About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To give a little bit of happiness in the world.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 45 y.o. from Rome, Italy.... almost just Married :)
I think i'm a very respectfull and open person. I've been living in Italy since I was born but I also lived in South Africa for a couple of months, in Manhattan for one month, in Cuba for one month ...
I also travelled to other african countries, I was in Turkey and in almost all the european countries.
I belive in the importance to appreciate and to take the best from other cultures.
Very friendly and happy person. I simply love people in general and I don't understand the wickedness.
When travelling I love to visit and to admire local peolple, to learn about their own and typical culture.
Love to cook for others :)
Fortunately I quit smoking :p

PHILOSOPHY

We only have one life, so live it in the right way!
Look for the the positive things, be a good person, love your neighbor 'cause You yourself are your neighbors! Love nature, be honest, clear, direct, nearby, friend of your friends ... and get fun and pleasure whenever you can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Sharing everything... well, almost everything :-)

Please, feel free to email me if you like.
I could be a good tourist guide.
You could also simply ask for advise on what to visit here in Rome ... just for a useful helping hand.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had few experiences so far but ... absolutely nice, fantastic, fabulous, stunning, awesome, superb, and lovely! Thank you great people from CS! :-D And Thanks to CS :-)
I look forward to meet much more very special people with CS!

Music, Movies, and Books

In this aspect I cannot well identify my idea...
Depends on the moment and the mood: blues, Latin American, pop, house, disco, classic, melodic, spanish guitar, opera, ..., ...
I do like to listen to the radio and keep changing channel :-D
The only one that makes me difficult to listen is jazz.
Almost the same style for movies (and I'm never able to remember the titles and the names of the actors).
At the end I read scientific books, philosophical, manuals, ... strange things really! ;-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Diving under the ice.
Climbing Mount Gran Sasso (Big Rock) in Italy.
Jumping from helicopters.
Playing capoeira.
:-)

Teach, Learn, Share

Knowledge on first aid, diving, climbing, martial arts.
I'm pretty good at touring in Rome.
Can teach Italian language :-)
At present I work involved in strategic planning and business development in the field of aerospace and satellite systems, so anything related to this...

I'd like to improve my spanish, my english, and basicaly anything else someone can teach me.

I'd love to teach and to learn cooking new typical traditional dishes.
