I'm Miro from Italy! I’m the kind of person who books a one-way ticket, opens Google Maps, and thinks, “We’ll figure it out.” So far, it’s working surprisingly well. I’m friendly, extroverted, and genuinely curious about people. I love conversations that start with “So what do you do?” and somehow end three hours later discussing history, cultural differences, or why every country thinks they have the best bread. I work in Data Science and AI, which basically means I spend a lot of time teaching machines to think while I’m still trying to understand humans. Outside of that, I’m currently backpacking across many countries: Turkey, Oman, Sri Lanka, and eventually Southeast Asia. I travel the same way I live: open-minded, adaptable, and slightly allergic to rigid plans. I’m Italian, which means two things: I like all kind of food, and I cook fairly well (some say) . During the summer I manage a mountain hut in the Alps with some friends, and I’m the cook there, so yes, I can promise real pasta, not the tragic tourist version. Cooking for people is one of my favorite ways to connect. I also volunteer for an Italian NGO called Karibujua, which operates in Kenyan schools. It’s something I care deeply about, and it constantly reminds me how much you can learn just by listening and showing up. I love talking about history, culture, politics (in a respectful way), traditions, and the small things that make a place unique. I’m open-minded, I enjoy different perspectives, and I’m always more interested in understanding than judging. Random facts: -I will always try local food. -I’m equally comfortable in a deep philosophical discussion or laughing about something completely stupid. -I probably have too many things I want to try or hobbies I already do -I believe the best connections happen when you stop trying to impress and just stay curious. -I’m not traveling to collect countries. I’m traveling to collect perspectives.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing
I’m here because I don’t just want to see places, I want to understand them. For me, traveling is not about ticking landmarks off a list. It’s about conversations in kitchens, random tea breaks, stories about how life really works in a place. The kind of things you don’t find in guidebooks. Couchsurfing feels like the most honest way to experience a country. You get perspectives instead of performances. Real routines instead of curated attractions. I’m currently backpacking long-term: Turkey, then Oman, Sri Lanka, and Southeast Asia. and what excites me most isn’t the famous spots, but the chance to connect with people who actually live there. I love hearing how you see your city, what you’re proud of, what annoys you, what makes it special. I’m friendly, social, and genuinely curious. I don’t expect to be entertained, I’m independent and happy exploring on my own, but I deeply value shared meals, late-night conversations, cultural exchange, and learning from each other. I also believe that sharing food and culture is one of the fastest ways to become friends. In short: I’m here for connection, perspective, and the kind of experiences that don’t fit into an Instagram story but stay with you for years.
Lo que puedo ofrecer a los hosts
First of all: good energy. I’m friendly, extroverted, and very comfortable around new people. I genuinely enjoy connecting, not just coexisting in the same space. Some say I'm a good cook, so if you host me I’m always happy to cook a full dinner and share recipes (no cream in carbonara, I promise). I bring stories: from managing a mountain hut at high altitude, from volunteering with an Italian NGO working in Kenyan schools, traveling on the road with a home made Van and from backpacking across different cultures. I love conversations about history, culture, different worldviews, and how people approach life in different parts of the world. I’m independent and respectful. I don’t need to be entertained, I’m clean and organized, and I adapt easily to your rhythm and house rules. If you’re busy, I’ll explore. If you feel like talking, I’m in. If you prefer quiet, that’s fine too. I can also offer curiosity. I’ll actually listen when you talk about your city. I’ll want to understand how things work there. I won’t treat your home like a free hotel. I treat it like a shared human experience. And if nothing else, I can definitely offer properly cooked pasta and a very solid conversation.
