I left Italy many years ago. My last years there were made of a blend of architecture studies and music on the side.
I somehow then took an opportunity to come to Austin, Texas, to try and embrace a full time musician lifestyle.
It's been quite an adventure and it's still going. I'm excited to find out what comes next.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I recently found out about couch surfing and thought I need to explore this world in a different way other than touring with music, which seldom allows for a proper visit of the place you play at.
I like the basic idea of a community that values trust in the unknown person that is traveling by and needs a place to get some rest, get fed and take a shower. This is the way people have traveled for centuries and it values an exchange that is not based or centered around money and that promotes real communication.
