Personal Description

Me? 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 CS2

I'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 Experience

Before 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!

Interests

I 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, Books

I 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 enjoy

We welcome all nice and clean travellers.

Teach, Learn, Share

Do 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 Project

When 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. You create an addicted cser ;)

I met Giovani in Rome at a Cs gathering. For the short time we met, Giovani seems to be a person that's down to earth, sincere, and fun to be around. Definetly a quality individual to have as a friend.

I really enjoyed spending time with Giovanni at the CSC in Eisenstadt and then in Vienna.He made me laugh to tears with his stories and his descriptions;-) and we also had a great time cooking together.He is a deeply caring person and I hope to have the chance to get to know him better.Why is it that I think italians are the best...?VIVA ITALIA:-))
UPDATE: we met again at the end of May in Rome, even though only for a coffee and for a short but constructive guided tour at his famous store;)Sweet and caring as always....looking forward to hosting him in germany!!!

I meet Giovanni with his Cousin and his Friend at the Berlin CS Meeting and we also had a lot of fun out in the town all night. He is a nice guy with interresting storries and I'm sure he's a great host. We did not have the time to meet the next night, because they had to work late, but I'm sure it would have been a ball too! Make sure you call in next time arround!

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!!!
