Hi there! I'm Paolo, a mechanical engineer from Italy, now living in the colorful and vibrant city of Guanajuato, Mexico. I’ve always loved learning about other cultures, and after working in Italy and Germany for several years, I came to Mexico for a short work project—and ended up staying much longer than expected!

I love good conversations, long walks through historic streets, cooking Italian food for friends, and listening to live music in local bars. Couchsurfing, to me, is all about connecting through kindness, stories, and shared experiences. I'm curious, open-minded, and always happy to meet new people from all walks of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet amazing people from around the world, exchange stories, and offer travelers a warm, local experience in Guanajuato. I also love the spontaneity and authenticity that Couchsurfing brings to travel

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Crossed Europe by train with just a backpack and a camera — 12 countries in 2 months, sleeping in hostels, stations, and Couchsurfing homes.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to cook authentic Italian pasta, explain how an engine works, or share tips on traveling light. I'd love to improve my Portuguese and learn new dishes from your country.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories from my travels, good food, local insights about Guanajuato, and a big smile. If I have time, I’d be happy to walk you around town or grab a drink together.
