Holaaa Couchsurfing friendz! Quick bio fyi - Italian born and raised, I left the litle village in Northern Italy where I grew up as a 19yo, and spent my twenties living abroad in London and San Diego, California until I landed back on Italian soil and 5 years ago I’ve settled down in the magical island of Sicily! I’m a lover of all things green, fresh food, good stretches, anything adventurous, the unknown, anything mind-blowing, the ordinary, never not going with the flow ✨

CURRENT MISSION viaggiare e divertirmi e conoscere nuove persone e nuove lingue ABOUT ME Sono una persona seria, laboriosa, divertente, simpatica, ospitale. Amo viaggiare, conoscere altri luoghi e culture, far conoscere anche la mia terra ai miei amici. PHILOSOPHY Perchè la vita è una e credo che bisogna viverla fino in fondo...

*** Hi there CS travelers! I'm currently on the road, so I'm not available to host or meet up. However feel free to drop me a line if you need suggestions or recommendations. I'll try and help you from a distance 🤗 *** CURRENT MISSION Travelling, learning, discovering and empowering! After seven years of working a 9 to 5 job, I've quit to spend some time dedicating myself to my (too many 😅) interests and passions. Why waiting for retirement? The place is here and the time is now! ABOUT ME I was born and raised in Palermo, pretty much spot on in the middle of the Mediterranean sea. Before leaving it when I was 23, this amazing city had filled me up with dynamism, multiculturalism, curiosity, beauty and a taste for seriously good food. I started traveling with my family since I was too young to even remember, and I have never stopped doing so. I try to make the most out of every trip, and prefer to go somewhere I've never been before. I'm very skeptical when I hear someone saying about a place that "there is nothing to see". I'm a firm believer there's beauty and interesting stuff to discover everywhere, it's up to us to see it.

Please, read my profile description, above all if you are sending me a CS request. My place is not a hostel. Also, ask for not more than 2 days please. At the moment I'morganising the festival Handstand Extravaganza Convention 2025: https://handstandconvention.com/ What's the relationship you have with yourself? With your body? With your talkative mind? What makes you curious? Creative? Esplorative? Out of the crowd? What's the impact of expectations in your life? The real risk is to state oneself. Living in a world which leads us to be afraid of expressing, to be scared of judgement, to feel wrong when we are alone, to be afraid of failing, is very challenging. And I find myself into a path of questioning what feels good to me and in me. And I've realised how difficult it is to be faithful to the deepest true self. You know why? Because the most difficult and hardest thing is to reach that feeling which lies in the depth of your real self, under unecessary and diruptive layers. Do you ever wonder what is it "normal"? And also how many realities do you think exist? Is my reality the "correct" one? And is it better than yours? ...make some steps back and let's start to see the big picture... One of my biggest passions is the art of andbalance. Which I see to be not only a physical and aesthetic expression of beauty and elegance, but it's lots of a mindful process of knowing yourself, being with yourself and grounding (on your hands :P ). It takes a long time to master this skill and you spend so much time with yourself, facing so many emotions, including frustration, sadness, hunger, but also joy, happiness, satisfaction. The handstand journey has heaps of ups and downs and it's a great teacher itself. Sometimes we forget to enjoy the beauty of any single step which makes the journey towards our goal. I teach handstands and help my students to be more aware of their body and to face their own fears. I love intimacy. That intimacy that brings two people to connect in depth, to create a connection of trust and authentic relationship, whatever it be. I'm incredibly scared, but extremely attracted, by the unknown. Because opening the doors to the unknown is the only way to allow the new to get in. I know... it's scary, and I'm still trying to push myself out there. When I was hitchhiking in Europe I have decided to have a faith that I always want to bring with me: "The right lift will always arrive".

I like to enjoy life and share great moments with people. Instagram: nico_corso
