Hello,
I'm Marco, I'm 40 years old and I'm Italian.

After a good ten years working, I decided for a break and off I went.
I've been travelling quite a lot in South East Asia and some other parts of the world in the last years and now I'm on a journey around the Pacific Ocean.

I write, I read, I take photographs and I have a special passion for cooking! In fact, I would love to learn to cook local specialties during my journey!

I'm easy going and get along with everybody very well. I'm respectful and at the same time very curious about all what is around me, about new persons and cultures!

Looking forward to meet you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Monument, museums and landscapes are wonderful but then a great journey is made of encounters and real interaction with people!

There is no better way to get in touch with the local reality and with new persons than sharing a home with them for a while.

Interests

I have quite a few different interests, but most of all I'm interested in understanding different ways of thinking and living in this world.
I read a lot, to get this from books, but nothing better than getting it directly from the people.

I'm also a amateur photographer, I like to write and... well, I like very much to cook!
