About Me

I'm from a small town in northern Italy, surrounded by mountains. I love the sense of comunity that small groups of people with similar aspirations can create between themselves and that's why i love travelling, because create this groups is simplier than in ordinary life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that travelling one can express his spiritual side, often oppressed by the repetition of quotidianity, and that the encounter with new people can be a revelation for our life, helping us to discover a more complex and complete image of ourselves.

Interests

I'm interested in celtic mythology, blues music, boardgames, litterature and poetry, but i like as well more dinamic activities like walking, and snowboarding. I'm curious to discover different traditions and see new places because the world is full of beauty, just sometimes we don't have the eyes to see it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I know how to cook some traditional italian courses, or how to experiment new combinations. I'm not very skilled in playing guitar, but i like it, especially jamming with new people. I have a good knowledge of ancient history and contemporary philosophy and i'm glad if someone wants to have a conversation about that.
