About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Travel as much as possible, we have only one life!
ABOUT ME
I'm an italian guy and i live in a town near Lecce ( a beautiful capital of the baroque, it is called "Florence of the southern Italy", with a great sea)
Here the ospitality is one of our characteristic.
I'm open mind, friendly and i like to know different cultures
UPDATE 2025
Now i am already here from more than 10 years. i can say CS changed my life. I hosted (and was hosted by) lot of people and I met wonderful people.
This is for sure a beautiful community, It helped me to see the world and to appreciate more my place, so as host I like to help traveller, i have a debt with CS.
Feel free to ask me any advices about my place, if you need accomodation send me a request (obliviosly in the spirit of CS, i don t like to host people as in b&b) i do not ask secret key in the request and I am not so egocentrico to ask personal request, I will understand if It will be a copy and paste (but anyway Is good to read the profile). If it will be possible I'll be happy to help you.
If I have time, I'll be available to show you the seaside close my home or more in general my area, and to talk about local traditions, food and everything.
I am also happy to talk about trips and your country, i like to talk about mine and to listen yours trips, maybe in front of a glass of local wine.
PHILOSOPHY
Travel is like knowledge the more you see the more you know you haven't seen.
I am atheist and antifascist. In my house any religion and any culture are welcome, no one is better than other, and I appreciate comparison and discussion, if based on respect.
REMEMBER TO BE FREE!
