I am travelling right now so can't host, sorry folks.

Italian traveller/researcher/pseudomusician, currently living and working in Singapore for a 1-year stop during my travel in Asia

CURRENT MISSION

travel far, with the mind and with the body, and eventually come back richer inside and poorer outside.
Just another Hero's Journey myth.

ABOUT ME

I love and believe in simple things in life, such as talking and laughing with a stranger, a warm cup of coffee, the notes of a musical instrument, a hug from a friend. Happiness? I don't know, maybe is just learning a new thing everyday. I try to be open-minded as much as I can towards everything, sometimes I am successful, sometimes not, and I love to travel by hitchhiking, camping in the middle of nowhere, playing music and singing (guitar, harmonica, armenian duduk), scuba diving, discussing serious stuff, don't take serious stuff too seriously. To make a living I work as researcher in renewable energy (hydrogen, geothermal energy).

PHILOSOPHY

...yes, I like it.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I stay in my house I like to host people from any part of the world and get to learn something from them. When I am travelling, I look for nice people of any sex, gender, religion who want to share some time and thoughts with me ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Positive so far, surfing on couches is the best way to enjoy the places from the inner core, skipping the tourist tracks. It gives you the opportunity to meet the locals, see their houses and their tradition, and eat the food! And while hosting someone, it is a real pleasure to talk about the different ways of thinking and show the nice places in the city, making the people love their experience, and feel a bit like you're travelling.

With my housemates in Italy I hosted people from Chile, Russia, Polonia, Australia, France etc... and I surfed in the house of people in Netherlands, Croatia, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan and India. All of them were very good experiences.
