About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I would like to see the words "The Adventures of" boldly appear before my name.

ABOUT ME

I'm Italian. Born and raised in Brooklyn, NYC. Spent much of my time exploring Manhattan, working and going to school. I'm someone with a lot of responsibility in my life, but really knows how to have a good time.

PHILOSOPHY

i crawled into this space in the tunnel of my mind; watching pieces of myself drag along corridors of contemplation, bleeding blood of many colors. i sat in the dark, painting with my flesh, frustrating over how bad it's going. It's all a confusing mess; though i insist upon making something, one day, something beautiful.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, a friend of mine has hosted some people before, which I have also met and hung out with. Since I live alone, I thought it might be cool to host some myself. I've lived in New York my whole life. I know this city inside and out. I figure some people might find me useful.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new. But like I said: I've hung out with surfers before, even had some good times partying and showing them around.

Interests

Wow.. well.. i'm an artist, so pretty much anything creative will attract my attention. I can't live long without music. I have a deep interest in video gaming, not just playing, but someday, developing one of my own.
I'm an athletic outdoors type, which I try to balance with the above. In the summer I like to cycle around the city to various parks and beaches. When it's cold, I have a nack for finding ways to get cozy. I'm a bit hyper-consious, which makes me extremely insightful about things.. -rarely a dull conversation.

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent three days on horse back in the Mountains of Colorado. Was a special time for me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have knowledge of a lot of things, and I'm a good teacher, but I'm not sure what someone would want to learn.
I would love to teach foreigners to play New York City Handball. Not to be mistaken with European Handball. They are two very different sports. Anyone who sees you playing "Big Blue" will know you've been to New York City.
As for me: Anyone with knowledge of guitar or keyboard is always welcome in my house.
