Mimmo Panza

eventhough we didn t have that much time for having a proper conversation he really looks like a sweet and gentle guy!!

He´s one of the organiser of the MI TOO Party and anytime smiling. Next meeting we will meet again.

Mimmo saved me from freezing and starvation. Due to some silly circumstances we didn´t have much time to spend together but I can honestly say I haven´t met anyone as passionate about couchsurfing as him. THANK YOU and till we meet again!

The one you know you can trust The coolest person i met these last days
Bravissimo to all of you for this great moment

Mimmo is the core of Milan CS group. He is always involved in activity for the success of the movement... so you can't think about "how is great CS in our city" without make a reference to him.
Simply great! Thank man!

When you meet Mimmo you can immediately feel him big heart and generosity! He is one important part of Italian Couch Surfing comunity and one of the engine of Milano Group.
A presto Mimmo!

I met him at CS aperitivo.... he's a very calm and interesting guy, very passionate about Couchsurfing.
He's willing to share some great ideas, you will surely have great conversations with him..

Staying at Mimmo's place was really great.I enjoyed very much in talking with him and getting to know a little bit more about Italians and the way things "go" there.He also showed me around and had a story for everything I saw :)Even a cold weather and a rain didn't manage to spoil my stay in Milano.Thanks a lot for everything and hope to see you again some time.

Mimmo!
Thank you so much for everything. You're a super host. A true believer of couchsurfing. Lovely person. Very trusting as well. Thank you very much.

I met Mimmo at a festival in Milano and we talked a little bit about this couchsurfing project and our experiences with it. He is really a nice guy and it was interesting to have a conversation with him.

And you know he has a cabrio and the girls get crazy about it... ;P

An exceptional person: calmed and at the same time fun, kind, good conversationalist, what more can be asked for? To enjoy his company is a privilege.
Mimmo, I liked to meet you during my stay in Milan. And remember that you promised to visit me...

Mimo is one of the biggest sun in Milan :) Always smiling, always open for the party and always ready to help :) CS Milan group withouth him deffinitly wouldn't be the same... Thank you for everything Mimo! :-*

I met Mimmo during a diner that Carlo (also CS) set up. We had a nice conversation on politics in Italy and Europe. A very pleasant and interesting guy!

person with big hart,intelligent,honest,kind

Mimmo was my first CS's Host so RESPECT! I surfed in his place 4 days and had a really good experience: Mimmo picked me up from my hostel to his warm flat. He is a great host who love to know his guest and let them feel good all the time, we had a deeply conversaton about this amazing project and then went out to a charming appertivo in Milan with all the 'gang'. I would like to see him again and happy to see my country's flag on his profile. Warmly recommended! :)

Mimmo was my first CS host ever. He proved me why CS is so wonderful! He showed me Milano, gave me a map, introduce me to CS Milano group, organize an Aperitivo with the group. We had long talks about interesnting topics. He is not only a CS host model to be but a guy with a big heart, warmth, funny, kind, anti-selfish, open-minded, interesting, ... and the list goes on. As a person and Cocuh surfer member I give him + + + + + + + + or 100% positive grade. It's hard to put in to words this travel experineces. Anyway my home is open to you: in Bristol Buenos Aires and around the world! See you soon!

I met him just for an aperitive in Milan during a CS meeting. Unfortunately I didn't spent a lot of time but it is a pleasure meet one of "pillars" of CS in Milan. Mimmo seems like a nice guy I imagined him to be! I hope I get a chance to speak with him more in another great CS event!

A very active Couchsurfer! And he is always taking care of the new and the old CS!

It's always a pleasure to hang out with Mimmo in his city that I love so much! Alla prossima Mimmo! ;)

Mimmo was my first couchsurfing experience. I will go on! He hosted me and my friend in a friendly way on our little Italian trip. He took us to meetings with other couchsurfers. We had good ice-cream, a nice aperitivo and a tasty re-meeting, eating a pizza before I returned to Germany.

Apparently, we had a first meeting in Galiga, at the Promisquity Party...but, since my head is often in the sky...I can for good saying to have met Mimmo during the sunday BBQ in Zurich, after the crazy Street Parade wich stole all our energy!!! :) Mimmo and his friedn Marco were very kind with me and my friend from the first moment, helping two un-organzied italian girls and sharing their food and the towel with us! We felt very closed during the BBQ, having in common the typical italian un-organization!! Ah,ah!! :) I'm sure I'll meet him soon since we have so many friends in common and because he's such an active person in CS!! Great!!!

