I'm a 23yrs old italian traveller (wait, is this even a word?), who's currently trying to work his way back home from Australia uniquely by land.

Formerly a Philosophy student (bachelor degree completed), I decided to start travelling not because I hated my life - but simply because I wanted more from it.

And hell yeah, I did get some more!

Feel free to add me on Facebook: Umberto Barachetti.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's probably the best manifestation of the concept of sharing, or at least this is my opinion.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I'm eclectic as...I don't know. Music is my biggest passion, as long as it's for art's sake; that's why my biggest regret so far is not having learnt how to play an instrument, yet.

Movies: Guy Ritchie's ones, Ocean's, Green Mile...and not much else. Clearly a good amount of others, but I wouldn't call myself a movies addict.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

20000 km long road trip in Australia, using our station wagon as a comfy house.
Crossed the Australian Outback N to S.
Motorbiked around Laos.
Witnessed Philippines.
Skydiving.
Taught English for free t kids in an incredibly poor Cambodian village.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my stories, my thoughts and all about myself and what I think I know....as long as I get the same in return.

Teach, well....Italian language?
