About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Put down roots somewhere..... but first discover another corner of the world and meet new friends

ABOUT ME

I like to think of myself as a citizen of the world. I started a bit late on my mission to get to know it but in the last 10 yrs I've been catching up seriously. In the meantime I enjoy my profession - drilling holes in the ground, designing tunnels, excavations and roads -which have brought me to work and live in some interesting places. I will be soon on my way back home, my dear home, Italy! But there is still a lot to see and many new friends to meet on my trip back.....

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a wingbeat: live every second and try and make the best out of it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Recently joined. Looking forward to see what I can give and exchange in this community. So far I have a couch for surfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Nothing at such. However my family has always been very open to foreigners as we used to host language students back home.

Interests

Like cinema, dancing (salsa, merengue and tango), going out for a drink in good company, outdoor life, sports, a good book.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love music! I am a big U2 fan. Also like very much Police, Santana, Manu Chao, etnic music, jazz and some classic music too.

I like reading but am not an avid reader. I am always looking for that book that absorbs me completely and takes away hoours and hours of my sleep... recently this has happened with "Le scaphandre et le papillon" and Bill Bryson's "Downunder".

Living in OZ, I got myself a didge and love making funny noises with that. Also can make some noise with a guitar, specially when I feel a bit low.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Tandem skydive was certainly the craziest..... I never thought I could do that before!

Teach, Learn, Share

Sharing is the secret, I guess. I expect a lot of that from my couchsurfing experience!

Countries I’ve Visited
