Alessandro C.

Had a drink in a funny bar in Genova. Very very smart guy with plenty of interesting facts. Thought about changing our whole trip to try and surf with him.

Politically correctness: what does it mean? Surely not Ale! He is a very clever, smart boy, with a caustic sense of humor: for sure you don't risk to fall asleep while talking to him! I spent with him a very stimulating time.

He is a very crazy man and very funny too but the serbian woman dont understand his humor hehehe

Originally, I was invited to stay for one night, but Winger was kind enough to extend the invitation for the other two nights of the tango festival. I was able to meet some of his friends, and eat an extremely good pizza!

Dr. Winger is the host with the most in Turin. Generous, charismatic, friendly, fun, all this and more. Him and his extremely tolerant family and friends took us in and provided an Italian experience that we will never forget. Sitting at the kitchen table at midnight eating, drinking and listening to Italian! The couchsurfing experience of the year. Thank you Alessandro!

Mr. C. is an amazing and nice guy, with a lot of experiences to tell and with a great CD's collection (I didn't see it but he mentions it at least one time every 2 hours!eheheh). We had no much time to spend together, but I've made a mistake with the metro stop and so we spent 2 hours in the subway and we had a long long great chat! :D -But Flapic wanted to kill us!!-
I'm sure we'll meet again, so see you next time my dear!

Alessandro is a great host and spending our time with his friends was much more than funny!!! This was my first CS experience and i'm looking forward to do it again... Thanks a lot Alessandro, you'll always be wellcome to my house!

Alessandro will really make you feel at home in his house and in his beautiful city...couldn't imagine a better host for your Turin experience!!!

Dr. Winger..... Well, he is so much more than I expected. I expected very nice, but Alessandro was a perfect gentleman who brought such warm energy (and his lovely girlfriend, Sara) to my home. He is very curious about everything under the sun! WE had such a wonderful time getting to know each other more. He also gifted me with some wonderful and yummy presents. I wish they could have stayed a week so I could share more with them. Just plain fabulous guests!

I wasn't able to host Alessandro and his girlfriend when they were in Portland, but we did get to hang out and they were great company and very generous. Hopefully we'll be able to meet again some time.

I hosted this fine lad and his lady, Sarah, on their west coast road trip. I was pleased to find out that Allesandro also loves to devour a mountains of sushi for dinner. While here, he bought the coolest shoes I've ever seen and brought awesome Italian-ness to Portland. Excellent guy for social events, conversation, and as a guest. I hope to visit him in his native habitat where he handles organs just before spaghetti and grappa. Chin Chin!!

Alessandro and his girlfriend Sara made lovely guests. We had an awesome sushi dinner... to the point that we were even too full to go out despite Alessandros never ending energy! We enjoyed exchanging travel stories and learning about his town in Italy. It was also fun to get a taste of Italian driving while in the good ol' USA.

Alessandro was an excellent guest to have. He was very easy going and easy to hang out with. We had a couple of beers together and talked about traveling and he shared his impressions of California with me. I was able to ask him about his experiences with Couch Surfing and I found it very informative. I hope to see Alessandro again sometime, somewhere. Host him and you will have a good time!

A Prince, Gentleman and CS Etiquette Nazi!! Although most might believe that calling someone a nazi is a negative thing, I can definitely assure you that it is not! Alessandro defines couchsurfer and both he and Sara were the epitome of perfect houseguests!! From a splendid dinner and introduction to friends, exploration invitations, relaxed attitudes, broad smiles and excellent taste in music, they left every situation better for their involvement. I only hope that I was HALF the host that they were Guests! If you get the chance to meet these fine folks, jump at it!! I surely hope to run into them again in the future and wish them nothing but the best in everything.

Here is to seeing you and the 6 twins again in the future my friend!! Ciao!!!

Alessandro is the ringleader of the impressively close-knit CS community in Turin. We met while I was surfing with Stefano Villa and Ale dropped by with a few friends, a couple of CSers he was hosting, his wicked sense of humour, and limitless knowledge of Japanese cuisine and where to find it in Turin. Alessandro is upfront and not afraid to speak his mind, he is a funny guy and is very passionate about CSing and giving the people he meets in Turin a great experience in his city.

Alessandro was a fantastic host, very welcoming and kind. He is a witty and funny person. Made me smile and laugh many times. Has a wonderfully hospitable spirit. Great host!

