We are Marco and Gabriele, two guys from Lecce (South Italy). We live and work together. We are a couple who love to travel and meet new people: our interest is to know other people's culture and mix it with ours. Now, it's hard to write about us in this way, because we're so different! So, we present ourselves one by one.

I'm Gabriele, 25. I'm a university student, specialized in English and German.
I'm interested in analogic photography and fashion - I create items and clothes. I also do modeling for emergent brands. I love writing, reading, going out with friends and partying.
I'm also obsessed with details and little things, habits and songs that make me in peace with myself.
My brain is always in movement, so I always search for new ideas.

I'm Marco, I'm 30. Easy going guy in love with contemporary art and poetry... I work in visual arts as artist and curator, collaborating with some art galleries. I also love photography. I really like to read books, listen to good music and watch films.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's the best way to meet new people and share what we love with them. Also, it's a human way to travel.

Music, Movies, and Books

We love classic films from Hitchcock, Truffaut, Godard, Pasolini, Fellini, ecc.
About the contemporary directors: Xavier Dolan, Lars Von Trier, Tarantino.
But there are so many other movies we can talk about.

We love poetry books, but also novels.
(Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Plath, David Grossman, Cesare Pavese, Michael Cunningham, ecc).

We listen to almost every type of music, just some example: Alt-J, Mongo Santamaria, Strauss, Cigarettes After Sex, Italian songwriters from the 60s, Soko, Miles Davis, Beatles, and so on.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We climbed a mountain with some friends in Anento, a little city near a wonderful tiny lake in Spain. We saw the sunset from there, it was a really wonderful moment.

In 2018 we did a one month long travel: Lecce-Milan-Cologne-London-Amsterdam-Berlin, meeting a lot of new people and making new friends. It was awesome.

In 2019 we realized one of our dream: we saw the Atlantic Ocean from Cabo da Roca, the end of Europe.

Teach, Learn, Share

We can teach you some photography basic stuff, if you have a reflex camera (or you can use ours!).
Maybe cook some special italian food (we really love to cook for other people).
But also just partying!

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you need or like it, you can go around with us and we can show you some secret places in the city.
