Hi there!

My name is Marcello, I grew up in Torino, Italy. When I was 18, I lived in the USA for 1 year during a student exchange program and the experience changed my life completely! From then on, I opened my mind and my heart to meet new people from different corners of the earth - and I never stopped traveling.

I like spontaneous decisions: the ones you take with your heart even if they don't seem logical.
To have the freedom to wake up in the morning and decide to go on a journey spontaneously makes me feel happy. I would say I'm easy-going, open-minded, and ... sometimes funny :)

I studied international relations in my bachelor's in Italy, and management in Berlin to finally end up working as a freelance marketer in Berlin and... all over the world. But don't think of me as one of those boring business freaks that only talk about the latest acquisition of Amazon. I've been a ballet dancer, an actor, I've volunteered in Brazilian favelas, made Indian rituals of initiation to meditation practices, singed "Rasputin" in front of a Moscow audience, surfed in Portugal, and I love Art.

I also love to have deep conversations with new people, get to know different cultures and ways of doing things as it really enriches my mind and my soul. I consider myself a moderate extrovert - I will talk to you and try to establish the connection but I can also be very private and autonomous. It all depends on the person I have in front.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because of my passion for meeting new people and experiencing new places!

Every story is unique and I like to get to know more of you guys!

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to different kinds of music... open for any genre depending on the mood :)

Movies is a tough one. I love Paul Thomas Anderson as director, and Daniel Day Lewis is my favourite actor. I also like Tarantino and Scorsese but from time to time a good old drama is also fine :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Picked up my girlfriend in front of her mother.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach the basics of marketing - how to get your message across in the world. I'm quite an expert in Linkedin - I manage various pages for companies - so I can give you a complete makeover of your profile.

Of course, I can help you with Italian or English - not at a professional level but I'm fluent in both.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good mood, fun times, stories and memories.
