About Me

I am a curious and cheerful 32 year old boy. With my sister we opened a little farm in northern Italy which we called Lamponi Felici (Happy Raspberries). We produce raspberries, blueberries, honey, jams, juices, flour, soaps, bread and cheeses!

Take a look at our farm website: www.lamponifelici.it

I have a degree in Economics, but I soon realized that my passion was working the land slowly and with simplicity. This allows me to work a lot in spring / summer but have time to travel in autumn / winter.

The last countries I visited are Senegal and Turkey, but my next destination will be South America, a continent that has always fascinated and intrigued me.

I love music, I play guitar and harmonica in two local bands.

I like to work with my hands, look at the stars and drink beer with friends.

I am a dreamer and I will never stop dreaming!

IF YOU WANT TO COME TO ME PLEASE CONSIDER THAT:
my house is not in Tuscany but near. To reach Firenze/Siena/Lucca it takes around 2 hours by car, and Bologna/Modena 1 hours :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I love meeting different and foreign people. I like to learn about new cultures and new contexts. Having traveled a lot in recent years, what better way to help travelers like me?
