I enjoy simple things like long walks in the city, going to a market, cooking something new, having a cappuccino and brioche in an Italian bar, tasting local foods.

I love raw meat, spaghetti with tomato sauce, red wine, garlic, books, coffee.

I prefer salty over sweet, opera over plays, waves over calm and crystal clear sea, Bloody Mary over Mojito, Bologna over Florence, I like keeping traditions, I'm an night owl.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I hate looking like a tourist while I'm being a tourist. I try to hide my map, I like to get lost, to go to places tourist don't go, I don't mind missing the main sites, I like to eat what tourist are affraid to eat, to stay with locals.
