LOCATION



I live alone in a 80 sqm apartment located in the west part of Padova, pretty close to the city center.
My area is quite well served by transportation system: one bus line stopping at 30mt from the house, and other two lines located at 5-10 mins by foot, connect it to the railway station in about 20 mins, and the center itself is easily reacheable by foot in about 15 mins and 5 by bike.



COUCH & HOUSE





- There is one spare room with two bed-couches for a person each
- I have an air mattress for two people that can be put anywhere (usually in the guest room)
- In case of need, more space is available on the floor without any mattresses in the same room and in another room (computer room) for 2-4 additional people
- In exceptional cases, also my room is available, with one matress close to mine and space on the floor

Depending on the period and my acceptance of requests, you might or you might not be staying with other guests in the same room. Feel free to ask about it if this concerns you!
I kindly ask you, if possible, to bring a sleeping bag, because having many guests all the time I can't provide blankets for everyone, and washing blankets after one guest use is a waste of energy.
I don't have pets and I don't smoke. Please respect my house and smoke outside.
A broadband connection with Wi-Fi Access Point is available. You can use my PC, but don't abuse it!
Also, there are 3 bicycles available for you to tour the city easily! :)

Wheelchair accessibility: doors are 1,20 meters wide, although my apartment is located at the 2nd floor, and without lift. Please contact me for more details.



COUCHSURFING WITH ME


If you want to couchsurf with me, I will consider each request on a 'first come, first served' basis and a confirmation of your stay is needed, otherwise I'll feel free to give the couch to other people. I repeat: You are kindly asked to confirm if I say YES.
Usually I send you my contact information and detailed directions, so please take them with you to avoid any problems! By the way, my number is visible on the profile. If anything changes, please keep me updated through CS message or phone.

I prefer hosting guests that are able to stay minimum two nights - in order to spend more time toghether and get to know better. If you can only stay one night, no problem, but two and more nights guests will have priority.

If I'm not busy with exams and other university activities, I will be glad to show you around the city for a bit, have a pizza or a spritz. My time schedule is always changing according to my activities, so we will see day-by-day.
I'm now working&going to the univerisity during the week so the best time for me is weekends, usually I'm less busy during weekends, but also during the week I'll do my best to help you! Twice a week (Monday-Thursday) I go swimming in the evening around dinner time (7-8.30pm) so I might not be available.
I'm often away during summer, but I should be able to help you on most times of the year.

The two golden rules, simple advices to keep in mind when staying at my place so we can avoind any misunderstanding:

- Leave everything as you found it
- Just ask me for any kind of information, help, permission!

- at my place you will find some advices on how to use the facilities in the house ;)

Note to freeloaders: Just don't expect me to be a full hotel service with free tour, meals and so on included - because I am not. If you stay with me consider yourself lucky :) and be prepared to have other guests around and don't complain, cause I love hosting people :)



WEATHER

WHAT TO SEE AND VISIT


Venice is located at 30 min by train (just 2,90€) from Padova station during all the day from 5 till 24, many times per hour.

If you are coming to Padova, more than just visiting the nearby Venice, spend some time to visit also the historical Old Town city center and the main squares.


A CS wiki page about Padova with many useful tips and some of the places you can visit is here.
A website of the Tourist Information Office is also available: Turismo Padova (including GPS itineraries and audio guides!)

A video with shots from Padova



And a final note: please consider the cultural exchange and NOT only the free accomodation.



Couchsurfing Request is very much appreciated or, alternatively, MSN. I will answer as soon as possible saying if the couch it's available at the moment.

Personal Description

Describing myself seems a difficult task, it should be up to the other people to describe me, but I can try:
I love to Know, I love travelling, I love the life and all its challenges, I'm quite rational, but sometimes my irrational-spiritual side comes out.
I think a good description of me are my interests so look at them!
I'm proud to be Italian, but often I'd like to go abroad...

How I Participate in CS2

I'm currently Country Ambassador, Geo-fixer for Italy and glad helping to build a local organisational structure for Couchsurfing.
I'd like to see more inputs and tools to let people operate effectively.

