About Me

CURRENT MISSION

making life a permanent holiday

ABOUT ME

I am Australian.
My parents are Italian.
I grew up in Sydney, Australia, I lived for 6 years in Italy between Bologna, Milan and Rome. I am now living in Young NSW!

I consider myself a semi-experienced traveller and proud to help fellow travellers with assistance in my adopted town, whether via offering a couch or just meeting or giving advice.

PHILOSOPHY

on a cloudless night, look up to the stars and just let the idea cross your mind that for 99.9999999% of this universe there is absolutely no difference between me and a speck of sand.... so, try and spend your days just like that speck of sand, laying on the beach, riding a few waves, just chilling out and letting the days pass...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

CS is amazing! I wish i had known about it when I was much younger! Participating in CS for me is repaying the generosity displayed to me whilst travelling by good honest people who have opened their houses to me even just minutes after meeting them!

Hannes in Berne, Switzerland

Interests

Understanding the local culture of places that I visit, mainly by observing the locals as they participate in their normal daily life.
I am a big music fan and my favourite entertainment is going to concerts, I Travel and hope never to stop travelling. I am a big motorcyclist and hope one day to travel the world on my Ducati.
