ABOUT ME

We live in Ceggia a town not very far from Venice and famous for its popular Carnival wich is smaller compare with Venice but very very nice!

It takes about 45 minutes by train or car and about 1h by bus to get Venice.You can also reach Jesolo and Caorle Beaches in less than half an hour with a car or bus.
I got married in 2006 with Francesca and we live together in a house very close to the small city center.
In august 2009 our family became of three : we welcomed Jacopo in a hot hot day!
I work as software developer in a software house while Francesca is a physical terapist in a hospital.We love travelling around the world, eat at etnich restaurant and playing football(also Francesca do it in a female soccer league!) and beach-volley during the summer season.
We collect fridge magnets,love to cook, but while my secret ingredient is fantasy , Francesca follows the recipe step by step..so good mix.

PHILOSOPHY

I think we live in a world where everyone should be happy and in peace..I know it's not like that but I also think everyone can do his part.Travel is the best way to understand the differences between us and other people.Is the way to destroy walls and misunderstanding. So don't wait any more..pack your baggages and go!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Can host max 2-3 people.No couch so you have to take with you your sleeping bag and airbeds!(we are now thinking about to buy a sofa bed)
Our street ends with a bycicle path so the whole area is very quite during day and night.We can provide towels and blankets if you need any.
In the garden during summer months you can sunbath or have dinner outside.It would be a great idea to dine together and have conversation.
If we are not busy we can show you around.
We live in a residencial area so you'll find what you need nearby where we live :
Supermarket,Backery,Coiffeur,Bar,Newsstand,Bus stop in 5 min. by feet.
Take away pizza and kebab,landry,pastry shop,pizzeria & restaurants,banks and bancomat service,shoes and clothes shops,pharmacy in 10 min. by feet.
Train station to get Venice or Trieste in 15 min. by feet.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

2.Angela & Lorenzo from Los Angeles USA

We met with other Csurfers in the area and was great!We spent together only the time for a drink but it was a great experience. Hope to meet them as soon as possible again.

Interests

I (Ivan) love aircrafts (when I book an air ticket I don't look only for the best price..but also for the plane model will bring me at destination...hope to fly the A380 as soon as possible), geography (since I was I child I played my games with atlas and maps!), world politic and generally everithing happens around me.Backpacker's travel philosophy I think is the best : we both like very much visit places without booking hotels or accomodations, just a lonely planet guide in our pocket and we are ready to go.

Francesca loves everithing about "calcetto".. (soccer) as she used to play in a female soccer team (before Jacopo's birth..'cause now she's at home doing the best mummy I know...).She likes to watch soccer and as every girl she loves shopping!She could buy 2/3 bags or shoes per day!!!!
