I am an Italian 30 yo guy who grew up and is still living in Milan, a seething european metropolis, internationally accepted arbiter of taste in fashion and design.
Yeah, that makes my city interesting, though I feel a bit of a maverick in it since I don't wear fancy clothes and I don't have sofisticated furniture in my home...
Rather that that, in my place you can find many books. I love reading and my tastes are really eclectic.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am an introvert with an intense personality. It means that if I meet the right person, who likes to communicate and share personal tales, some hours together could be enough to build a strong connection and enduring memories.

I love CS because, thanks to the magic of hospitality, it gives me the chance to meet special, interesting people that enrich my knowledge of the world, giving me the opportunity to see who I am by looking at my reflection in their eyes.

Interests

*No sex-surfing*
Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong in sex. I love it, really. But travellers reported that some hosts pretend special attentions from them (if you google "sex surfing" you may get frightened. So, just to set things straight: in my apartment you will be in a perfectly safe environment. (by the way I hope I won't fall in love with anyone on CS, as it would be so sad to see the person go after a few days!)

*No "just looking for a place to sleep" travellers*
Though I would like to help everyone, I am on this website because I believe that travelling is about meeting new people. Anyway if it is an emergency situation, I will be glad to help if I can, as I usually do.
