I’m a Design and Communication student from Naples.
I love traveling, especially through youth cultural exchanges supported by the European Union. I’ve also done an Interrail trip, which really shaped the way I see Europe.

Alongside my studies, I work in a restaurant as a waiter and as the social media manager.
I practice parkour, which helps me stay connected with my body and better understand myself and the space around me.

I’m interested in philosophy and I follow politics just enough to understand the world we live in.
I care a lot about the environment, especially when it comes to fast fashion. For the past two years, I’ve only bought second-hand clothes.

I’m a very honest and direct person. I don’t like overcomplicating things or going around in circles. I value clarity and transparency, especially in a society that already feels complicated enough.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

When I travel, especially during European exchanges, I often have a few days on my own. I like solo travel, but what I really enjoy is sharing a place with someone who belongs to it.

I’m on Couchsurfing because I prefer conversations over checklists, and lived experiences over tourist attractions. I like discovering cities in a more intimate and cultural way, and connecting with people from different backgrounds.

For me, Couchsurfing is not just about traveling, but about exchanging perspectives and feeling part of a place, even if just for a short time.

Musica, film e libri

I don’t read a lot, but I listen to a lot of music and I watch many movies, especially TV series and sitcoms.

Musically, I listen to many genres, but I’m mostly into Italian indie music. I’m drawn to songs with a philosophical background or lyrics that explore deeper ideas and reflections. One of my favorite bands is Eugenio in Via Di Gioia.

When it comes to TV series, sitcoms are my comfort zone. My all-time favorite is The Office. I also really enjoy Friends, How I Met Your Mother, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and Modern Family.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

One of the most meaningful things I’ve done was joining my first youth exchange in Georgia. It was the first time I traveled completely on my own, to a country I didn’t know, with people I had never met before.

That week changed me a lot. I felt comfortable in an unfamiliar environment, built real connections, and met people who are still my friends today. We worked on a topic I deeply care about, fast fashion, which helped me grow both personally and in terms of awareness.

It wasn’t just a trip, but a moment when I realized I’m able to step out of my comfort zone, trust myself, and feel at home even far from home.

Insegna, impara, condividi

I can share a simple, honest and direct way of approaching life. I believe that if you feel like doing something, you should try it instead of overthinking it too much. Life already feels complicated enough, so I value clarity, openness and authenticity in the way I relate to people and experiences.

From others, I’d like to learn how to build something more lasting. Traveling a lot and taking part in short experiences has taught me many things, but it has also made me reflect on the importance of continuity, commitment and long-term projects.

I see Couchsurfing as a space where both things can meet.

Cosa posso offrire ai padroni di casa

I can share good Italian food brought directly from Naples, a city with a deep and genuine food culture.
But more than that, I enjoy sharing long, late-night conversations. I think one of the best parts of living together is coming back home and finding someone to talk to, exchange thoughts with, and simply share the moment.
