ABOUT ME

My name is Michele but my friends call me "Mitch" or "Miki". I live in a small city in the east central Italy the name is Ravenna. I live with my parents and two dogs "Mimì" and "Pepè".
I'm an open mind and nice person, I like to do a lot of things and I do a lot of things, my friends tell me that my day is with 36 hours not 24, because my friends don't understand how I can do so a lot of those things (the secret is to plan the day, I told them ^_^). I'm a dreamer but I try to realize my dreams. I don't smoke and I'm clean.
I study archaeology and I work like a travel consultant for a company.
I like to play skateboard, snowboard, archery, dodgeball (I have a team in Ravenna), football (sometimes with my university friends), and I like to try another sports.
I do a lot of trekking and some survival course (my father is a survival teacher), and I like to try another extreme experiance like skydiving and paragliding.
I play a guitar and ukulele and I have an acoustic duo with my brother where I sing and I play a guitar.
My family are my father Fabio, that is a survival teacher; my mother Laura that she is a chef and my Brother Mirco that he is a musician, he study in the music academy in Milan.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't care where I will go, the important thing is to travel and meet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love couchsurfing and I love to exchange opinions, life styles, cultures and informations.
Couchsurfing for me is a way to meet and know one country before to go there, and is a way to show my country culture: tipical food, things an night life a my guest.
When I travel I respect my host and when somebody host me I like to spend a time with my host becouse from them I can learn a lot of thing about the country ^_^
When I host and I have a freetime i love to spend a time with my guest to know them and know their culture, and show mine.
SO IF YOU ASK ME TO STAY WITH ME ONLY FOR SAVE A MONEY TO SLEEP YOU HAVE TO ASK AN ANOTHER PEOPLE!!!!!!

But my favorite kind of music is the Rock, Punk, Rock and Roll.

Book: I read a lot for the University but sometimes when I have a time I like to read some Tourist Guide Book (yes is crazy but for me the travel is a drug), I like to read some adventures and experiances travel book, and historical and fantasy books.