CouchSurfing Experience

Before I joined CS, I've been two times in Germany in the house of a friend of mine, and I slept on a couch with a beautiful view on the Rhine river.

Some Statistics:

I'm involved in CS primarily as a host. Of the thousands requests I received and answered, 208 led to an effective hosting experience. They came through various Hospitality Exchange websites: 59% of them are from CS members! I am also a member of Hospitality Club, BeWelcome and GlobalFreeLoaders.com and they account for the 23% of the remaining requests. 17% of the requests were made by members belonging to more than one network.




My guests


At the current day, I have hosted 331 guests (323 hosted once + 8 more than once) from 40 different countries!!!



Guests nationality stats (as of June 2008)

Opinion on the CouchSurfing.com Project

Now, I'm a member since more than three years, and my experience as host and guest has been very very good, I met some of the most interesting people on the planet.
I think it's a beautiful project, and Casey had a clever idea creating it. I think that in the future it will be useful for me, I love travelling and this is a genuine way to do it. You can meet interesting people, know a country with an 'insider''s view...
There are some suspicious people and some profiles do not match the reality of the person, bu mostly we're people that want travelling all around the world, and the friendship/reference/verification system is quite good.
I believe in the idea of Hospitality, that's why I'm promoting this and other websites (Hospitality Club) to trustworthy people.

Tiziano was my very first host:-) I went to Padova with both my mom and son, and he hosted all 3 of us(!)While staying at his place, we got to know a lot of other couchsurfers! He took us to a CS meeting at a local pub in Padova where we meet a lot of other couchsurfers and tried the local very popular drink Spritz!
From the very first contact I had with Tiziano, he provided a lot of great information about transport and how to get around in Padova. He is really trying very hard to be great host for many many couchsurfers!! When staying at his place you always meet a lot of people! He hosted 2 more people while we stayed at his place! 2nd day I was there, I made some Danish cousine for all the people staying at his place! We all had a very nice time and a great night!
Thank u for a very nice experience! Hope to meet you again one day:-)

First couchsurfing experience, wonderful!
I started my trip thinking of breezing through Italy to spend more time in the east. Then I thought about staying a little bit in Venice and see the surroundings. I ended up staying four days in Padova...
I never dreamed of participating to the european mobility day in Padova ; i never thought I would eat sushi for the opening of a new restaurant in town, with people from all over the world ; I never knew I would ride a bike to the hills south of Padova, with a personal guide...
All this I did,thanks to Tiziano ; he is a great host, smiling, helpful and very nice!!

At least somebody how loved being on lake Balaton. Tiziano was wise enough not to go just to Budapest but tried to see the rest of the country. I showed him parts of lake Balaton and I had a great day. I enjoyed his company so much that I drove him to his host. We have to do this again... Maybe in front of Campanile???

He is very passionate about the CS project and has a really big heart, offering others his home when they are stranded, even sleeping on the floor himself! I hope you get a chance to visit the 300 people from 40 different countries you have hosted including me!

I met him in Venice on 19 july, at the Redentore Night Meeting with many other C.S. members. Great experience: all his organization about the meeting was fantastic! He's my C.S. hero!
He's extremely friendly person, great guy, generous and ready to help others!
We shared our food and slept together on the Venice Lido beach, we talk a lot about our CS experiences and I find him really smart and friendly, guess it would be a great experience to host him. I hope we can meet again soon!

Update July 2008:
Not only did Tiziano save my day by helping me out to find a way from Zurich to Verona when all trains where on strikeg, he also hosted me for a night in Padova. We went out to an alternative but very cozy place with other Couchsurfers as well. It was a great pleasure to stay at Tizianos place. See you soon around in Norway :)

One of the main pillars of CS community in Italy. Tiziano is calm and relaxed, always ready to help everyone whenever it's necessary. It was great to have him in Pistoia Pizza Meeting. I hope to participate with him in some other Cs meeting or gathering and make a real "photo" challenge Nikon vs Canon!

