CURRENT MISSION

The Great Awakening

ABOUT ME

Let's see. I love cycling. I spend a large part of my free time doing this. I've been a huge football (soccer) fan for quite a while. I follow it pretty closely and play pretty poorly. I seem to enjoy most situations that involve learning, and I have a very healthy love affair with beer.

It's really a pleasure to have guests and to be able to show them around. It's always a great experience to learn from one another and to have fun doing whatever we decide upon.

PHILOSOPHY

Hmm... perhaps "always question" or "there's no one right way to live." Something along those lines.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My couch is open.

Just as this website says, it's more than just a place to stay. Couchsurfing should be an exchange of ideas and culture and a way to learn more about humanity and life.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing has always been brilliant. Surfing or hosting, I can't think of times that haven't been great. If you're new to the idea and are a little hesitant, I strongly recommend giving it a go.

Interests

History, anthropology, ecology, culture, language, music, cinema, literature, using a bicycle as my main mode of transportation, football (soccer), meeting motivated and unique people.I love discovering culture and humanity with individuals who share the same passion.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Although it's something that many have experienced, I still think seeing the Milky Way with my naked eye will always be one of the most formative experiences of my life.

My work sometimes results in patients writing thank you letters, sending gifts, or simply visiting to say thank you. This is always an astounding and wonderful experience

In regards to travel, I think travelling around Sicily on a scooter was pretty fantastic.
