My name is Lorenzo, I run a publishing house in Rome (www.uppa.it). We make books and magazines for parents and their children. I am very proud of my job and enjoy it very much.

When I'm not making books I explore the planet: after having visited and/or lived in more than 30 countries i still can't get enough! I like to travel slow and green: cycling is my first option, but I don't mind walking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As you can see I have a Pioneer badge ;) I am on CS since almost 10 years now and this community has changed a lot. I believe we can steel keep the genuine CS spirit alive by sharing our time with travelers/hosts. This is not a way to get free accomodation! Please do not use it a such.
