Hi, I’m Alberto, 30 years old, born and raised in Italy. I’ve been lucky enough to travel quite a bit, and I always try to experience places through the eyes of locals rather than as a tourist. Meeting people, sharing stories, and discovering small everyday details of a culture are what make a trip special to me. I live in the countryside, surrounded by nature and an army of cats (I’ve lost count — and they probably run the place). I love gardening, growing vegetables, doing DIY projects, and finding creative solutions with whatever tools are at hand. I also volunteer with a local association that cleans and revitalises urban spaces. Music is a big part of my life — I organise small concerts in unusual locations, working with both local and international artists. Recently, I joined Rust2Dakar, a charity rally where, together with about 20 other teams, we drove from Italy to Guinea-Bissau and donated our cars to the NGO Tavolo 8 for their cooperation projects in West Africa. I’m curious, friendly, and easy-going. Whether we’re cooking together, sharing music, exploring your city, or just having a good conversation over a glass of wine, I’m all in. •••Instagram : albyback3
