PLEASE NOTE:
1) I live in 14 square meters, you can sleep on a wooden platform, on your mattress but in the same space where I also sleep (and often also my little dog Trudy). In the house / kitchen are not allowed animal products, nor smoke. That said, the garden is beautiful and so is the sea nearby, so ... you are welcome!

2. I'm quite busy with my artivism, traveling up and down (and hoping to be your guest ;) ) but I would love to host you when I'm at home. I would love to host other artists and artivists, photographers, performers, animal rights activists, in short people with whom to share common passions and maybe co-create something together!

3. It's important for you as a "guest" to read all my profile, so please when you will send me your request be sure to write the magic word hidden somewhere in the profile ;)

4. I have few references here on CS but I have hosted so many people through a similar social platform that I created 10 years ago in Sardinia.

I am 56 years old guy from Tuscany, Italy. I am an author and a theatre teacher, but most of all I am a vegan queer art-ivist. I am on a "permanent tour" with my "Project X", always looking for new artistic medium and like-minded people to connect with. If you would like to know more about my art-ivism, please visit www.intheblink.org or just Google my name...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've written books about Gift Economy and I do believe that Couchsurfing is a beautiful example of this kind of sharing culture. I had wonderful encounters both as a guest and as a host.

Interests

I really enjoy living into the wilderness and I'm in love with the sea. My dream? Rowing the Oceans! I live a minimalist lifestyle, always "on the road" in order to do my artivism where is needed.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

40,000 tattoos on my body, Is it incredible indeed?

Teach, Learn, Share

I am always willing to learn new artistic medium and to collaborate with photographers and other artists/artivists.
And I am ready to share and teach my artivism and, if there may be some interest, also to organize performance and vegan artivism event.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would be pleased to teach you Boal's theatre, to cook for you some vegan meals following my Grandma's recipes and to share with you my books and my personal journey (from an informal chat to... a conference!).
