About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Experiencing life and shaping my future.

ABOUT ME

I love people!

I like technology and knowledge in general!

I lived 13 months in Copenhagen, Denmark, and 7 months in Santa Barbara, California, Zurich and now London!

I love sports, I've been an educator for many years and I like education in general!

I am enterprising, whenever there is a chance I try to get it!

I practiced theater and I like to do unexpected and strange expressions or jokes to my friends!

I try to think as much as I can!

I'm half Sicilian, I love Sicily and I go there every summer since I was born!

One day I wanna give an important contribution to the society...

PHILOSOPHY

The place and the people of my youth shaped me a lot.
I try to set relationships as my priority.
I give myself time to think and assimilate what I experience.
When I get older, I don't want to forget how it feels like being young.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Host and surf as much as I can!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted two groups of couchsurfers in my place in Padova and it was very nice.
I surfed with some friends in Flagstaff, Arizona, and it was a great experience for all of us!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like many movies, lately I enjoyed The Hobbit but I didn't like Life of Pi.
The first ones popping up to my mind are Life is Beautiful, Into the Wild, Train of Life.
Books: The little prince, The picture of Dorian Gray, The three musketeers, The Betrothed, The Da Vinci Code, Ken Follet's ones, Camilleri's ones, Harry Potters...
I'm very ignorant for what concerns music, but I like Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Beatles, Fun, Walk Off the Earth, The Queen, De André, Battisti...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was in Germany for the Football World Cup in 2006, when Italy won!
I've done Santiago de Compostela's pilgrimage on foot.
I've studied 13 months in the lovely and lively Copenhagen!
My brother and I organize (we are at the 10th edition) a big local football tournament, involving 300 people, just for passion!

Teach, Learn, Share

A very straightforward one: I can show you how to cook some Italian dishes!
I can teach you some very simple games that will make everyone enjoy their time together!
I can talk you about Europe and Europeans.
I can probably teach you something about your PC or smartphone if needed.
If you wish, you can practice Italian or Spanish with me!
We can play many different sports together, maybe you can teach me hot to climb!
