About Me

A cook? A guitarist? An actor? A researcher? A tango dancer? A urban biker? A dreamer? 🚴🏼‍♂️🦹👨🏽‍💻

Maybe I'm just a traveller looking for experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Discover, learn, travel. 🦸🏿‍♀️

Interests

An artist by training, a scholar by trade, a traveler by default. Try to blend my passions to make it my job and my job to pursue my passions. 👨🏽‍🏫👨🏽‍🎤

Currently working in Naples🇮🇹 & Wenzhou🇨🇳.

Music, Movies, and Books

Having been a rock guitar hero in my youth, I appreciate hard rock, blues, ethnic music, as well as songwriting, cool jazz, tango, film music (Morricone!) and opera. Prog addicted! Ask me the bands. 🤘🕺🎸

Technical essays, poetry, classical literature. In some past lives I may have been Ernest Hemingway's mate.🐡🛶🍻

Kubrick, Hitchcock, Allen, Leone, Miyazaki and much more! 🎬

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Getting lost in the Sahara desert, yoga modelling in an Asian forest, hitchhiking Latin America, sailing the Mediterranean, walking in the dark on a cliff in the Scottish Highlands, snorkeling the Taiwanese coral reef, night snow-hiking the Vesuvius volcano, discovering new cultures. 🧝👽

Teach, Learn, Share

I may host in Wenzhou (usually Sep/Dec & Mar/Jun), Naples (Jul/Aug & Jan/Feb) & Isle of Ischia (Jul) - select your tour, dates may vary. 😌

I may be available for free sailing or kayaking of the Bay of Naples. 🌊 🛶
