I’m Davide, born and raised in the province of Bergamo in Italy although I have lived in Dublin (Ireland) for quite some time. I practised competitive cycling for 13 years and now after not having touched the bike for over fifteen years, I decided to embark on a long journey across the Americas: from Alaska to Patagonia.
UPDATE: I decided to continue the trip beyond Patagonia and cross all the continents on a round the world adventure. I've done: Americas, Africa. and Europe. I pedalled for over 96,000 Km and counting across 64 countries.

Currently crossing Middle East.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

It's a long adventure and couchsurfing is definitely a nice break from wild camping as well it's a refreshing chance to meet locals as it's only me and my bike most of the time!

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Starting this trip from Deadhorse, Prudhoe Bay in the middle of August was pretty amazing, if I can say so myself :)

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I can teach you how to make a great risotto.

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

I can cook Italian meals and I can tell you some good stories from my trip like that time I come face to face to a grizzly or this one time when a black bear ripped my front panniers and trashed my tent or that other time that a truck reversed into me or when I was held at gunpoint. Clearly there's plenty to choose from…
