关于我

Born in Italy, moved to the States as a kid, then after college to Rio de Janeiro for almost 4 years. I now have family and/or friends in Italy, the States and Brazil. I just finished a masters at conservatory (classical guitar). I like cooking, going for walks, having the occasional drink...

I'm a music teacher at a conservatory in Leuven.

I'm always learning something new on the side, some of these passing interests have turned out to become important! That's how I started speaking French and Portuguese, got interested and eventually travelled to Brazil. I suppose all decisions are made in a moment. Once on a lark I participated in the grape harvest and discovered that I really like it so now I try to do it every year, if I can.

I love having side activities and in the past I've worked in an acting troupe, as a translator/interpreter, art school model, sound man, and of course in all sorts of bands and music groups.

I'm also interested in vegetarian/vegan cooking, but will also eat meat if it's going to be something special.

Friends laugh at me because I sometimes answer questions days after they've been asked. It's just that I've thought about our conversation and have something new to add :p

I'm not embarrassed to speak my mind and I'm often genuinely curious about new people I meet. If you are similar we will be fast pals. Some of the best friendships I've made over the years (and still keep) are from people passing through town for short periods.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

When you go to far away places it's nice to have a friend to show you around. I live in Manarola and love to show people my hometown. Sometimes I feel that travelers appreciate the Cinque Terre in a way we locals sometimes don't. I like to share the fresh view of Manarola outsiders have.

In my mind travel and tourism are two different things; Tourism can be a temporary escape from your regular life to relax, while travel forces you to think about your life at home in new ways... The lines can be blurry sometimes, though... I love sharing stories and hearing others' perspectives on the the things they've seen and done.

I've never had a bad experience with CS, but then again I try my best to ignore or decline requests from people that are only interested in me for a free couch!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've always had friends willing to have me over their house if I pass through town. Living in Manarola my couch has always been available if a friend misses the last train to go home or friends from the past come to visit. but my first experiences with this site were in 2010 when I lived in Rio de Janeiro.

At the time I had a beautiful hill-top apartment all to myself so I hosted several travelers. My couch was occupied for almost 2 whole months! I've since had repeat guests and pinky promises (something I take VERY seriously) of future visits.

兴趣

Hiking, the perfect cup of tea, consecutive green lights, compost piles, those first and fourth cups of coffee everyday, fresh crusty bread, singing out of tune (getting better, though), slicing fruit in mid-air, etc.

音乐、电影和书籍

Classical music, new/20th century music, chorinho, jazz, traditional music from Brazil and Latin America

Some movies I like:
2001: a Space Odyssey, The Big Lebowski, Amelie, Ladri di Biciclette, so many more...

I like reading though don't have as much time for it as I used to :( these days my shelf is mostly music books for uni.

Good memories as a kid reading Pinocchio, The Baron of Munchausen, Alice in Wonderland, Roald Dahl, Shel Silverstein, Asterix, Mafalda, Tintin, Le Petit Nicolas, Le Petit Prince, and of course Calvin and Hobbes.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Once on a hiking trip my group wandered into bee territory. The hive swarmed and attacked us--mostly me, as my "friends" had already run away. It wasn't so funny at the time, but it later became a funny story. (Remember that time we were attacked by bees?)

教,学,和分享

In the unlikely event of a swarm of bees attacking you, remember that most bee species can only fly up to 15 mph, and though most people can sprint at about the same speed, we can, in fact, run faster during extraordinary circumstances-- such as a bee attack. Make a bee line (pun INTENDED) away from the hive and you will probably escape without many stings.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I'm a classical guitarist so I love playing for friends.

Now that the nice weather is back it's fun to go for walks, especially to the historic center and on the seaside.
