Outdoorsman, adventure traveller and action sports enthusiast.

I love exploring new places, learning about different cultures, meeting new people and living crazy adventures.
Despite my love for adrenaline, I am a super chill guy with tons of self control.

I am currently writing my master's degree final paper while working as a substitute teacher (English and support teacher).

I live in my hometown Bergamo with my wonderful girlfriend Cristina, who also loves to travel and meet travellers from all around the world.

I travel in many different ways:
With Cristina, solo, with my friends... by bicycle, motorcycle, car, van, bus, train, plane...
I enjoy traveling off the beaten path with minimal planning, allowing myself to savor each moment at a relaxed pace, free from pressure for myself or my fellow travelers. I also love capturing these experiences on film and in photos, to preserve memories that I can look back on and cherish.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I am travelling I want to get in touch with the locals and when I am home I still want to meet new people, show them my hometown and hear some cool stories from around the world. To make sure that you read my profile throughly, please write the top secret word "banana" in your request ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

At 21 I rode my motorcycle from Italy to Mongolia and back

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to cook some iconic italian dishes, how to snowboard or basic car, motorcycle and bicycle maintenance skills.

I would love to improve my german, but also my surfing and calisthenics skills.
Another thing that I love is discovering new music from all around the world.

I can take you on a nice motorcycle/bicycle ride, a hike, a little canoe trip or just show you around my hometown... you name it!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can tell you about my travels and I can teach you languages or how to cook some classic italian dishes...or simply cook them for you!