I had a really great time with Alessandro in Torino. He has LOADS of energy and his jokes are very funny! He gives a good balance of advice but also allows his surfers freedom to do their own thing which is great! Grazie per tutti!! PS If you are in Torino you have to go to the Museum of Film - it is the best museum I have ever been to..

Alessandro is an intelligent and genuine individual who has a good sense of humor. He brought good vibes to our place in Palm Springs during his visit... he's active in the CS community, and he's a trustworthy friend. I recommend hosting Alessandro - you'll enjoy meeting him.

The word "positive" doesn't begin to describe my experience hosting the famous Dr. Winger, a.k.a, Alessandro and his lovely girlfriend Sarah.

After a LONG flight, I assumed that my dear guests would be wiped out -- my assumptions were wrong. Within a matter of seconds, Ale announced, "Patrizia, let's go out to that sushi place" and off we went (the man has an abundant supply of energy!). I couldn't have asked for a more perfect experience for Alessandro and Sarah ... not only was the sushi fabulous (really fresh), but George Clooney (and later Sasha Baron-Cohen) was seated at the table directly in front of us (ahhh, the view was amazing!)! Alessandro (and the lovely Sarah)is a burst of positive energy that will leave you feeling happy, revived and NOT wanting the visit to end. The most generous and considerate guest(s) ...... a host's dream come true!

Alessandro, you and Sarah will ALWAYS have a place to call home whenever you are in Los Angeles.

Baci e abbracci, Patrizia

Alessandro and Sara surfed my couch for one night and my only regret is they couldn't stay longer. He is a funny guy, and very friendly, maybe just a little wild and crazy, and definitely someone you want to hang out with.

I had the widest variety of food with this man and friends. From pasta at home to aperativo in the park, then sushi in the rain and finally lunch in the country with the parents who were the sweetest hosts of all!!

Alessandro is a good guy whith wicked sence of humor. He also makes a mean pasta that put me to sleep one evening. Never happened before...

Hope to meet you somwhere sometime, maybe I'll treat you the beer next time.

Alessandro & Sara stayed with me for 2 nights and I regret they didnt stay longer. We went out for a drink the first night but did really had the chance to hang out much afterwards. I was working and had a cold. Both are social, interesting, generous people. I felt very comfortable with them and for me it is always special to host people who are all dedicated to Couchsurfing! I would definately host them again! Hope to met you on another occassion. Take Care.

we enjoy a dinner togetherin copenhagen with good talking and laughing...hope we can meet again in Italy sometime

Alessandro is a very interesting, funny, energetic dude. He showed us the finer side of the northern Italian cuisine, it was awesome! And I was never ever bored during car rides ;-)

Alessandro hosted me and Rolando for two nights. It was fun driving around looking for open places to have dinner when it was late and had Ferre d'agosto on top of that. Thanks to him I know the difference between pizza and focaccia and tried the delicious San Simone. He is really helpful as well as Zara, without her help we would've wasted a lot of time tryingin to figure out how to get to the city. Thanks for everything! it was a pleasure to surf your couch!

Soon!

Alessandro is a helpful, wonderful host! He very kindly let me crash at his with hardly any notice and made a really big effort introducing me to his life, friends and the way things are done in Torino. I'm a bit of a space cadet at the best of times and he made sure I didn't end up lost and wandering around forlornly. We went to a pasta festival and was shown around the city complete with guided tour in many languages. Thanks for a good surf and all your help and time x :)

Well, I only have gratefulness words to Alessandro. I think that he is a very carismathic person (I think like his father), very patient guy (I mean with the loco in the bar, and maybe with me too!!). I must say sorry for not share the gym (I prefer to share the birra!). And a extra thanks to his girlfriend Sara (very nice girl, I think that fix perfect with Alessandro!), of course to the "Big familia" (father, mother (very patient too with my spaninglishtaliano) and grandma), and of course his friend Silvio (revolutionary guy!) that host me in his Home (where I'm writing this lines!)...

The good doctor hosted me for two nights and for two nights he kept me as his own. This was the very first time i couch surfed and it was definitely a very positive experience--and one of my best times in Italy. I got lucky finding Alessandro, he taught me a lot about CS and forgave many of my silly --allbeit endearing-- antics. This guy is a great host with personality to boot. Thanks for an awesome stay in Turino Alessandro, i really did spend my last few nights in Italy having an awesome time!

