We are Paolo and Valentina, an Italian couple, calm and always smiling. We love to see the positives in life, and negatives... well... like in photography they help us to develop ourselves... We have been traveling a lot for work and for passion and we love to see the world with new eyes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We think we have been quite lucky in our life and so it is time to give back. While traveling the world we met great people who opened the door of their houses, and the magic simply happened.
We would like to host people with the same attitude so if you have never hosted somebody first do it before asking to stay in our house, try this magic!
Do not ask for staying if you have not hosted. If we do not see this in your profile we will not even reply, since this means you have not spent 2 minutes to read our profile.
