Born and raised in a small Italian city known for the oldest university in the world, a pasta dish that does not exist and a long list of uncelebrated rebels, terrorist attacks and punk bands. I spent all of my summers (and a good share of all of the weekends and school holidays) at my grandmother's house, just across the street from the sea and a few minutes drive from one of the major seaports of the Mediterranean. This is where I developed my insane addiction to harbours, salt water and running around barefoot.

I've been described as an anarchist and as a cat, but in fact, it'd be more accurate
to say that I am a very opinionated child-at-heart with the tendency of questioning authorities. And yes, I really like to lie in the sunny spots and to be somewhat worshipped.

I refuse to pay the verification fee, but if you need proof of my identity I will be glad to point you to my social media channels.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am curious about other people, cultures, languages, experiences, and love to hear people's stories. Also, I love to travel and I'm often on a budget.

Often on the move and living mostly on my own. I am usually always happy to show travellers around/provide written advice and of course, to host/meet up whenever it's possible.

Interests

Photography, reading, concerts, baking, mixing drinks, martial arts, tattoos and other forms or recreational pain. I used to be into football but not being able to support my local team any longer I kinda lost it, however I don't mind the occasional St. Pauli game.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like almost anything that provides either entertainment and/or knowledge, with a strong prefence for Punk, Indie Rock, bloodshed, broken hearts, boobs, manga, and dragons.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Most recently, I drove 3500km across Namibia with two friends. We drove on sand, gravel and a highway made of quartz. We watched wild animals and the African sun go down in the Atlantic ocean while a flamboyance of flamingos crossed the sky.

Of course, the amazing thing is here is finding out that a group of flamingos is called flamboyance.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am not sure how much of a good teacher I am, but I like to share stories and home-cooked meals. I love to take pictures of the people I meet, so if you are up for that I will be more than happy to snap a portrait of you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Same as above, I guess. I might leave the book that I am reading with my disconnected notes, too.
