ABOUT ME

Easy-going, willing to travel a lot, and to host many people in my beautiful city.
Traveled a lot all around Europe but just a few times outside Europe (couple of times in the U.S. and then in Brazil).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can offer CouchSurfers a couch, a bed or a whole room, depending on circumstances.
In times I can't host at all, I will nevertheless be happy to help with informations about the city, or be your guide through the city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

After my first strange experience with a friend (a crazy couchsurfer left us his apartment for a weekend even if he wasn't in town! never met him in person, thank you Paolo!), I decided to create my own account and try to be open enough to enjoy hosting strangers and be hosted by them.

Interests

Traveling, of course. Just for a weekend, or for a whole season, the important is not keep standing.
Sports: Biking (and bike-traveling); soccer; running.
Writing. I am a book abuser. Reading and writing compulsively - that's a bad illness.
Playing guitar, and bass guitar.
Meeting new people from all over the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wrote songs and poems, a couple of books.

Bicycled for two months all along Italy, and then France; let a small part of the world pass by my side.

A few amazing places I've seen:
-San Francisco Bay Area: the skyline, the bridges, Alcatraz, the countryside north of SF.
-Tarifa: meeting point between Europe and Africa, with the two seas meeting there.
-Croatia and Greece islands: Lokrum, Lastovo, Mljet, Koufonissi, Amorgos... natural paradises.
-Chapada Diamantina, Bahia.
