CURRENT MISSION

Meeting people, have fun.

ABOUT ME

I work as a primary school teacher in Rome, but I'm originally from Milan. I can speak English fluently because I lived three years in Australia, because I work in a British school and also because I watch a loooot of american tv shows :)
I am a very sociable, respectful and most of all easy going person. I love to travel ad to meet all sort of people.
At the moment I'm not planning trips, so I will be happy to host.

PHILOSOPHY

I like to find a good reason to wake up every morning..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I travelled quite a lot in my life: since I haven't been doing it that much in the last few years I guess that Couchsurfing is kind of a partial replacement to it (does it makes sense?)
Also: speaking and improving my English or Spanish (if you are able to teach me another language in just a few days, we can use that as well).
And of course I like to meet people form around the world. I love to listen to stories, especially funny ones, even better couchsurfing-related kafkian ones, those are my favourite.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been mostly hosting in different shared houses in the last three years, always in Rome. I've been a guest only once

Interests

Movies, travel(of course) "literature", gardening, stories in general.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: reggae, dub, funky soul some hip hop and italian stuff. I'm happy to go to clubs for some electro...
Movies: Scorsese, Lynch, Kubrick, Cronemberg, Cohen bros, Polanski, stupid american stoner movies (oh, I watched all of those), some argenitinian ones, some korean ones, some australian ones.
Books: too lazy to list those, too scattered around.. Bukowsky, Ellroy, Irvin Welsh, Calvino, Philip Dick, Izzo, Balestrini, Sepulveda, Paco Ignacio Taibo, some other italians, some russians etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

3 years on the road between Australia and Asia.. amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

Maybe teach some italian? I can teach you how to roll a cigarette, I can teach how to drive a car if you get one.
I'm happy to learn pretty much everything unless you want to teach me boring stuff.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can show you around in Rome (my scooter night tour is a must), I can cook some italian stuff for you (simple stuff), I know a couple of places where you can have the best gelato in Rome...What I don't usaully do is coming with you to the crowded city centre during the day for sightseeing and shopping: I don't like that.
