I'm a very dinamic person, busy with different stuff, very active into the international life of my city. I had a lot of experience as "tutor" of the Erasmus/Foreigb people in Palermo and I organize parties, events and tours in my city and around Sicily. I'm really pleased to be a city's ambassador for Palermo, because I love my city and I like working to make it better! :-) I'm very easy going, communicative, outgoing and friendly. I'm extrovert and hearty and I love hanging out with people from abroad. I enjoy being in good company and I try to be always delighted about my life. I'm always peaceful and I hardly get angry. I try to be always hospitable and never unkind! My main passions: traveling, learning languages, challenging myself, playing guitar, internet, building websites and doing sport (my favourites football and tennis)! I can offer you a nice journey in my city, a very central location, a comfortable bed, getting to know local and international people living in Palermo. I enjoy meeting all kind of people, the difference is very important to grow up as a human being, so don't hesitate to contact me even though you think you are a different person ;-) I always try to reply to my requests even when I'm really busy, so you can write me whatever and whenever you want, even asking me simple advice about my city. Don't miss the opportunity to visit one of the coolest places in the world...SICILY!!! PHILOSOPHY I try to enjoy every moment of my life and my youth!
