About Me

PHILOSOPHY
My life philosophy is summed up in this movie (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFi4zNJ7AxQ I suggest you to watch that regardless if we meet or not..it will give you a lot of energy), the STEVE JOBS SPEECH: 'STAY HUNGRY, STAY FOOLISH'. It has really opened my mind, it has made me “hungry” (in the S.Jobs sense).
An other very important thing I’ve learnt from the movie is that ‘YOU CAN CONNECT THE DOTS ONLY LOOKING BACKWARDS’; that’s the basis of my positivism, because when something goes wrong, I’m now sure from the beginning that after it will be better even than before the bad thing happened, but you can only realise fully at the end of it.
I think a few people live the life in the real sense of the word. Most of them are continually concentrated in his routine running like hamsters in the wheel, a lot of them to make money.. the most of us are always to be waiting something and don't live like we should. In my opinion we should have the courage to go forward walking without looking down, but looking up and watching the world (in the literal sense of the word :D ) and enjoying that.

ABOUT ME
I really can't describe me in a few lines..I can try :d I'm helpful, very extrovert (maybe too much), sociable, polite and open minded... I simply love hanging out with people. I really get along with anyone and I adapt myself to any situation. I hate to complain and those who do it often.
I love to meet people and make new friends, always arrange to do it also when I’m very busy, because relationships are the most important thing in my opinion.
I love travelling and taking that like a big and real adventure, I love the fact that you leave and you are a person, then you come back and you feel an other one, richer in your mind and heart.
Since 3 years ago when I had my first experience with foreign people in a volunteering project, I've started opening my eyes about how to really live life....I've started seeing clearly my biggest dream, which does not consists of making a lot of money, finding a good job and make career or in becoming the best tennis player (..ok ok I admit the last one is an exaggeration...it obviously would be better to become the top tennis player!! ahhah :D)...but it would be to have scattered friends from all over the world! I don't know you, but I find so fascinating that almost wherever you go you can find someone you know..this way you always could travel alone without being alone at all.. Besides that you'd become richer inside, knowing a lot of different cultures from your country's one.

I started hosting with couchsurfing two years ago first just to try a new experience, but then I realised it’s simply amazing, it's like travelling without either moving from your city, I spent like short but very intense holidays with everyone getting so linked that with some of them we are now best friends and we meet quite often.

I think you can have a little idea of a person by reading the profile and looking at some pictures, so I advice to have a look of my profile before asking me to host you. To know you've done that send me a message starting with 'BANANA', so I can't have any doubts you did it (unless if you are not sane which is always possible :D )

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

..It's a way, like an instrument to achieve what I said before in 'About Me' .. :D

Interests

I played tennis at a competitive level and I like sports in general. I like to read and watching movies. I enjoy nightlife, doing crazy things and...above all to live without fears!

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen everything from music 70 years' to modern...it depends on how I feel in a moment. I don't have a favourite band or music player....maybe the band songs I listen to more often are Coldplay's ones. I like a lot to read. My favorite author is Ken Follet and sometimes I like to read something about psychology that is very interesting in my opinion.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing experience I did was to throw me off the plane with a parachute from a height of 4200 meters with an instructor. (there are some pictures of that here!)
I travelled 3 months Europe alone only by trains and busses and only using Couchsurfing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

mmh well...First of all a lot of laughs I think :d my humor....a lot of funny stories and I can teach only Tennis, Italian and mathematics.
I can cook a typical Roman meal which is named Carbonara..and I enjoy doing a lot of activities, just believe me
