ABOUT ME

I'm an easygoing person, always looking for new experiences.
After finishing my bachelor degree in Italy I realised that I needed to leave the books, hit the road and get inspired by everything that the world can offer us. I then took off to Australia for a six months trip... guess what? I stayed there for more than a year! Visiting NZ, Indonesia and Thailand while working in Australia, in the meanwhile I got ready for the big thing: north, central and South America! It took me 11 months to travel overland from Messico to Tierra del Fuego in Argentina and to become the southernmost person in the world (Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego).
Still thirsty from what I had left a year before I came back to mighty Asia to complete the big loop: Thailand, Laos,Philipines, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia and Singapore.
I came back from this 2 years and a half around the world trip, hitchhiking and couchsurfing hard wherever I could. I'm totally honest in saying that this has been so far the best thing I ever done in my entire life.
Now i'm back home, in my hometown in Italy and i'm trying to figure out what to do in the near future.
What this adventure left me is the passion in traveling and dipping myself into different cultures which is also my dream for the future.
Putting always myself ahead of everybody and everything, it's now time to make my dream become true,to turn my dream into reality.
That's the reason because i'm trying my hardest to sort out a way to travel around the world as a job.
A positive approach to life is helping me in doing so; smiling to the world everyday combined with the excitement of new adventures and the will of hithhike the whole world, i believe i can make it!!!

PHILOSOPHY

traveling doesn't need money, those are required for vacation.
borders only exist because goverments decided to build them up.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
