About Me

You will be the ones to describe me, of course I would write down just good things about me. I guess you can say I'm a sincere guy =)
Anyway you can get something about me by my interests down below.
Enjoy!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I wanna try different ways to live the places I travel to, cause to just go sightseeing I could watch the photos on the internet.

I don't know if someone will be ever interested in visiting my place, Valsusa, but it would be a pleasure to give a right hand in case that will happens.

Well, of course, I'm here also for the economic aspect. If I did not write this, I wouldn't be as sincere as I told before. ;)

Interests

I like basketball, which I played for years in my hometown team.

I kinda like videogames, among which I prefer RPGs like Final Fantasy and MOBA as League of Legends.

I really enjoy reading and whatching films, but only if not alone (the films).

I love to spend hours discussing about all kind of deep issues, about the life, the universe and everything. I'm always in for that!

I'm looking for opportunities to travel the world in "unconventional" ways, by now I only have some exciting ideas, that I hope to take to actual life. Little by little I'll try!

If inspiration hits me I write pieces of poetry sometimes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last summer I travelled with a friend for two weeks in Provence, a Southern France region, all by hitch-hike and almost always free-camping. It was a beautiful experience, full of sensations. We met many kind persons, everybody tried to help us for what they could. My confidence into humankind grew up so much after that experience. Loved it!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm learning how to juggle with the Diabolo, but I'm still not very good at it. I want to improve 'cause I find it so exciting!

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can share our life experiences and get to know nice books and movies by each other.
I can teach you the couple of Diabolo tricks that I know (just the basics, but who knows, maybe you can find your new lifelong passion!).
I'm always in for a discussion about Life, Universe and Everything. You just need to "throw the bone"!
Of course, I'll never deny a good italian pasta plate if asked! ;)
