About Me

I understood that "something was wrong" during the high-school period, when my friends used to spend all their money to buy expensive stuff and get drunk while I wanted to save money and visit a new city every weekend. This philosophy evolved into me and helped me to move around Europe and to understand what I really need to feel good in my life: traveling! Every trip is now like fuel for my burning soul.
I love to know people coming from a different part of the world, plunge into different cultures and get lost in the nature. Sometimes a good bottle of wine and good friends is the best way to share emotions and good vibes...and enjoy life!

In my home city I used to meet every day stressed people, driving their cars stacked in traffic jam, thinking only about work, greed for money and feeling tired of their life so full of emptiness...and I was at risk to become like this as well. Hopefully I managed to stay away from that style of life, and today when I look at myself I see a guy with a head plenty of dreams and an empty wallet, but very rich anyway because he has a lot of good friends and he always smiles...he's just happy, and I think in the end this is the most important thing in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I decided to move to Australia a friend of mine told me about CS...I didn't know anything about it before, but after I tried I immediately felt in love with the spirit in it. It is really cool, and with it I can meet many different and really awesome people from every part of the world!
CS is the innovation in traveling, and I simply love this concept. I have met so many great people, and I am very happy to be part to this project.
I'm definitely looking forward for more CS experiences and meet new awesome people to share good moments and discover new amazing places.

Interests

My other deep passion apart traveling is music: I love it at 360 degrees! I am a musician, singer and producer. I can play different instruments like guitars, drums, keyboard...and also the doorbell!

I love Caribbean dances as well...but I am not a professional.

I am into computers and coding...but I am not a fully nerd...yet!

I also love photography and good food.

And last but not least...I love traveling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got lost in Australia, in the middle of the desert, and the year later the same happened in Thailand. In those occasions I understood the real difference between tourism and traveling. They have been amazing opportunities to meet new people and travel deeply into myself.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach music and how to play instruments.
Of course I can teach Italian language and how to cook a real Carbonara!
I worked for a long time on computers and online, so I could teach how to make music, create websites and much more...
I would like to learn Spanish, surfing and snowboarding.
I love to share culture and experiences. I think that sharing experiences you can learn much more than a book or a teacher can teach you.