I met Mimmo and his friend Marco in Zurich during a sunday BBQ at the lake, after the night of Street Parade!we were all so tired,but we found some energy to have nice talk,go swimming and doing bbq together!!we shared food and towel really like brother and sister!ah..the last but not the least: the Italian Dressing of Ana's Best..UNFORGETTABLE!!!!Hope to see you again at some CS Events!!!

Mimmo is very cool guy, a big thank's for this hospitality. If you speak only french, don't worry, he speak more than what he says...
A bientot... c'est pour quand l'invasion de CS Milan a Toulouse ??

I stayed in Milan four days and those three nights I was so happy to be hosted by Mimmo. I had a great time in Milan and with Mimmo, he is a very friendly person, he is so kind, he did so much for me, he took me to those cs-meetings, which I really enjoyed.

Mimmo was an amazing host! He saved my cousin and I from a night on a cold bench and took us in to his cozy apartment. He showed us the hot spots of Milano in his super groovy convertable and helped us find another couchsurfer when he left for a couchsurfing meeting. Im so happy we got to meet Mimmo and hope to see him in the future! Remember, youre always welcome in Kansas City!

I can not understand why I haven't yet entered Mimmo among my friends and left a refernza to him.
He is one of the pillars of the Milan Group.
Mimmo organizes events Aperitivi and hosts many people as few. I'm happy to know him and share with him many evenings.

Mimmo is a great host. He was very forgiving when I woke him up early and very patient with my rusty attempts at Italian! And it was great to meet all his couchsurfing friends. I had a lovely time.

Mimmo found a couchsurfer for me and saved me at the last minute. He's ultra patient and knows the ins and outs of Milano like the back of his hand. He even found another place on my last night there. Thanks for all your help, Mimmo!

He likes to take pictures! :-)

Mimmo is the ultimate couchsurfer! He was super patient with us and our shenanigans and saved us from certain death in the parks of Milano. Mimmo showed us all the neat places to see and let us stay extra night when we couldn't find another couch, he even saved our friend. thanks a lot for everything Nemo!

Mimmo is really a wonderful person so full of live and energy.Now is my friend and I´m happy for it.He is the spirit of CS.See you!!

UPDATE July'08
I miss to be close him because of his kidness and his predisposition to help other persons. I'm very happy that we're friends (^_^)

Mimmuzzooo!! I don't know you as much as i'd like to (not yet!) but i already understood you are so sweet and nice! Talkative and happy to be a CSer! Looking forward to meeting you again!
Update: we finally met up again at the Paella 2008 and it was great fun!! I wasn't wrong, he's super sweet and kind! And coccolone! :)

Mimmo, My great Italian Milano friend.
He was at the Picknick but also at the Paella meeting in 2008 where we had really fantastic talks. He even made me missing the Milano time so much that there has to come a next picknick in 2009. Hugs and see you again.

Mimmo gave me so many rides to and from meetings, and after going to Galiga in his car, it became obvious that this guys is awesome. He is a really generous guy, good to all of his friends and prospective friends, and has a cool car and sister to boot (the sister being more important of course). Basically, thanks for talking to me in Italian, torturing me with your camera, and always being a really supportive friend. :-)

He was the "official" photographer for our group at Par Tot parade (or, at least, he took a lot of photo). Mimmo is a nice guy and I hope to meet him again.

Mimmo is very friendly and easygoing guy! He helped us to support Par Tot Parade in Bologna and carryed our "couchsurf mobile"!!Great time with him at Parade! I hope to meet him again and be friend!

