CURRENT MISSION: Finding travel and climbing buddies for my trip to Tenerife in July

Originally from Italy, expat for almost ten years. Utrecht, NL is home right now, and I love it. I am a curious human being, who spends way too much time thinking and daydreaming.
I love traveling, especially backpacking. I visited most of Europe and I've been living in the USA for six months going on some amazing roadtrips. I traveled around New Zealand in a campervan for almost one year. I love exploring the outdoors, hiking, camping and climbing. I also love nature and landscape photography.
Advocating for Earth protection, sustainability and civil rights has been my priority for a while.
I love having a community of caring, interesting, and like-minded people around me, be it for going in nature, playing music, climbing, or simply hanging out and having a beer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

- Backpacking and being on-the-road is by far the best way of travelling, having somebody willing to host you makes it even more awesome.
- Being in contact with a local and getting to know new interesting people makes the whole travel experience totally unique.
- it fosters community way more than staying at a BnB
- It's cheap.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite music ranges from classic rock, to alternative and indie, all the way to electronics, as long as it is not very commercial. I like exploring a way broader range of artists and genres normally and I really like to discover new bands and songwriters.
I love reading fantasy and sci-fi novels, as well as books about nature, climate, politics, and spirituality.
I like well-scripted and well-made cinematography of all kinds, from historical fiction to fantasy and sci-fi and comedies.
