ABOUT ME

This isn't easy at all.

I have a lot of cultural interests, above all literature and cinema, obviously music, but also figurative and performing arts. I love travelling but I'm a little bit lazy at visiting monuments and museums, although I really like them. The fact is that I'm so fascinated by observing (and taking part in) typical people's day and night life that I can hardly find time for other things.
Moreover I love spending time on the beach, doing sport (football or 5-aside when possible), having a good meal (with good wine).

As you could have already guessed I like clubbing and meeting new friends from all over the world.
So far I've lived in Acquaformosa (my tiny village), Rome, Turin, Seville, Liverpool, Bournemouth and London.

Last but not least... I support myself writing for newspaper and magazine and working in the publishing house environment as an editor and a translator. If you can read Italian (but there is also an issue in Spanish, and a second one coming), you can have a look to the literature webzine that I run: www.collacolla.org

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