Mimmo's a really sweet guy! It was a pleasure hanging out with him the whole time I was in Milano, and I can tell he's a very good host. It's a pity I didn't have more time to get to know him better. Well, maybe next time! :)

Mimmo is one of the hearts of Couchsurfing not only in Milan but in whole Italy as well. A wonderful person, willing to share everything and an amazing person in general. I'm really happy tha I met him and definetely we'll meet again for sure :)

Mimmmmooooo!!!He's so friendly,positive,always smiling,fun,warm-hearted and caring that you can't help feeling at ease with him from the very first moment you meet him. Perfect ambassador,he's always ready to help and he really does his best for the community.In a word:great... our great Cs hero and most of all our great friend!Thanks Mimmo!! :D

Mimmo is incredible! Such a great person in every way, super sweet and fun. We carried out our grand plan of making it to my flight by staying up all night which ended with a midnight tour of the city to keep from falling asleep. I had a great experience! There is not a single thing not great about him.

i thought Mimmo..AKA: mAmmo (my typo) was a sweety before i met him.. then i was desperate for a place to stay and he took me under his wing. Thanks Mimmo.. you are an awesome fella and im glad to have met you!
if you have the chance to be hosted by him, make sure you do cause hes a top sort!

Mimmo is a very nice, kind and friendlt person, it's always very interesting to talk to him. We met in one meeting in Milano, but I hope we meet again!! See you Mimmo - a fan of driving ;) We wait you in Spb :)

While Mimmo was here only for a short time, we spent so much time chatting about different things. You know, I really feel that Mimmo has a really good, XXXL-size heart, and he is not only talking about "to care about others" but really cares about the people around him! I am happy to met him and recommend you the same if you have the chance!

Mimmo, if you ever come to Budapest again, my doors are always open! Wish you the bests!

it was great to know Mimmo at last, i heard so much about him before, and all I was told was positive about him and actually all was true! Mimmo is really nice and relaxed, witty and clever, you simply must know him as soon as possible!

mimmo,i met him in milano at a cs meeting- one can only say that he is a great chap full of energy ready to share a great time and a laugh. thanks mimmo for contributing to my great time in milano!

Mimmo is a great fellow-CSer and I am very glad to have met him. We met in Rome at the Italian-Greek meeting and discussed, ate, drank and had lots of fun. I hope I see him again somewhere (maybe in Naxos in August???)

Mimmo... thank you for the red heart that you brought us... you're amazing!

Eevn if we don't leave in the same city, it's always a pleasure spending time and chatting together when it happens. He's also a "source" of endless information about CS and what events and gatherings are organized worldwide!

I met one of the biggest milanese CS drinking wine in my home environment: the ‘castelli romani’. Glad to meet him. Hope to cu soon

Mimmo is a lovely, friendly guy. He always has a smile and something nice to say. We travelled together to Switzerland for a few days and he's a really relaxed, chilled out person and very easy to be around. A top bloke ;oD

Mimmo and some of his friends invaded my couch for a weekend of fun, sight-seeing, eating and drinking. It has been a great pleasure hosting this crazy bunch of f*****g Italians. A few months later Mimmo turned up again at my place for the CouchSurfing Paella 2008 and in August we surfed the same couch at Jakob's place. A lot more very good memories - at least the ones I remember. :-)

Mimmo was my first introduction to couch surfing which was great because he cares so much about the organization. He made for a great intro to the city for me: great friends, good food, and he's up for anything. Thanks for a good weekend!!

Mimmo has been my first official CS guest and I have to say I couldn't start in a better way! He's a very kind person, smart, easy-going and very passionate about CouchSurfing. I hope to meet him again, since we don't live that far from each other.

Mimmo is a great guy. His organization and how he deal with CS spirit is noticeable... I am really proud to have such a good ambassador and friend here in CS Milano... Thanks for everything...

We met in Milano airport.He pick us up by car. Thanks my bag was very heavy. He is one of the organizers of our Milano invasion. Bravo mimmo. well done and Thanks for a great week end. Comme soon to Barcelona¡¡¡

Mimmo is a friendly guy. He always carries a smile on his face.When I met him, I was not a member with CS but from what I saw and gathered is that all his guests completely trust him and they ar fond of him. C u soon Mimmo...

One of the organizers of the BCN counter invasion!!!! which was fantastic!!! more than 80 people having fun!!!
He's very sweet and always caring of his guests. Do not miss the oportunity to meet him! very trustable!!

Adorable, smart, funny, easy-going, active... Such a great guy that he has an open invitation with us to Barcelona the day he is able to. Carpe Diem! J

although I never had the chance to surf with Mimmo we did get to spend some time together at various CS gatherings.
he is a true Cser and I really enjoyed meeting him!
Next time I am so surfing with you Mimmo!!
p.s. come to Canada!

He co-organized the CS counter-invasion to Milano which i joined with some friends. He's a great organizer and it was a pleasure to meet him. See you as soon as you invade any town in Switzerland or even sooner somewhere else!

