I'm an Italo-Canadian ecologist who loves wildlife and nature and is very passionate about environmental conservation. I am adventurous, love to travel and meet new people, my father says I'm a bit of a gypsy. I've lived in Canada, Italy, and now call Belgium home. I've had many different types of jobs and my life has taken me many different places, but I'm a well grounded person. I like to think I have the best of both Canadian and Italian qualities.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm new to couch surfing so I thought I'd like to try it out. I often travel alone for various reasons, and think that this could be a nice way to meet some new people with similar spirits about enjoying meeting new people and sharing things.

Teach, Learn, Share

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm afraid I have no musical talent (though I've always wanted to learn) and my voice would make you run for cover, but I can cook a decent risotto or pasta dish as you please.
