About Me

CURRENT MISSION

find an answer to the greatest number of questions that fill my mind

ABOUT ME

Hi folks!

I studied pharmacy in Ferrara. Since june 2014 I'm working in a pharmacy in the small town where I was born, 30 minutes far from Vicenza. I live in a big house in the countryside, where there is enough space for my plants garden.

I'm a very curious person, open to know things, places and people, so I'm always looking for something new to do.

PHILOSOPHY

Do not take anything for granted, do not give in to the habit, do not stop to observe

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can host in the house where I'm currently living in the countryside with my girlfriends.
I'm quite busy with my job in the last period, but when I have guest I always find some time to show them my favourite places in the city. When I'm too busy I just reject the request because I don't like to be that kind of host who gives you just a place to sleep, and I don't like when a guest is not looking for something more. I'd rather have a real exchange by every meeting, sharing experiences and thoughts.

When I'm travelling I like to be hosted by someone who has time to spend with me, not every minute of the day, but at least having dinner together. I'm looking for people not a cheap accomodation. That's why I really appreciate when the others can't host me for the night but they offer me their time to show me something about the place where they live.
I love taking pictures, so I will always ask for interesting and hidden spots that only someone who is living there can know.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I spent last year in Budapest as an erasmus student and that's the place where I started my "Couch Surfing Experience". I hosted several people (still thanks to all my great flatmates: Melinda, Orsolya, Anna-Lena and Arthur!) and I surfed some couch in Romania, in Bulgaria and in Serbia, where I travelled alone for some days.

Interests

First of all: photography. This is my first hobby since 4 years. Here you can have a look to some of my works http://giovannicogo.blogspot.com/
Then there's music, a lot of different kinds, from punk-rock to post-rock.
