I have been living abroad as an expat since 2002. Chile, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Italy, Russia, Finland, The Netherlands.

Between 1999 and 2003 i did run a not for profit organization (NGO) in southamerica dedicated to community development, sustainable living, strategic management; the NGO work was developed based on collaboration of travelers and volunteers, and consultancy education services provided by the organization.

Along 2001 and 2002 i was a DJ for a radio program dedicated to travelers, multicultural integration and intercultural collaboration/exchange, sponsored by my NGO. There i did interview many travelers and organized several cultural events and projects with them, including street children projects.

Between 2005 and 2011 i did run a private project of online communication, promoting lifestyle travel, video and audio messages, blog, facebook page, helped me reach travelers from all over that have been living abroad and abroad traveling continuously for more than 5 years, like i was.

Between 2013 and 2015, i did ask online for 3 travel and business assistants willing to travel and work with me, consultancy and training projects, for at least 1 year. As i received about 200 applications, i decided to start up a life style travelers club. The project was discontinued in 2015. Our main intent was to network and create travel-self-sustainability sources, like mini-business projects.

I have been living stable at several cities and enjoyed much to travel in the country, visit small towns, nature and know new people, local culture.

My couch-surfing trips will be dedicated more to meet people and mostly under one specific motto/theme: for example: exchange on yoga and meditation, explored on community living, visit important cities and get to know them by local insider eye, meet new friends, support local not for profit or sustainability projects, support start ups, visit cultural events, visit nature.

I enjoy to get to know the country i am living in and its culture, through coachsurfing. I may visit the next town for example. Coachsurfing more me is mostly a platform to meet people, create meaningful connections, make new friends, hear travel stories, extend my network.

I may wish from time to time to travel in order to write a new book or for field research, or as for visiting a location in which i may enjoy to visit nature or practice yoga or martial arts outdoors, for example.

.Strategic Management
.Start ups
.Project Management
.Self-Management

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

To Travel

While traveling in Southamerica, heading to a permaculture training, i had a 1 hour stop at the sun island in Bolivia, It was the year 2000, december 31st. Many travelers wanted to stay in the island overnight and the feeling of a great gathering was in the wind. After a walk around the town and sharing with few travelers i left the bus, took my backpack and jumped on the next boat to the island... a 62 travelers gathering that night, awesome party, made good friends, stay at the island 7 days... Permaculture training started 2 weeks later.

Swim with dolphins, black sea beaches.

Escape from a forest fire, i was in a beach/forest camp in the black sea coast, Russia.

Survive a mountaineering solo accident in the andes, southamerica.

Rescue and survive people from a draft competition accident, at an adventure outdoors festival... was an hero...its in TV

To play guitar by chords percussion... improv... and i never got a guitar playing lessons.
