ABOUT ME
33, Italian, traveler, zen student, wood carpenter, voracious reader, Tesla owner, stock market follower, soon to be Dad !!
FOR SURFERS:
Write down your request and check out my profile. The cooler you write the happier i ll be.
I always leave references on Cs, if u r passing by at my place do that too, if you won't, I ll survive too, but it s not nice from guests)
If i m free I ll show you around and get to spend time together, if I can host you but I'm busy I ll ask you if just a place to sleep is enough and to hand yourself after I explained you the essentials.
We like being flexible and open minded, risk takers and friendly.
FOR SURFERS AND HOSTS: Few lines about me down here :)
Amatorial marathon runner, polite dude,. my two biggest passions are travelling and enlarging my knowledge as much as possible. I wanna do the best out of them before passing away (hopefully in old age).
Now I am enterpreneur.
When I am in Italy I live in the seaside city of Rimini with my girlfriend Chiara. She is a full energy woman who loves hiking, sailing, architecture, space X and pug dogs.
I ve been in almost all european coutries, but outside Europe i had my best trips, in Senegal and Kenya, and Russia, Mongolia, China, Thailand, Malesya, Singapore and Emirates Arab.
PHILOSOPHY
"no man can have more than his hearth can enjoy"
i do not believe in God as the cristhian way, but I keep my own idea that we received life as a gift we have to take care of.
being happy and enlarging our knowlegde is to me a personal holy task we all should take care of.
i like the acient greek philosophy and the Tao te ching philosophy of Lao Tzu.
Buddism taugths are also great and japanese Hagakure too.
personally I am against materialism, so I love all my few traveling stuff and clothes, but of course I m not the Buddha guy who left behind himself every commodity!
I love my Tesla car and I admire entrepreneurs and free spirits !
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I would like to participate to the couchsurfing to stay in contact with persons who live in the country i visit and spend time with them. I m talkative and independent.
i think that cs is one of the greatest way to get in touch with people, also because put you directly in the daily file of cities, and in its people.
Some person i met on the way left me really much more than memories, and trough them i learnt a lot of things. Did not surprise that one of my best friend in Finland is a dude who hosted me on CS (many common iterests!)
I don't care if u gay vegan lesbian Geova witness or the fuck society names you. If u ok, u are :) I truly value differences
But then again, if you r a DickHead you simply are as individual, despite every society-driven label!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have enjoined my first couch surfing almost 10 years ago, with great experiences and I ve met interesting persons.
Interests
Travelling is my biggest passion, i m a good student too, but what pushes me hard for exams is the free time i can have after them, that s why when i can i m always on the track somewhere else than Italy (a country that anyway i know and love a lot).
reading books is a loved activity of mine, literature art and history are a good entertaiment when i m abroad, or even always, depends, so many things i learnt from there! so I can spend one or two hours daily on Youtube watching BBC documentaries about every topic i get interested at (quite a lot, I m tremendously curious of everything)
running is a passion of mine too.
i do jogging,
loving and smiling ... i think i m a really energetic and active being, and i try to learn all that i can from the majority of the person i met even in the daily life.
sometimes daily life gets amazing if u know how to turn it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
i ve raced 3 marathons
i cycled for 1200km from the south of finland, Turku, to lapland, over Rovaniemi! with a bike, a tent, a sleeping bag and two bags. I get back with a finnish truckdriver within a 24 ride trough the all finland (from north to south)
25 days lived to the fullest, knocking on people s door to fill the can of water or when not finding any CS simply asking to strangers in the Finnish countryside the permission to camp in their garden... at least, a great voyage that changed completely my idea of human relationships
I had a Road trip in Romania in the winter of 2015, hitchinkg 22 degrees below the zero all around the freezing Transilvania covered by snow. AMAZING. Best travel experience Ever
I also worked 3 winters above the arctic circle as tour guide with snowmobiles, firecamping and ice fishing.
I speak some decent Finnish too
Teach, Learn, Share
well, I am open to everything you might tell me, but since couchsurfing is a great way to communicate directly with people of different countries I d learn something from CS people, and share the thing they might like of me if there's any (as I hope :P )
