About Me

Hi guys, I'm back here since a bit of time of absence, just because of my job. Now seems I'll be in the same place for few months, and more important, I've a place where I could host couchsurfers!!! :) more or less untill March 2016.
So.. 1st, decide to come visit the beautiful Liguria region, then.. contact me to get a place where to stay!

CURRENT MISSION

go where ever around, meet/know people, as much and for long as i can!

ABOUT ME
Someone says I'm a complicate person, someone that i'm really easygoing, someone that I talk too much, someone else that I talk a little.. I say I'm Matteo, u just need to know me and see.
Ok, sure I'm not an 'open-book', but at least in the last years i'm becoming more open minded than before and more and more conscious on how nice and great is all the variety of people we have surrounding us!
Definitely not a lover of studing, more focused on learning throught practice, in this time of my life i'm tring to follow always feeling and not 'convenience' of circumstances.
I love my country, but right now not feeling good to live in it.. that's why i'm going around as much as i can!
I'm italian... and i don't like football O.O
Recently felt in love with... Cuba!

That's not all about me.. i cannot write all.. otherwise u won't have anything to ask and discover when u'll meet me!!

PHILOSOPHY

If you learn the way by heart, surely you don't find much;
if instead you lose the course, the world is all there for you.
Country means history and history means language;
learn your direction from people that don't resemble you.
The traveller travels alone,
and he doesn't do it to come back glad..
..he travels because by craft he has chosen the craft of wind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

in the last years i'm not much at home in Genova, and when i'm there i stay at my parent's place, with the whole family, so i can't host. Even if i hosted few friends met during my travels and came to visit me in my home-town.
So, atm, i had CS experiencies out of my country, apart from some meetings.. but as soon as i get the chance, i spread to everyone how great is CS's world!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

anyone was pretty cool

Interests

know people from different cultures and share time and experiences together, play sports, sailing, drink wine, drive (..inside a car not on a motorbike..!) under the rain, lie under warm sun near the sea, cook with friends, listen to live music

Music, Movies, and Books

Not particular preferences about books (actually I don't read much...), I like movies that make me feel "lite", and ones that let me thinking about nothing else for a couple of hours.
I listen any kind of music..really.. even if now is my "reggae, electronic & chillout/indy/spiritual period"!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I reckon the most amazing thing i'm doing is to live. Life is what best we could get on Earth. Even if, unfortunately, life is not easy, and can show us lot of pain, difficulties, sadness.

But ok, if u want me to be a bit less philosophical: done an amazing and unexpected 24days Atlantic-crossing on a 42ft sail boat

Teach, Learn, Share

do u like knots?! i could teach some of them.. or how to do with a little rope a key-holder and little boxes from flyers.. but ok, apart from this, i'm happy not much to 'teach' but more to 'exchange' my knowledges with someone willing to exchange his ones!
