I am an Italian / Canadian guy, currently based in Montreal. I love the outdoors (backcountry hiking, skiing, kayaking, canoeing, dog sledding), volunteering, dogs, sports (rugby, trail running, fitness, cycling), and of course traveling :-)

Always up for meeting fellow CSers and travelers alike!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don't like to be a mere tourist, I like meeting up with locals and like-minded travelers. I have met many good friends through Couchsurfing and I love being part of this great community.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love all sorts of genres of music.
I couldn't live without books, I am usually always reading something. I'm also in the process of writing my first book :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have visited more than 75 countries and lived in a dozen :-)

Teach, Learn, Share

I speak English / Italian / Spanish fluently, and some German and French too.
I can teach you Italian, English and Spanish, as well as how to fund long-term traveling.

What I Can Share with Hosts

The chance to learn a new language, Italian cuisine, many travel stories, tons of funny stories and more!
