CURRENT MISSION Teaching kids ABOUT ME I like so much to talk with people, and listen, so I can learn new stuff. I love to improvise, in theater, dance, and generally in life. It's a lot of fun and actually my main way to be. I read a lot, or try to, and I love to be in the nature. PHILOSOPHY Live, laugh, love. Especially Laugh, above all. And I'm buddhist.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Lots of friends told me that CS is cool and I tried and found out actually it is, it afforded me to meet amazing people and have lots of great travel experiences. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I have hosted a friend in Bologna last year, but my real experience started in november 2012 with a round trip in New England. My first couch, Cape Cod. So, so cool! Since that moment, I always learned and discovered something amazing. I've been in Maine and New Hampshire, then during the winter break around California and Nevada. I'm so happy about those experiences so I'm talking to everybody about CS.
Music, Movies, and Books
The Blues Brothers! That's my favourite. I feel like I am son of the Blues, it's my dad. But Ska is my mom. I played trumpet for a while. I like almost every kind of music, but if there's a trumpet is better. Neil Gaiman is my favorite writer, and Italo Calvino, Andrea Pinketts, Sepulveda, I don't know... I love to read.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Meatballs ;)
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach how to say silly things, that's for sure.. Italian pasta, and cooking in general, I love cooking. I like to talk about Buddhism. Obviously I can teach Italian, and I love to discuss about my culture. And talking/sharing about teaching. That's cool.
What I Can Share With Hosts
Food and beer, of course. And laughter, I hope.
My Interests
I've been playing improvisational theater since 2003 and I keep going, then I discovered dance too... I love to dance. Especially contact improvisation. It just makes me happy. I'm also very interested in education and culture, sharing opinions, working around the world, learn how to teach better, and meeting lot of people. Sometimes I draw, or write, or I don't know.
