ABOUT ME

Hey!!

I'm Alessandro, I have Italian blood but Spanish heart. I'm a cat, I love the nature and the mountains and I just moved to Madrid (I came back here after many years). I tend to fill my week with many activities: a bit of sport, cultural activities, volunteering and of course the right amount of partying.

My hometown is Udine, a small city in the north east part of Italy, it's a quiet city but it's close to many interesting places: the seaside, the mountains, Slovenia, Austria, Croatia, and so on ;)

I'm gay and an activist for LGBTQIA+ rights since many years, in 2017 I participated in the organization of the Pride in my city, it was the most amazing experience ever! I then repeated for the following editions eheh

I always need to explore new places so I try to travel quite a lot, I want to see the whole world!!

I receive many requests, so if you feel like you want to get in touch with me please just be sure to explain why you chose me and add the keyword 'ohana' to the request. Have fun and enjoy life!!

Just be yourself, everybody else is already taken

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Paris, last evening, I went near the Tour Eiffel to see it in the night. I was waiting for the obscurity in the Champ-de-Mars when a man around 40 yo with beautiful dreads started to talk with me in French. I told him that I didn't know French so we started a strange conversation and we drank two bottles of cider!! He told me that I was welcomed in his house if I wished to continue my staying in Paris but I had already bought my train ticket so at the end I left but it was an amazing moment!!

Another amazing moment was in London, one of the first days I was there looking for an house and a job. I was on the bus in the evening and I met three old women (around 70s) dressed with colorful clothes. They were singing, and one of them started to talk with me, she explained me that they were going home from a concert in Hyde Park. Her English was perfect, like a song. We had a long chat together and it was very interesting!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love being an activist, doing things for free to help others.

I'd like to learn more about how to be more extrovert and spontaneous eheh
