About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Hi! I am 27. I graduateed in July as a physic engineer and then i worked as a research in a big italian company for 4 months. I didn't enjoy my job then i resigned.
I decided to take a break from my job so i left my city and went in Brighton.
In the last month i have studied english in Brighton and i am going to start a trip alone in the UK.
I will depart from the southern UK and i want to reach Scotland in around one month. I will get around mainly by bus and hitchiking if possible.

PHILOSOPHY

Nothing ventured nothing gained.
Leave and let leave.
My freedom stops where yours starts.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted only once, and i met many surfers guest of some friends of mine.
I always tried to travel and get close to the people of country i visited.
In my opinion travelling alone is the best way to know new people...but i haven't done it yet.
