CURRENT MISSION

I have switched to nomadic life in summer 2019. I am travelling the world and looking for volunteering opportunities while I freelance from my laptop part time.

Covid put a stop to things but I'm excited to get going again.
May/June 2022: volunteering in Wildfire Relief in Northern California
June/July: travelling California (accommodation always helpful)
Aug/Sept: dog sitting and traveling in the UK.

I enjoy hiking, swimming (especially outdoors), reading, getting out of my comfort zone, reaching out, sharing kindess and I'm learning to play the ukulele =)

ABOUT ME - Pronouns: He/Him

I grew up in Italy and then spent about 7 years in the UK, mostly in London. I have always been in big towns and behind a desk, so travelling around and volunteering, often in manual jobs, is all new to me. I'm really enjoying discovering more about what the world has to offer. I'd struggle to say more about me right now as so much is changing every week about who I am.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hosted when I was living in Rome and couldn't while in London. So I like to participate by meeting people, sharing my story and hearing theirs, and so on.
It's also incredibly rewarding to meet local people to chat and walk around towns, so it's really not necessarily about the couch! =)

Interests

It's such a huge list!!! Music, yoga, outdoors and everything that makes me feel part of the earth and rivers, swimming, walking, walking and walking more, and just keep going. Reading, cinemas, pop corn and sun.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: from "Le fabuleux destin d'Amelie Poulain" to super-heroes movies, from Miyazaki to stupid comedies. I guess Amelie is one of my all time favourites, together with The Lion King. To keep going: Me and you and everyone we know, The secret life of Walter Mitty, 50 First Dates, Bridesmaids, Kiki delivery service, Howl's moving castle, etc... and Everything and Everywhere All At Once was so fun!

The music I listen to changes every day, I grew up with Oasis and Aerosmith, then Evanescence and Nightwish, soundtracks, instrumental music, pop, now ... I just listen to what I like! Lately into Isbells, Misterwives, and listening to a lot of Indie or softer spotify playlists. Recently fell in love with Noah Kahan, Beta Radio, Hollow Coves, etc.

Books: would like to read more than I actually do, anyway, big fan of S. King, but Kinsella also, fantasy and more. Just read and loved Anxious People by Fredrick Backman

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, the International Yoga Festival has been a great experience, but don't wanna talk of that here, would be too long and too personal.
In summer 2020, having no freelance work (thanks Covid!) I went hiking for 2 months across Italy. 1000km of great trail, experiences and encounters!

Teach, Learn, Share

Cooking, especially because I improve every day, and it's always nice to practice yoga in company. Watching a movie is always ok, walking through the city (and learn something new about it), ... anything! I'm learning the ukulele, would be awesome to strum along with someone else.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, some ukulele strumming, skills (like cooking... At least I can try), time, laughter, paths and sights.

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Belgium, France, Greece, India, Israel, Morocco, Myanmar, Norway, Portugal, Scotland, Spain, Thailand, United Kingdom, United States
