About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Updating/Upgrading my life... Work in progress.... ;)

ABOUT ME

Here I am!
It's always a pain to describe myself... what to say?

I love fresh air, climbing, mountaineering, observing the sky, cooking, living...
Yes, let's say that all this stuff can be summarized by: I love life!

I'm quite emotional, I'm willing in trusting in people I meet, I love making human connections. I love most of all the beauty in all its shapes.

With CS I hope to find new friendship, relations, connections. Anybody who is open-minded and has something to say, to bring with him and is willing to share with all I can offer is absolutely welcome in my home.

PHILOSOPHY

I try not to hurt anybody, to be the best I can in every situation, to help who need care, to forgive the errors one can make.

We are all humans, we all make mistakes, so we all should forgive each other.
Peace and love will make the world better.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can host you as well as showing you this part of Italy, going out to dance, to drink, to eat... You may find that in my home there is a Sachertorte which is as good as the original one... I offer all my frienship to all guests.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm just a newbie, so for now I have only shared some spear time with CS hosted by friends.

I am willing to improve, so contact me, let me host you, amuse you by showing this beautiful angle of Italy and make me live the real CS experience!

UPDATE(1 year after):
Nearly 1 year has passed by since my subscription to CS. I've hosted a dozen of people, or even more, but still I haven't got the special taste to be a full guest. Time will come, I'm sure ;)
Anyway, what to say? I've hosted some exceptional people, who gave me as a gift the keys to their lives and I've given back to them my own. I could dare to say that now we are good friends. Some of the guests has been brilliant and we had a lot of fun together, exploring the surroundings (it is incredible how you can re-discover your own land while you show it to somebody else...)

On the whole, I'm still enjoying this experience since I've found a lot of people who want to share their lives with mine and I truly thank them. Unfortunately, sometimes it happens that some guests leave little more than some dirty linen to wash and the sensation to have lost some time, but that's life: nobody's perfect and CS community is somehow just a little mirror of mankind.

Update 2:
Many years have passed by, and people somehow change. My life have changed dramatically, i got married, i changed work and city... Everything seems to evolve positively, so I could put some more positivism in CS experience....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living and loving... is there anything more amazing than this? ^^

I have also fallen for 12mt while climbing, since I lost a hold. Interesting experience, thanks to the rope I'm still here talking about it :o) .

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you some how to cook some good italian dishes, to recognize constellations and stars in the night listening to all good mythologic stories linked to them.
I could introduce you to climbing and high altitude mountaineering, hiking and giving a name to all the peaks around here.

We could learn more of each other. I could learn anything interesting you bring with you...
