Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
be listening to the nature
ABOUT ME
I play and teach diatonic accordion in Italy and abroad. Through my work I have visited Canada, USA, Finland, Germany, Holland, Norway, Singapore, Denmark, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, France, Luxembourg, Belgium.
I have travelled Brazil, Madagascar, Mexico, Açores, Guatemala, Mauritius, Morocco and Sweden, without playing music.
I love travelling and I find couchsurfing a great opportunity for travelling the world.
I like to cook and to swim, but not at the same time.
I read books, essays and fiction.
I love to play in jam sessions of Irish and Brazilian music......
PHILOSOPHY
What if the very idea of growth — accumulating riches, destroying the environment and worsening social inequality — is a trap? Maybe we need to aim to create a society that is based on quality not quantity, on cooperation and not competition.
Interests
folk music, contemporary music, books, walking, travelling, swimming. I like to conduct a life with as less stress as possible

Teach, Learn, Share
You can try accordion and mandolin, and in the meanwhile I can cook some genoese recepies.
What I Can Share with Hosts
A NOTE
Couchsurfing is not about money. However, due to the increase in energy consumption costs, hosting many people is now a growing economic commitment in terms of consumption. For this reason, if you feel comfortable in my house and if you understand that a collaboration makes sense, you can leave a free donation in the piggy bank at the end of your stay. It makes sense to collaborate. Gas, water and electricity represent an increasing cost at this specific moment.
I can offer my guests a small private concert, a terrace where they can enjoy the cool air on summer nights, with a slackline to have fun with
