About Me

Important reminder to you, surfing traveller:

If you wish to be considered, please read the entire profile

It takes 10min max...
... that's much less effort than it takes for a host to open their doors to you without knowing you before.

Have you understood?
Great, then read on

Paolo in a nutshell:

Husband to Kelly, my life soulmate

1) (Honorary) anthropologist
2) (Honorary) travel photographer
3) (Not just honorary) adventurist

A) Accomplished dish-washer (and possibly cook too, but don't bet your stomach on it)
B) Big time addict to all types of cheese (but I can get along with vegans too)
C) Engaging folk from the Italian countryside
D) Introspective dude on a continuous search to learn new things from the world that's out there
E) Constant rummager of cheap fares to anywhere
F) Number-crunching Sherlock Holmes for private companies (aka, cost controller freak)
G) Lifelong sworn enemy of Mr Suit and Mrs Tie (despite overwhelming social pressure, I've fought them off so far)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Meeting my lovely soulmate under the starry skies of Mt Roraima

- Travelling around most of the world for a combined 10-11 years of my adult life (out of savings from my junior work alone)
- Living and surviving so many extraordinary adventures that could probably fill two or three lifetimes

What I Can Share with Hosts

- Sharing travel advice (a lot of it)
- Sharing travel stories (an even bigger lot of it)
- Helping finding rock-bottom cheap fares
- Cooking some pasta recipes from my overlooked, remote region in Italy (I'm originally from Sannio, in the Central Appenines)
- Joining forces for any work/repairs on your house or garden (or boat)
