About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meeting new friends

ABOUT ME

First of all I am sorry for all the Couchsurfers boys and man. Couchsurfing is working but not as before and in my opinion is not working in the right way because men looking for a host can be in trouble.
The new "system" to host people now is not adeguate for men. I works better for women, I guess.
About me I don't host couples or men for a safety issue. I am on wheelchair and I want to feel safe 100% and comfortable at home with my guest. This is what I feel and think and this is the reason I accept only one women at home as guest.
Let's go on.

My good new Couchsurfers, remember "i am not Airbnb", please. If you need one bed for one night I am not the right host for you.
I mean CS is for a "slow tourism". if you need to hurry up or if you are here for business and you have appointments for meetings in companies and you need a Uber host who takes you everywhere by car, find a better accommodation, please.
If you are here for traveling, for vacation, for Florence, for art, for Italian culture and way of life you are welcome. Take it easy, enjoy Italy with typical Italian "quite" slow way of life, take it easy. Enjoy your travel.

Ok… let me introduce my self, if you are still interested in.
I am a good person and I am looking - when it is possible - for good emotions and for feeling good in my life. Contacts with new people, talking and sharing knowledge about their life, my life and about Florence and Italy are all pleasant things for me. I like being a tourist guide in my town. I am interested in other people in general. And i have problems in travelling. Watch my pictures, please, and you will understand what i mean. I live alone. I have a quite big house so i can invite people from all the world to meet me here because I know I can't visit all the places in this world.
Ciao Ciao!

PHILOSOPHY

This is a difficult question! Anyway i try to be myself and to love other people. And i would like to travel and see the world... where my wheelchair can go...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I had some guests, every experience was nice, every meeting gave me some good memories. I live alone but sometimes i introduced my guests to my parents, relatives or friends and it was nice for everybody. We loved spending time all together talking about different cultures, habits, food, stories or travels ...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing is not only host, guest, meeting, it is a good attitude to life and to people. I like it.

Interests

I love music and playing guitar. I love movies by Fellini and Malick... and Kubrik... but i also like comedies. I love taking pictures. I love museums. I love Fiorentina (Football Club). I am interested in Russian culture.
