About Me

un po' su di me:

Nato in italia -Calabrese- / raised in Canada - Quebec.
From rural southern Italy to the charming / cold / vibrent jungle of Montréal.

Relaxed. easy going. opened minded (biased, perhaps..;).
Deepening my understanding of the world we live in, the life we are given and the life we seek to represent.
Live locally - Eat locally - Love locally
Be at peace to then spread that peace with others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a lovely Community. - redefining boarders/cultures/ and all other social/demographic norms. -- redefining the world as is: a smaller and friendlier place.

< It was in a moment of despair that I first discovered the Couchsurfing Community; 'guiding me home like the moon light guides hatching turtles towards the sea' (johny totoo) ...
While travelling the Australian east coast, the one thing you don't want to happen, happened.. Simultaneously, the moment I ran out of money my bank-cards were blocked due to 'suspicious activity' (attempted hack), therefore leaving me stranded in a remote surf village several hundred kilometres from where I had to catch a flight to Melbourne to then fly to Europe 4 mornings later.. It was then that by coincidence that I met a genuine couple that not only housed me but introduced me to their Couchsurfing Community. I not only found my way to the airport and caught my flight but also had an incredible time meeting great people along the way.. Definitely a highlight of that voyage. ---Merci fellow Couchsurfers

Interests

Nature - yoga - spirituality
Contadino - Growing my Veggies - living sustainable (re-learning what was forgotten)

- tradizione - Sur America - Montréal

-Embarking on new adventures, meeting new people, discovering, learning and sharing.

-Urban planning/affairs + social justice/equality + Environment. --Thinking of alternatives to it all.

-Creativity. music+art & Culture

I am slowly restructuring an old abandoned home in the mountain village my grandmother is from in southern italy. The idea is to live and learn the ways of the past and to have a place where less is more.
