Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I just want to be happy. But for that to happen, I must make other people happy as well...
ABOUT ME
Well, I'm just the kind of person that wants to make the most out of life. I love being in new places and learn new things. I love talking and reading. I also love to write, but inspiration has left me today... :)
PHILOSOPHY
I use the KISS system: keep it simple, stupid! :-)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I started by hosting a German-Italian couch surfer in 2006. In the Summer of 2008 I decided to give it a try as a CS guest. I met amazing people and by their example I learned what it takes to be a good host (still learning...). Fortunately I was able to host again in November 2008, and that started the current fase of my CS involvement. CS has been a wonderful, wonderful experience ever since the first day!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I started like everybody else, I guess, CouchSurfing in friends' places. That thought me the lessons I needed to be a good CS guest. In the Summer of 2008 I started CouchSurfing as a guest in Switzerland and Austria and it was absolutely fantastic! All my hosts were "top of the line".

Music, Movies, and Books
Any GOOD film or book will do. As far as music is concerned, from Bach to Metallica, it just depends on the mood... :-)
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
One amazing thing I've done? I have kept my inner child alive and I've climbed to the top of Mount Everest! Well... not really... I think it was just a sand dune in a nearby beach...
Teach, Learn, Share
As a CouchSurfer, I think respect is the most important thing, especially if you are a guest. And, for me, the KISS system has always been of great, great help: KEEP IT SIMPLE, STUPID! :-)
Everybody says I have "people skills", but it all comes down to R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Can I share those skills? You bet!
