Maybe the best thing would be to forget being right or wrong about people and just go along for the ride. But if you can do that -- well, lucky you.” (Roth)
•ABOUT ME
Hi! I'm Salvatore, 32 years old, living in the city centre of Florence. I'm a funny and dynamic person. Well travelled, interested in literature, music, art, movies and keen to meet new people. I like to walk around European towns. I prefer to hunt for urban details rather than see again and again common things! Curiosity for new things, attention for great masters; indipendence and freedom for a personality that always changes; touching others and being touched by them!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would host someone and be hosted. It would be cool visit other countries meeting new people!