Alessandro was host of mine & my friend Hanna in Torino. We couldn't spend a lot of time togheter coz he's really hard-working & involved with CS, but possibility of stay in his flat was an amazing experience. I met there another CSers from whole Europe;) I think that he is really great person, funny & a little crazy but responsibile & trustworthy. And yes, it's a pity that we couldn't spent more time in Torino.
PS Hmm i'm more reflexive?;) it's truth,too short time spending togheter;)

First of all i have to thank Alessandro for making me realize the importance of a proper profile on CS. For opening his heart and door to two "nuts" and for beeing an amazing host with wonderful friends whose company we enjoyed a great deal. There is simply no point in describing Aless, you have to meet him in person then you'll know for sure what we mean. Thank you for giving us an amazing first CS experience, and we hope to see you again.
Much love
Allan & Ida

Alessandro has hosted me and my friend for one night in his nice flat in Torino. It was short time there but for sure very interesting experience with big CS family where you can meet many interesting guys! :) Alessandro was very good host for all of us. He invited me and my friend for an evening outside the city but we could not go there... :/ Alessandro and his girlfriend are helpful people, with Mirtillina I ve talked about my doubts connected with one CS user. She said me how to solve my problem. Thanks for help & very nice time! Hope we will keep a contact.

Dr. Winger (Alessandro) is a wonderful guy!!! I had an incredible experience staying with him in Torino and wished I could have visited with him longer. He was extremely friendly and very helpful... Dr. Winger is also a lot of fun... it was so fun doubling him on his bike... I was laughing so hard that I almost couldn't peddle. This CS experience will be hard to beat! It was also a pleasure meeting many other CS'ers with Dr. Winger in Torino...! Thanks so much!

would you trust a crazy doctor who heal all diseases with the "hospitality therapy??!".. if his name is alessandro, yes, you can fully trust and have fun with him!!he's generous and genuine in the way he live and talk!

Litle misunderstanding on my arrive date,he said me that he wasn't on Turino so i said him : "i'm sure to give you the good date ! Do you know somebody can help me ?" and he answered me :" don't worry i will never left an couchsurfer sleep on the nature". So i met some other couchsurfers it was a very good evening and the day after i met Alessandro, it was very too short in one nigth to speak with him because he's a very interesting guy ( and sarah and Paolo) and i like one day to meet him again

I met Alessandro e Mirtillina in my first CS Experience, very nice person in the perfect cs spirit. Thanks for all!

It's great to meet someone intelligent to talk to, who has good taste for movies and music. Too bad I came during the week and we haven't spent a lot of time together. But you know, the quality of the time is more important than the quantity. Not to mention his girlfriend's good company (don't be jealous, buddy). You know you and she are more than welcome in Brazil! I hope you find the same trust and hospitality you give your guests on your trips. Cheers!

Even if you're not into spirituality, naturality and boring rock, you will be fine with him, because he's very open minded. Personally I'm a technology-freak and we still enjoyed each other.

Alessandro was my first CS experience and a really good one, he did so many things to me, and make me feel really good and comfortable at his place. For me he is professional couchsurfer! And a kind of model to me!
Thank you so much for all!
I would have like to have more time to enjoy his heavy italian jokes! Surely the next time i'll come to Torino!

Alessandro was a terrific host, very welcoming and hospitable and accommodating! He also seems like a fun and funny guy. It's too bad we couldn't stay longer and get to know you better. Thanks for everything!

Alessandro hosted me two nights for my first travel in Torino. Thanks for that, it helped me a lot. i survived to Sandro and will be back soon in Torino !

Alessandro RockS! He was so generous and an incredible host! I loved his humor! I was laughing so hard that I couldn't breathe at times! He has a Big Heart and I hope we connect when he comes to CA.!

Couchsurfing with Alessandro was awesome. We didn't get to hang out as much as I would have liked but he was so funny, nice and welcoming. I hope we meet again!

He's a nice guy and I've learned from him many things about CS. I've hosted him and he has hosted me. In both cases it was a very good experience. Alessandro is very kind, he organized a pizza with his friends and we talked about movies, music and travels until late at night.

I met Allesandro as he was visiting my housemate Massimo for a few days. He is a really interesting and funny person and it was cool to hang out and have some lunchtime beers in the 'Blob Shop'!I look forward to meeting again somewhere as i'm sure we will, all the best!

ooooooooohhh thanksssss for your presence in Bolognaaaaa!!!! Alessandro is cooooool person and fantastic ambassador of LIFEEEE!!!! Salutos bolognues

he was our first couchsurfing host and was amazing; super accomodating, funny, and knowledgable about turin. he offered to let us stay another night without us even having to ask, which of course we accepted. his girlfriend and friends were also extremely welcoming; all were just very cool, entertaining people.

