Hi, I'm Matteo! I recently moved to Turin and enjoy travelling and meeting new people: I had many long distance hiking trails, travelled by bicycle and visited lots of wonderful places in Europe. I've been a drummer since 2005, I've played in Italy, Austria and Slovenia.
I'd be glad to meet people from all over the world, so don't be shy!

I and my girlfriend Maddalena live in a nice home, we can offer you a confy sofa bed for two and a bulk-bed, homemade food from the mountains, songs and joy.
We travel as much as possible, so please don't be upset if we won't be able to host you!

In general I don't accept "free bed only" requests: in my opinion Couchsurfing is an experience, not an alternative to a hostel; I always spend a few minutes to check a potential host/guest profile, a nice message along with the request is always welcome!

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

Couchsurfing saved me from a hard rainy night in Austria, when an amazing couple let me in: I never felt so welcome in a stranger's house; since then I decided to become a host!
Thanks Martin and Waltraud, I owe you one!

Interessen

I love music. I started to play when I was 15 years old and never stopped. Travelling is something I could never give up. The best things that happened to me were always related to other cities, countries, cultures, habits.
But I found out that also the "everyday life" can be as rich: I never lose the occasion to go hiking, biking, climbing, training at the gym, drinking, playing or any other thing that makes this life so majestic.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

I'm a hard rock guy mostly, but I actually listen to almost everything, from classical music to black metal! Right now I play in a party band, "Bassorilievo", mostly rock'n'roll and 60's.
I read and write a lot: until now I've written five books of poetry and short stories. My favorite book of all times? "Eureka street" by Robert McLiam Nilson.
I appreciate many movies, from Tarantino to Crialese. Maybe my favorite one is "500 days of Summer" (I know, I'm a cheesy dude!)

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Many awesome things happened to me, but nothing can be compared to that unbelievable miracle called Maddalena. I love you.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I think that every person is worth knowing. Everyone of us has his own history, has fought his battles, has made his mistakes. Sharing our experience is what makes us rich.

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

I can cook Italian, I can play guitar and try to make an Ukulele sound right, or just chill out and have a beer together!
