**ITALY Oct 30-Jan 8**
I've spent 8 weeks all over Italy and decided to extend my trip another 2 weeks!

I want to see a slice of your day to day life, wherever you live (especially in the small towns). I love the Italian people, culture, and food.

I'm definitely looking for natural hot springs! and local delicacies. 😋 I even attended a soccer game in Naples.

Don't get mad at me if I like pineapple on pizza though 🤣

I do prefer female hosts or couples that live together, but I'm open to meeting other locals and travelers who want to hangout and have fun too.

So if I reached out to you that means I've read your profile and think we should meet!

I'm in the Sports industry so I'm on the road quite a bit for work. I also do a fair share of solo travel and visiting friends/family around the country. Currently 100% nomad. Mostly Summers in the PNW and Winters in the Midwest. Overseas for a couple months a year.

I am the sum of everyone I've ever met and everywhere I've been. I'm curious about Life and prefer to learn by meeting people and talking about it - usually over food, drinks, or arts and live entertainment.

I love this app for connecting with other transients and travelers along the way. It's such a great community. It seems we all have a lot in common- regardless of where we're from or where we're going.

Hope to cross paths and share stories (and brainstorm solutions to the world's problems).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd rather live in a world where we trust our neighbors.

I love seeing how people live and travel. It's cool to see the communities you're all apart of. Please let me join or observe whatever normal day to day activities you do.

There's also a comfort in meeting strangers that feel like old friends. My kind of people, regardless of where I am in the world.

This is such a wonderful community I'm so proud to be a part of. We all get to practice and teach each other how we want this safe space to be.

You can learn something from anyone you meet.

Some favorite quotes;
The world is as big or as small as you make it.

The grass isn't greener on the other side; it's greener where you water it.

The glass isn't half empty or half full; it's re-fillable.

Know your worth and then add tax to it.
