Hi Human Beings!!
I'm Pietro, an open minded, simple, curious, reliable, adventurous and quite introvert guy from Rome, Italy.
Well, I started my 2020 landing in Australia with my WHV to start from scratch a new chapter of my life.
In the last year and a half i worked in a tiny and cozy restaurant in Ibiza, 'la isla mágica'. It was an unforgettable experience!
The year before Ibiza, just after my diploma, i had the most important period of my life so far. I traveled for 10 months almost without money, sleeping everywhere, walking and hitchhiking in Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Morocco (that it stole my heart) and Canary Islands. This experience made me grow incredibly. I have overcome so many fears and prejudices, I realized how good and kind people are, i figured out that if you really want to do something nothing can stop you. But most of all i realized i touched my happiness, so what i know now that is real and what shape it has.

CURRENT MISSION

-Live un unforgettable Down Under experience
-Improve my english
-Save enough money to travel to South America...and Asia...and Europe...well, all over the world :D

PHILOSOPHY

-"Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like" (Lao Tzu)

-20 years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. (Mark Twain)

MY INTERESTS

My main interests are cinematographic art, photography, traveling in alternative ways. I recently started to get interested in astrology, personal growth, tarot, minimalism.
I love watching movies (better if no the commercial ones), taking photos, walking aimlessly listening music, i appreciate reading a good book, drinking a good red wine, listening people's life stories, laughing til cry, snorkeling, cycling, i like wild and free camping, to eat yummy food or try a new one, swimming in the sea looking at the sky.
In Ibiza i also found out that i really enjoy go clubbing sometimes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I consider Couchsurfing a magic invention to live new experiences and open your mind meeting different people from all over the world as well as a great way to travel on a budget.
