Overview
About Me
I'm an Italian guy with the passion of traveling. When doing so, i try to make every new experience possible, to get in touch with local culture and try every strange dish (in Morocco that got me far). Spent six months living in St.Persburg and i'm now moving to Paris for a Master program.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Being a student, the only problem with travels is money. Couchsurfing is a way to spare money, allowing people to travel more. Moreover, the practical side blends with the unique occasion to talk and know better local people (and their unique advices) and maybe remain friends for a lifetime.
