About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travelling, Knowing, Meeting, Opening my mind

ABOUT ME

Hi to everyone! I hope that by joining this community I'll have some chances to meet new people and to know new places! It's great to have friends abroad.

PHILOSOPHY

I think that life is meant to be lived in respect for other people and for nature, while looking for our own happiness. In this way, I think travelling and getting to know other cultures is a fantastic way to find a balance on ourselves and to appreciate more what we've accomplished in life.
"Please be a traveller not a tourist" - Andrew Zimmern

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Actually I don't have any room for hosting.. Anyway I'd be very happy to guide and offer a meal to anyone who's willing to travel through my region, which is very lively particularly in summer!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just Coachsurfing Local Meetings up to now!

Interests

I'm quite a social guy, I like to stay among people, go out for a drink or, seldom, go to discos. I'm a volunteer for a ONP which advocates for environment and animal rights. I'm also very interested in politics, economics and sociology. I like to swim and walk, which is my main sport activity, and to try other sports once in a while (not involving high places.. :))

Music, Movies, and Books

As regards music I like mainly Rock, Jazz, Acid Jazz, Nu Jazz, Indie, Ethnic.. Watching movies is another great passion of mine: I watch almost everything, depending on the mood I'm in. Among my favorite ones there are V for Vendetta, Lord of the Rings, Red Cliff, A Single Man, American History X, Capitalism: A Love Story, and many many more...In the end, Books. I've read many books, it'd be too hard to list every book I've read, but my favorite writers are Bukowski, Fante, Baricco, Brown.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think the most amazing experience I have had is one afternoon of canyoning on the mountains in Umbria.. never seen more beautiful landscapes in my life!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm quite experienced in Economics and Philosophy.. aside from the boring matters, I like delving into conspiracies and all the unconventional point of view on our society and world. Actually I've done and studied a lot of things so I like to talk and share almost every topic.. except for soccer!
