Personal DescriptionMe? I began to be on the road quite early, learning programming from my own. Now I've an online WebShop, quite satisfying :)How I Participate in CS2I'm quite good in programming, so I give my poor help to this great site :) In addition I love to organize meeting, and together with Flapic we're organizing various meeting in Rome and Around. If you'll parteciapte in A collective, probably you'll taste my food. What are you waiting for? :)CouchSurfing ExperienceBefore joining this structured site, I travelled a lot alone or with friends, always guest of friends of friends. I really didn't know my host, and loved so much discovering them moment after moment!InterestsI love to cook and eat what I cook, I like bike (motor-bike), water and sky sports, good food and superb wines :) Everything new, take my attention. We are not parties fan, and don't make late at any cost, but we know how to enjoy life anyway :) We litterally love travelling. With our motorbike we travelled hidden treasures of our country.Music, Movies, BooksI worked in a video rental store, so too many films to write here :) And for music, hem, i always hear at it but no matter of what it plays, it's sufficient is the right music in the right time.Types of People I enjoyWe welcome all nice and clean travellers.Teach, Learn, ShareDo you want to cook? An italian recipe? ask me ;) And if you want a boring lesson on Php and Mysql, we can sit and talk ;)Opinion on the CouchSurfing.com ProjectWhen approaching this site, I was a little doubtful concerning the functionality of the system. But I'm curious, so tested. Adn ...WoW... what a great experiences.

I think if Hermoine often, and miss the limon liquour.
From Destiny Tokyo, Japan Jul 20, 2006 Positive He's the man!!! I haven't surfed his couch just yet, but let me tell you about our man Giovanni here. When I contacted Vito to surf his couch in Sassi, he was hesitant because he was too busy with the university exam. Then I found out Giovanni is his brother (he comes in the chat room pretty often too, you see), so I sent him a message asking if he knows anywhere I can stay at... He contacts his family and calls me right away to let me know I can stay with them. Next thing you know, he gives me his mobile number, his father's mobile number, Vito's mobile number, his family's house number, and he even found the way to get to Matera from Cosenza, where I was staying at! Not only that, when I made it to Roma, he met up with me for a dinner and took me to fun places that Romans go to party. I consider I already surfed his couch and I will be forever greteful for his goodness that enabled me to see Sassi! Thanks, Giovanni, you are the man!!!
From Mark Balko Calgary, Canada Jul 19, 2006 Giovanni and Cinzia ANYTIME. Two cute and wonderful people. They are always welcomed to my home...have made me happy that I joined CS. Hope to see you two again!
From Astrid Hrdina Vienna, Austria Jul 19, 2006 Vienna. I am so sorry I didn't see them a lot, they were so nice, interesting and helpful people!! They even fixed my sofa and my bathroom lights (I will forever be grateful for that)!!
It really was a pleasure and lot of fun to talk to them...I hope I will be able to visti them in Rome very soon!! |
