I’m Stefano, an Italo-Cypriot space engineer with a passion for exploring the unknown.

If I could travel through time and space, I’d be first in line! Until then, I’m all about discovering the wonders of our beautiful Earth.

Since July 2024, I’ve been on a full-time adventure with Isabel, exploring incredible places and meeting fascinating people. If you’re nearby or traveling along our path, let’s connect!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a traveler, not a tourist.

For me, travel is about connecting with places and people on a deeper level, beyond the postcard-perfect shots.

Couchsurfing has introduced me to some of the most genuine and fascinating travelers. And I hope to meet even more remarkable people as we travel the world these coming months.

One day, I’d love to return the favor and welcome travelers back home in Rome (Italy) or perhaps in Cyprus.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visiting Iraq was an eye-opener; despite media portrayals. I found a country full of warmth, peace, and welcoming people, a part obviously its sites and its amazing history.
