“ You can’t buy happiness, but you can buy a bike and that’s pretty close 🚴🏻‍♂️😍”

❤️🤍💚 ———> Please READ MY PROFILE and send me a personalized request, because I really love warm, easy going, and open minded people ( like all the travelers who stayed at my house ☺️).
I live with my parent and I share my single bed with all my couchsurfers 🤗🤗 And so many times we even slept 3 people in it, funny stories, lots of laughs and even some pillow fights! 😂🤣😂
Nice conversations and free hugs 💯 % welcome and guaranteed as I love them 🤗🤗and as one couchsurfer told me once…” Let’s hug and sleep, it’s warm and sweet 🥰”
And I’ve had so many amazing experiences with everyone, so I hope you will be my next one!😍😍😍😍 <——— ❤️🤍💚

So here I am😍! I’m Baby, the italian guy in GVT cycling suit leading the group in the picture 🚴 😉, passionate about biking and travelling ✈️ and living in the center of Bari with my little italian family👩‍👦😊.
Positive, open minded, confident, warm, easy going, energetic, I have a healthy lifestyle, fit and active. 💪🏻

As I’ve been a semi-professional cyclist for several years, I’ve also met and hosted lots of cyclists at my house, so I’m quite an experienced host!!! 😀And I have so many stories and memories that I will gladly share with you!😊

I’m also very good in playing soccer ⚽️, volleyball 🏐, tennis 🎾 and table tennis 🏓, so if you wish to play any of these sports with me, we’ll have fun as I’m very competitive ! 💪🏻😃

My family is just as sporty as me: my father was a professional volleyball player 🏐and my mom was champion of the Apulia region in cross country 🏃‍♀️when she turned 17 years old. So I guess sport is inside our blood😀!

My job is usually in remote👨‍💻 , so I have the opportunity to host people throughout all the year as it is very flexible😊

PHILOSOPHY

“ Aspire to inspire before you expire “ 💪🏻🧘

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because happiness is real only when shared ☺️! so let’s share all we have!!!😍
And I think that everyone in the world can teach you something, so every person you meet it’s a precious gift that you receive from life. And as we only live once, I’d love to meet as many people as possible so that I can learn lots of things! 😀
Having guests from all around the globe is for me like traveling while being home 🏠 ✈️ 😉and exploring a city with a local is completely different and much more interesting from my point of view, so I’m ready to show you every hidden part of my city and I hope you will do the same with me! 😊

Interests

Cycling gives me a sense of freedom and the possibility to compete with others and explore every landscape, so I love it! 🚴❤️
But when I’m not biking I like good conversations with a fresh beer in summer🍺 or a good cup of tea in winter...yes, to be honest I’m a real tea lover☕️💛!
I also love to play chess ♟, video games, cards and watching nice movies 🎞 or tv series 🎥
And of course I like travelling and discovering new places and traditions. ✈️
