From the age of 14 I've started to appriciate and get more interested in every culture which I get in contact with.
Since I love travelling, I have been visiting and working in different lands even though for short periods, right now I'm studing in Catania University.
By hosting 2 guys with the Onluns AFS, I decided to do this experience from the other point of view and spent my forth year of high school in Sweden.
Now, after five years of working and travelling here and there in Europe, I've settled l in Catania for three years of Uni. Since I can't travel as the pasts years and from time to time being in Sicily can let you feel a bit "out of the world", I'm even more willing then usual to meet people from everywhere in the world and know about them and their culture!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here both for the great possibility to know people who have differents habits and cultures from mine (best way to grow up), and give my little partecipation to a great Idea, travel in the culture, differently from the usual way.
when you go in a hotel and make the usual turistic tour and all (it is also interesting) but totally different to travel and know a culture from the inside, as it can happen by living in the house of a local inhabitant.
This thoughs works both for hosting and travelling, so I hope I could give a taste of my land to people who come and have the same experience by travelling myself. I always try to find by coparison a way to grow up and swell my point of view.

Interests

I have many interests as reading, expecially about classical subjects, music (generally from the past century :)), I'm a big fan of mountains and general excursionism, I like cooking, gardening, and probably my biggest passion it's a Sicilian martial art practiced with stick or knife.