I stayed with Tiziano for two nights. He is a pleasant, softly spoken chap. We had a nice evening which he organised visiting an observatory and a museum which were open till 1am and long chats over pizza. Thanks for everything especially the ice cream - yum. xx

Tiziano, is fantastic!
In the night, and even being tired, he took me in bicycle along Pádua's center, telling me all the little stories arround the thown, then I went to sleep to his house that is the PERFECT PALACE OF THE CS! With maps, guides, photos, posters with indications, everything very organized for the comfort of his guests.
Thank you Tiz for this so good experience. Hope to see you soon and with more time to enjoy your nice company.

Tiziano has an unique personality! Priceless member of the Italian CS community, he was very kind and helpful answering to the message I posted in the Venice group. It was really nice meeting him at my first Italian couchsurfing meeting in Padova and then in Pistoia at the pizza party!

we have meet in osmica, spent some time together talking, now he is kind of my secret agent ;) for certain type of information. see u next week and dont study too much!
update I:
kras meeting, but we didnt have much time to talk. we could do it while driving to train station, but i think the way i drive made him stay in silence (and praying:)
update II:
save my ass, offering his couch while visiting biennale. it was a hard day for him, but as a real cs-ing angel he took care of us...and i have cried that night, a lot, the reason was happines and fun :)
update III = "tips on how to avoid all the rules while surfing tizianos couch":
go camping with him :) he will bring a tent especialy for you and there are no instructions on how to behave while using it, so feel free to do whatever you want :) then please leave a positive reference saying "i was surfing his couch" (this is a part i enjoy most, while listening to his comments :)

... even if he sold himself for a biscuit with chocolate, i really like this guy and I really enjoyed his company during the CS meeting in Croatia and then in Pistoia... a funny guy,but be careful, after a certain hours he keeps laughing for nothing and tryin' to stop him is almost impossible (almost... you could kill him... :P) Hope to meet him again soon!!!!

Tiziano is our Ambassador and I have to say that he really deserves this "title"
Had heard about him for long time, but never got the chance to meet him: finally we could catch up and he is exactly how people describe him in his profile. Honestly I was skepical about his age,but despite it he is such a mature, sensitive, clever guy that is a pleasure to talk to! Thanks Tiziano for your great job in CS

Tiziano hosted me and two other friends for one night on our way from Milan to Rome. Although our late arrival and early departure the next day didn't allow us to get to know each other well, from the very beginning I got the feeling that he is a nice guy by all means. I would definitely like to meet him again, he is always welcome in Athens!!

Tiziano is a very spirited and nice person to be around. Also he has been a perfect host to me and Marianne in Padua. Later I also attended a CS meeting he organized in Este. And I came back a while later for two other great CS meetings, a hike, and a picnic Tiziano organized. Again it was a superb experience :). Thank you so much for your hospitality, and the opportunity to meet new people! :) Hope to see you again!

First time we met Tiziano was during the 1st Little Dolomites meeting.
Soon after, we participated his organized meeting. Well- since the weather conditions weren't perfect for a hiking picnic-meeting, Tiziano created quickly a back-up meeting in Este which was very well done!
From the quality time that we spent together laughing and chatting about different subjects, we can say that he is reliable, funny, friendly and easygoing person.
His devotion as an Ambassador in this Project is truly remarkable.

It has been more then a year I stayed at Tiziano's home and I've always had on my conscience that I haven't left a reference for this great guy! He hosted me in Padova on a very short notice. He's really enjoyable to talk to, tells you what to see and do in Padova and really makes you see how CS works because of people like him. And he made me a wonderful cappocino which I never forget - Hope it's never too late to say thank you!

Tiziano is so known among CS community in Italy that they could sell him as a souvenir:D. This is because he has everything what a CSer should have and give. He is very friendly, polite, helpful, funny and with many experiences. Hope to see you on one of your meetings.

What is so nice about Tiziano is that he LOVES his country and is PROUD of it!, and likes showing it around.... that could seem simple, but, is not usual for Italians! he is really nice, again, an adjective which does not really describe the depth of his personality!, Thanks Tiziano!
