I work in administration for an international construction company — but outside office hours, I'm a curious traveler, passionate about cultures, people, and stories.
I'm Italian/Spaniard, currently based in Paris, always looking for the next hike, film screening, or unexpected conversation.

I love discovering new cities and natural spots, especially if they involve a beach, a trail, or a sauna. I enjoy art, photography, philosophy, and moments of both silence and connection. I'm into wellness, sports, and naturism.
I don't smoke.

Music, Movies, and Books

love long hikes in nature, getting lost in historical cities, admiring classical art in quiet museums, and relaxing in a good sauna after a full day.
I’m passionate about cinema that makes you feel something — from indie gems to raw documentaries.
Music is always present in my life, whether it’s a techno set, opera, or traditional folk like fado.
I enjoy taking photos, deep conversations, and learning about how people live and think.
I’m also interested in wellness, psychology, personal development, Mediterranean food, and the freedom of naturism — especially at the beach.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was in Málaga during the massive blackout in Spain in April 2025 — walking through a silent city lit only by candles, sharing stories with strangers in the dark, and watching the stars over the Mediterranean like never before.
A surreal, beautiful moment of unexpected connection and calm.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach:
I can teach you some basic Italian or French or Spanish, show you how to cook a real pasta dish (yes, I’m picky about it), and share what it’s like to work in international construction projects.
I can also explain a bit about how public systems and bureaucracy work in different European countries — it sounds boring, but it can be fascinating!

Learn:
I’m very curious about how people live, think, and organize their societies — I love learning about politics, social systems, and cultural habits.
Also open to learning new languages, recipes, and local secrets.

Share:
Food, playlists, travel stories, personal reflections, or just a simple walk through your favorite part of the city.
If you're into talking about the world, I’m always up for a good political or philosophical conversation too.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Respect, a good chat, an Italian meal, and stories from traveling or working across Europe.
I’m happy to share what I know about Paris or how to survive French bureaucracy ;)