He just treat me as a princess!!!!

I promise I would never drink to "drow my pity" again!
(Just for fun, jeje)
see you soon in Barcelona or somewhere else!

I haven't couchsurfed that much yet but I have a feeling Mimmo is one of the best hosts I'll ever have. He is so nice and helpful and even threw me a birthday party! I will never forget what a great time I had with him in Milan, he is the greatest!

He was very friendly with me and ESteban who were traveling with me at that moment. He also give us help to find a couch in Barcelona. Thank you so much Mimmo

Without Mimmo cs group of Milano couldn't be as nice as it is now. Mimmo if full of energy and ideas. He's enough brave to go shopping with me and enough spontaneous to try to take me to Florence 2 hours before Russian New Year
Well, despite his perfect driving skills we still had to celebrate it in a bar in Regio Emilia but it was fun too.

Mimmo is one of the most generous and considerate people I have ever met. He made my Milan experience even more wonderful by showing us around the city, organizing fun events, and by introducing us to many of his friends. When we had serious transportation issues, he went 'above and beyond' to make sure that our travels were as smooth as possible. Thank you Mimmo!!!!

I surfed with Mimmo for 2 nights and it was just fantastic...he really loves couchsurfing and meeting people and it definitely shows. He even organized a huge party for my friend's birthday! I hope to hang out with Mimmo in the future!!

Mimmo has a neverending smile and he's an excellent interlocutor! I'm proud to have him as leader of Milan CS Group!

Mimmo was very nice for letting me stay at his place, really made up my day cos the couch was so comfy!!!!

Hope to meet up with u again :)

Mimmo is one of the strongest columns of CS temple!

Mimmo is a great CS ambassador who cares for each of us, especially newcomers and he is always there if you need him

Mimmo is very helpful. Me met at CS meeting. During the CS we have changed place and Mimmo drives us from one place to another. I was impressed that he drives very fast but the same time very saferty:)

Mimmo arranged a couch with Anna for my second trip to Milano, and is one of the reasons why I wanted to return. He is really clear about what it all means (couchsurfing, life...), and is a wonderful and thoughtful Ambassador for CS. I am inspired by him and the other members that I met from the Milan community.

It's the time to become friends!! ;)

WOW! Give this guy a post in a forum and he will gather 100 persons! Mimmo organized a very nice aperitivo in Milan, although I met him for the first time at the picnic, and he show'd us all his mighty powers! And, then, seated in a pub in front of a sandwich with smoked swordfish, parsley sauce and something else, he showed also his sociability. Great ambassador, keeps up his city destiny!

I felt so confortable close to him. He is funny and he eat a lot of Nutella.. The next should be Nutella party...

Mimmo is simply the best . This is my first CS Milan Meeting and I think that the organier has done a good work . I've felt more comfortable to talk with him!

He's the best ambassador ever! we met in a crowded meeting at ciu's. He's very nice and kind even if we didn't enough time to speak to each other, hope to see you soon.

Mimmo is a perfect host, he is a kind of very caring person and in addition he likes to socialize a lot. He offers much more than just a place to sleep, and I appreciated a lot. Thanks Mimmo!

Thanks for Italian invasion, Mimmo! Hope you enjoyed this meeting. You are welcomed to Bratislava next time.

Mimmo and his Italian company invaded Bratislava for 24 hours. He organized a meeting and I had that chance to talk to him there. He is really really friendly and warm and from what he had said to me about what he is doing in Milano it seems that he really does his best to help and improve the Milano CS community with traveling abroad.
I wish to meet you on such meeting also next time! Bratislava is open to you anytime! :))

Mimmo is an amazing guy, very funny and outgoing. He is a good italian teacher and tries to understand even the worst constructed phrases. We laughed a lot together and he added a great deal for the two days in Bruneck being an unforgettably amazing experience for me. Furthermore he organized the meeting in Bratislava, which I highly enjoyed. Thanks a lot and see you soon!

We met for a while in Bratislava couse i was there the night of the meeting he organized....i'm sure he has inside the spirit of cs and i had to meet him.....Grande Mimmo lets meet again somewhere....ciao

I haven't talked much with Mimmo, but he seems as a nice and friendly person.. and funny too. One of the italian mafia that came and made the cs gathering one of the best :)
