90% italian 10% swiss, I grew up in a small town in the foggy Po valley, occasionally going to the seaside to enjoy some "bella vita". After getting too wild even for italian standards, I decided to move to Switzerland to find my roots and the punctuality and seriousness I had lost. Almost two years have passed since then, but I'm still the funny, scatterbrained, dynamic guy who left the italic grounds.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I need to be constantly in contact with the novelty and couchsurfing is the best way to get to know new people, which are a constant source of inspiration and ultimately a lot of fun!

Interests

I'm a sports freak but I don't like team sports, even though I've nothing against them, they just don't appeal to me. On the other hand all adrenaline and endurance sports are my favourites and I love to share my stories and thoughts with the people that share my passions.
Beside sports, I like discussing with people, it doesn't really matter the topic, as long as there is some wine and good intentions.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have one big love in life and it is Hardstyle, with a bit of Hardcore from time to time. All the rest doesn't really appeal to me but everything is good if it is in the background.
I like movies with complex tales, those that make you link events during the film as if everything was part of a bigger picture (a few of my best ones: The Shawshank Redemption, The Age of Adaline) but I also like going to the cinema and watch trash movies with no realistic story but a lot of special effects.
I actually have lost interest for romances, which I only read while sailing to fill the time. I still read manuals, guidebooks and some phylosophy, but not too much...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Completing a 70 km walk, 50 km kayak, 120 km bike triathlon which I invented, advertised and organized.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to practise French and German during my stays in these countries or with people that speak these languages. I also have this dream of playing harmonica, even if I'm totally ignorant in music (as my preferences might have suggested...).

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, opinions, original italian recipes, a good glass of wine, rigorously red.
