Italian. Have grown in a nice town near Venice in Italy called Bassano del Grappa.
I consider myself citizen of the world as I lived 4 months in London, 4 months in Lisbon,7 months in Barcelona, 7 months in Paris, 6 months in Santa Barbara (California) and the past 6 years in Miami.
I have had a very extraordinary life so far meaning that I work extremely hard but I also enjoy life extremely hard ;-)...For work I have been working mostly in International sales traveling a lot for business: when I was based in Italy I travelled mostly in Europe for work and in the past 6 years when I was based in Miami I travelled mostly in South America, Caribbean and Mexico. I also have a small translation agency and have been working for 6 years in Miami as stew/mate in luxury yacht charters (mostly in the weekends as I also had my sales job). I love nature and animals. I ride horses and I volunteer in a wolf sanctuary in Portugal mostly every year. I love art especially music, painting and performing arts. I am a painter too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet adventurers and world travelers like me so we can stimulate each others and give mutual inspiring ideas. I travel extensively and I do as many activities as possible so I prefer to save $$ on sleeping and have more budget for my adventures ;-), get stimulated and stimulate hosts on new experiences.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
- Piano & New Age to get inspired: Italian Pianist Ezio Bosso
- R&B for relaxation: Alicia Keys, Al Green etc.
- HIP HOP to exercise
In reality, any kind of music according to different time of the day and activities.
The only one I can not stand is TECHNO and HOUSE

Movies:
- Braveheart
- Gladiator

- Guzaarish
- Drama Korean movies & Romance Bollywood movies
- Inspirational movies like Mount Everest, Point Break, Into the Wild, The Way etc.