If you have health problems, or you need somebody that prepare a great pizza, Alessandro is always the right person! Really difficult to find somebody (a man,in particular!!!) able to do so different things in the same moment. Alex see you next meeting, I will perform also with jam!

......................

Allesandro was really fun to talk with in the groups and hosted me in turin. Hag a great time but the trip was cut short due to flooding. a great guy.

A very pleasant, kind, patient and good guy. He hosted me with a common friend, even if he didn't know me. A very positive acquaintance.

Hyper active...I'm sure it's hard to him watching his hands..during meeting he was always involved in some kind of activity..cook..organize..never stop!
Thumb well up!

Beatiful experience! Alessandro is a very ambassador! he take care of me and my gf and my friends. He's very open and funny. I hope to meet him and his gf again, everywhere. their or my house. everytime welcome! Ciao!

Alessandro did his best to make my first CS experience as a guest really memorable. He is very active, always on the move (when he is not playing videogames, an activity he takes very seriously :P): he will involve you in all that he does and introduce his many CS friends to you. I particularly appreciated the “fritto misto” night: we got a plate full of all sorts of fried food, including vegetables, meat, brain and even an “amaretto” biscuit… a wonderful and unforgettable gourmet experience!!!

I met him while my stay in Torino. He is an extremely nice and positive guy!

He's very funny. It's a pleasure to spend the evening with him!

I met him during a CS dinner: Ale is extremely talkative but I think he is a good person you can trust in. Hope to meet you soon!

Ale is a person who is very interesting to be around. There's always something going on when he's there. There's always some pun to be made, some joke to be cracked. I cannot express enough how helpful he was during my stay, and I am very grateful. People like him make the world a much more colorful place to live in.

now that i know him better, i could say that " a smia propi 'n balengu,ma l'è 'n brau fio ". Hope to return in Turin to see him soon (even cos we have some wii games to play all toghether and a chocolate-chupito to gobble up ;P)

"DR.W" alias "Alessandro" alias "Alexander the Terrible" (when he got angry for some OT post in the groups)!
I hosted him in Milano some months ago while i was in Bratislava. THAT'S MEAN:
1) he is really trustworthy
2) I am really crazy to leave him my home's keys
anyway when i was back at home all was perfect (but, i think, tks to Mirtillina ;-) )
Then i met Alex in some meetings in Milano and i can say that i really like him. He is really helpfull with all people and it is really interesting to chat with him not only about CS.

I really would love to have a trip with him. Who knows.. maybe on day..

Such a great sense of humor coupled with a big heart make knowing Alessandro very easy. I wish we had more time to chat, but being as popular as he is, its difficult to find time when someone isn't trying to talk with him! Thanks for making me feel so welcome!

Yes! Yes! Yes! I know its late!!!
Doc - it was great meeting you with Stefano - first in a kebab place and then another night at a restaurant for dinner - you have a fabulous wit and a zany sense of humour - you are the man of torino - oh i do hope our paths cross again!!
ps just a phone call from Doc and i had couch in genova
pps and i have to add the spelling is awkward -
Doc, thanks again, you are the best!!!!

Everywhere-guy.
I think the Alessandro resumes the real spirit of CS.

Alessandro was extremely generous & a great host! Eating dinner with him and other fellow couch surfers from the area around Turin, Italy was definitely an experience!! Very knowledgeable, funny and entertaining guy! I definitely appreciated his hospitality and look forward to hopefully one day seeing him again!

Everytime is a pleasure to see Alessandro and his girlfriend. she would like that we adopt him but we prefer to take him in small doses. He's ironic and always ready for coming here for have fun. See u next Milan-party or everywhere.

Hey buddy! too strange speak english with u! well, Alessandro is a sparkling guy who definitely belive in his CS mission, he is cute and smart and i loved meet up with him!

I joined my friend K-Reine in Torino to met Alessandro! And as she told me, he's really a nice and funny guy, a pleasure to talk to! I enjoyed the lovely night we spent in the pizzeria talking in french/german/english/italian and with hands of course! and then "le Bourreau bourré" where we had our micro fight about wine! Hope we'll see you with Sara in Switzerland to tast our good wines ;-) Thanks for your hospitality and kindness!
Take care, xxx
