About Me

DISCLAIMER: I really prefer hosting people that hosted someone themselves before. That’s the only way how this community can still be healthy instead of becoming a free hostel inc.

Hello everybody!

I grew up in Olbia - Sardinia, Italy. After high school I left to Pisa for university. After a wonderful 5 years time in southern Germany I moved to the breathtaking Vienna!

The goal now is to visit the world as much as I can, enjoy new places, new people and new cultures before growing too old!

By the way, keep reading, there is something you should know before sending me a request...

Couchsurfing is NOT:
- a free hotel
- tinder
- a resource to be only exploited
Couchsurfing is:
- a community based on sharing
- a place to give before taking
- a way to meet other humans
- in case it works, a way to save some penny

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There are way too many people that try to divide us, to make us look at each other as enemies.

It's up to us to understand that we're actually a family in this world. We are unite.

Hosting strangers in my place, accepting hospitality from them or just sharing a beer together is my way to grow my connections network and get to know more of my brothers.

One important thing though: when you request a stay, please mention what's the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything. In case you don't know it, it's just 42. Use it as a kind of password to talk to me ;)

Interests

- cooking and eating, especially new/exotic things
- playing and listening to music (I try to play guitar, but the outcome is not always worth the name "music"...)
- cycling
- diving
- hang out and show the nice things the city can offer (at least the ones I know)
- videogames (oh, I love videogames!)
- movies and TV Series
- pretty much everything related to science and technology
- I started furnishing my flat work self-made furniture only... I'm still learning but I do my best. You can judge it...

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: the good 60's - 70's - 80's rock music is my music. Name a band of that time: if I know it I most probably love them! Currently I'm stuck with Pink Floyd (could be worse, uh?)

Movies: except cheap romance pretty much all. If the movie leaves me some food for thought is even better!

Books: I got in a dystopian spiral (George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, Philip Dick...) but I promess I will get out of it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

May 2016: I payed a visit to a dear friend that, before leaving this world, taught me to love cycling. Of course, I paid him a visit by bike: 19 days, 2 countries (Germany and Poland), 1 tent, 1100 km, some tears. A lot of beautiful people.

Ok, second thing: June 2019, I went for a solo trip to Japan for three weeks. Well, guess what? It was AMAZING! Traveling alone doesn't necessary mean to be lonely!

Teach, Learn, Share

If you are not italian, I can definitely teach you how to make the tastiest Pasta you've ever tried - with your own hands!

What I Can Share with Hosts

What about an home-made mirto? you don't know Mirto? YOU DON'T KNOW MIRTO?? google it...or host me for a sample ;)
