I am Italian, originally from Venice and I lived in Milan before leaving for New Zealand, Australia and Canada. At the moment I sailed across the Baltic on a sailing yacht as crew. I am easy going, honest, curious and positive. I like cooking good meals and the good restaurants, in general I love everything that makes our life more enjoyable but I rarely drink alcohol, I do not take drugs and I do not smoke. I am a very active person and I like to go outside to run, cycle, sail, hike or paddle.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really believe in the potential of Couchsurfing! I am not considering CS as a cheap solution to travel by being hosted for free. I consider Couchsurfing as a community where the members from different countries and cultures can meet and being sure that when they are sharing their time and eventually being hosted they will have something to talk about... traveling and discovering the world for example. Being hosted is making the journey more affordable but there are other aspects that are making you a rich person.

Interests

Trekking, rock climbing, mountain biking and sailing are my favorite activities in summertime. Snowshoeing, cycling, skiing and sea kayak is what I use to do during wintertime. I am not really a party person but I appreciate a social drink with a good chat. I love traveling in self organized trips by using public mains of transport, car or simply cycling. Traveling for me is not just holidays but exploring and discovering different cultures, food, costumes and meeting new friends.

Teach, Learn, Share
