About Me

I'm a 37 years old wanderer.
I'm from Italy, I live in Rome where i try to feel like a tourist even though many years passed since i moved here.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a slow traveler and I always try to understand the uses and the cultural heritage of the places i'm visiting.
I usually move walking, hiking, obviously hitchhiking (is the best).
Couchsurfing came just natural.
I've discovered couch surfing on travel, but also before i used to practice this kind of house sharing with the people i met.

Interests

I love to walk, to run and to get lost, possibly in the wilderness.
Honestly I often try to look for uninhabited and forgotten places, I love to visit places where i can feel alone.
But at the same time I prefer to travel alone for increase my possibility of make new meetings.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite movie is probably "Stalker" from Tarkosvkij, it has all the things a film should have in my idea.
I've recently discovered иди и смотри. Just perfect. In both of them I love the atmospheres, the rhythm, the characters and the general feeling that you would have after having seen them….
That's just one, cause i tried to look as many movie as i can. I obviously love Herzog, Jarmush, Antonioni, but many others are on my list.

Blues, Rhythm and blues, Rock…but without limits I probably would listen to everything that makes me feel good in a specific moment. From classical to rocksteady music.

I try to enlist some of the last book I've loved:
Anatomy of Restlessness - Bruce Chatwin
And Our Faces, My Heart, Brief as Photos - John Berger
Of Walking in Ice - Werner Herzog
21 lessons for the 21st century - Harari
