ABOUT ME

My friends say that I'm a nice and easy-going person. I'm open-minded and very very (sometimes too much) curios. I love to travel and meet new people, have fun and learn new things!
I love to talk about almost everything except soccer (I know, it sound strange for an Italian man ;) )

PHILOSOPHY

Be kind to yourself and the others, enjoy every moment of your life. In the vast infinity of space and time, the only thing that really matters is being happy here and now

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I cannot host, but I would like to meet CS people in my city

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've spend some time with couchsurfers who came to my city, and met other couchsurfers around the world. I still have to actually surf or host somebody.

Interests

Basically, I'm a curios person, and I love to learn and know a bit of everything! Most of the time, anyway I do photography, read, ride my bicycle, listen to music, watch movies, play guitar. I also love cooking (and eating!). I'm learning to play the trumpet.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm an enthusiastic human being with a very short memory... So, there are so many things I enjoy, and I can't write almost anything about it!
Anyway, books: I can tell I like every book written by Tiziano Terzani, my favourite italian author (you should really read his books). I like also science books, graphic novels, classics... I read everything that stimulate my curiosity, and I read quite a lot!
I listen everything from classical to dance music. If I had to choose, I would go for 70s/80s rock, psychedelic and progressive. Pink floyd, Janis Joplin, Premiata Forneria Marconi, Queen, Jimi Hendrix, Creedence Clearwater Revival. I love Elio e le storie tese, an Italian satirical group. They are the best, but you can appreciate them only if you can understand Italian very very very well. Otherwise, I'm sorry but you don't know what you're missing!
Some random movies that I enjoyed: The great dictator, Into the wild, The millionare, I cento passi, La Belle Verte, Little miss sunshine, Chez le Ch'tis. I have the most strange feeling about action movies: usually they make me sleep.
TV show. I loved Braking Bad. Who doesn't love it?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Riding the top of buses in Nepal, getting lost in a forest in Korea, para-gliding in Pokhara, walking the Santiago's way.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm very good with technology and fixing things. I can cook and teach how to cook Italian food. I am a discrete photographer.
I'm trying to improve my guitar player skills, so if you can teach me songs and techniques I would be very glad.
I would like to learn a bit of Spanish, French and Portuguese, as well as improve my English speaking with mother tongue people.
