Why I’m on Couchsurfing

🌏 A Global Heart in a Sicilian Soul: After sixteen years of living abroad, from the bustling streets of China to the serene landscapes of Helsinki, and now Minsk, I've realized something profound – the world is not just a place I visit; it's where I belong. Though I've tried returning to Italy, my spirit thrives on global adventures.

🌟 Sharing Sicilian Secrets: Palermo is not just a dot on the map for me; it's a treasure trove of culture, cuisine, and history. If you're planning to visit Sicily, consider me your go-to guide for the best spots to eat, sleep, and explore in Palermo and beyond.

🛋️ Couchsurfing Adventures: My journey with Couchsurfing began in Scotland, opening a door to a world of amazing individuals and cultures. From the hospitality of ShanShan and her family in Tokyo to the laughter-filled days with Arfandi and the unforgettable moments with Erik in Okinawa, each experience has enriched my life and expanded my world view.

🔗 Why I Continue: Every host and traveler I meet adds a new dimension to my understanding of the world. Couchsurfing isn't just about finding a place to stay; it's about building connections, sharing cultures, and creating a global family. Whether it's in Japan, Scotland, or anywhere else, these experiences are not just memories; they are the stories of my life.

🌍 Looking Ahead: I'm excited to continue this journey, meeting more incredible people, and sharing the warmth and hospitality that have been graciously offered to me. If you're in Minsk or planning a Sicilian adventure, let's connect. Let's share stories, meals, and explore the uncharted paths of our diverse world together.
