Hello world! I'm Angelo, I am glad to be here on Couchsurfing! I am a social, dynamic, easy-going man eager to connect with other witty humans. ๐ฎ๐น ๐ฌ๐ง ๐ฏ๐ตI was born in Sicily but I lived for different years in London and 1 year in Tokyo. I am a language coach, and I have an online business through which I help students studying abroad (mostly in Japan). At the moment I am back in Palermo, my hometown where I live with my cats Ginger and Wasabi, if you happen to visit feel free to message me! I can show you around if work isn't keeping me too busy, or we can definitely grab a beer or an ice cream (preferably the latter, I am always looking for excuses to have another nice gelato). I am the founder of a local International Community called "Palermo International" (around 400 members on WhatsApp). We have been organising events with expats in Palermo for the last 4 years, with friends we also organise excursions and trips so if I host you be ready to get invited to some nice international and social events! I also have a podcast about our international community ("Palermo International" on Spotify)! I am also a rapper and I usually perform at the Jam sessions/open mic events I organise every Friday night! Even though I am quite sociable, I actually enjoy good quiet conversations and taking walks in nature. Feel free to ask for info about anything I can help you with ๐ P.S. I am aware that unfortunately, CouchSurfing in Palermo could be quite creepy for some women. If you are a woman, even if you do not want to stay at my place I can try to put you in touch with some women who can host you and who are not on Couch Surfing (we have a good community of more than 300 expats). Just drop me a message for more info. I'd prefer not to host couples IG: angeloikigai IG: palermointernational

Perchรฉ sono su Couchsurfing
I am here to have a good time meeting new wonderful people and sharing knowledge or useful information. Your experience in Palermo could be even better when you know someone knowledgeable and reliable.
Musica, film e libri
๐ง Hip Hop classics and black music. ๐ง Drum'n'bass ๐งMusic from the 90s and many other genres that have a nice mood. ๐ "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck" - Mark Manson ๐ "Originals" - Adam Grant ๐"Sapiens - A brief history of humankind" - Yuval Noah Harari ๐ฝ๏ธ I don't watch many movies but The Matrix Trilogy, "Arrival", "The Last Samurai" and the whole "Rocky/Creed" saga are among my favourites. ๐ฅ๏ธI prefer TV series: Suits, Vikings, Lucifer, La casa de Papel, Game of thrones etc I also happen to watch anime sometimes.
Una cosa straordinaria che ho fatto
I studied and lived in Tokyo for 8 months, moving to Japan straight away without having visited it before. Cultural shock over 9000! I went to Japan looking for answers and peace, I found just more questions and eventually got what I was looking for here in Italy.
Insegna, Impara, Condividi
English, Italian, some Japanese
Cosa posso offrire agli host
A cosy atmosphere in a quiet area in Palermo. On Tuesday, Friday and Sunday we can go to International events with other expats/foreigners living or visiting Palermo. I can cook pasta and prepare Italian coffee. If you are into hiking and working out we can do that together.
