CURRENT MISSION

The gain life experience and better myself and others around me

ABOUT ME

Just a regular guy, really. American. Tall, athletic build. I like to read. A huge nerd when it comes to music. Don't care for films much. I only really enjoy a few a year. I'm more likely to watch something like a band's live DVD, a classic, or an anime than going to cinema or picking up a new release from the rental shop. I don't really know what to say. My AIM is arthurvito if this doesn't satisfy you.

PHILOSOPHY

Rock and Roll

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I don't much participate in the CS community. I live in a small flat with one room and a shared kitchen and bathroom. The only thing I can do is the coffee or drink option for travellers visiting Naples, Italy. Possibly Rome if I have the time. Not likely Florence, it would have to be a holiday weekend or something.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been putting off setting up this profile for some time. The only Couchsurfing experience I've had was with a friend on CS. It was my first night in Rome. We met up with a local who took us away from all the tourist spots and took us to Trastevere for drinks and pizza. We had a good time and if it weren't for that I wouldn't have visited there for some time.
