year now, and what can i say ..is just ..THANK YOU CS ,cause changed my life ,made me more happy and alive than ever ,and introduced me to tons of amazing people that are part of my life and my heart and give me happiness, and who i have been sharing with , amazing experiences!

December 2010!!!! Has been 2 years now ....and you know what? I am lovin it even more!!! the best thing the net could ever create and the best opportunity of meetin and sharin and partyin and learnin ..and more and more ..thanks again CS...and i hope to keep doin it more and more , well maybe till the end of my days ..who knows? The Volcano is full of snow! ,.,lol .for the ones has been in my house and know the view that i got ..ciao people!

Dec 2011...well has been 3 years now and i can consider myself part of this porject , after hostin and surfin and travelling so much and experienced so many new things and met many more inetresting people ...i hope i can keep goin on doin it for long time and i just love people that look to surf with me cause they enjoy my company , my lifestyle and wanna hang out with me , and not cause they just look for a place for crash and sleep ...thanks Cs for allowed me to open my soul even more and helped me to meet amazing people that are still part of my life ...waitin for more!!!!

Dec2012: Has been exactly 4 years now that I am doin CS, and as you can see with a lot of passion and extremely active ..well ...in the last year, sadly, things changed and i dont feel anymore so happy and part of the project ...the site became some kind of generic free sleepin spot research and all the generic and impersonal way of requestin and hopin to be hosted, wthout puttin efford on lookin for a nice host that would fit your lifestyle and experience, well i am not into it..i liked the old way, when people where really lookin for profile , and read about it and choose you cause of you, not without knowin your name or where you live and your conditions of life, but just to have an easy and free place to crash ...Well thats why i havent been hostin much the last year and i will host less and less, if i receive such requests and i hope there will be still some people willing to read about me and decide to stay with me cause of ME!...I am glad i met amazing people before and i hope maybe some will come in the future ...lets see!

Dec 2013: well, has been 5 years , and sadly i am not hostin much anymore , cause this new system of Cs totally ruined the real spirit and the joy of sharing moments and good time with my guests. I really hope that things will be back as was at the begin , and i am looking forward for some personal and nice requests of people i can enjoy time with and make me want host a lot

UPDATE, MAY 2019. HI THERE, KINDA BACK IN THE LOOP :) BUT LIFE CHANGED AND I AM VERY EASY GOING AND FLEXIBLE, BUT VERY BALANCE AND RELAXED ORIENTATED. I LIKE TO BE WITH MY DOGS, MY LAND, ENJOY PEACE AND NICE MOMENTS. FEEL FREE TO ASK MORE. PEACE AND LOVE
