CURRENT MISSION

Keep it simple

ABOUT ME

I have strong roots in my native land, Tuscany, combined with a romantic spirit which leads me to face long journeys which are more introspective than physical.

PHILOSOPHY

A simple life of shared pleasures and conviviality.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to give a roof and a warm welcome whenever I am able to do so.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started with Servas, which was the first voluntary organisation to promote this type of hosting in the fifties. Then I discovered Hospitality Club and Couch Surfing, although now I rarely get hosts from the former. The most important thing however is to bring people together for the same purpose!
