… The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their Dreams :) …

Hey There nice to meet you!

Filippo here ;)

I am from Rome but I actually live in Trapani since 7 amazing years, in sunny island of Sicily!

I am a really talkative, open-minded, curious and practical person who loves to get in connection with other souls in this Universe to enrich each other with ideas, emotions, and common life experiences!

As far as I can know since now, we only have ONE possible chance to live this life to its best and be, EVERYDAY, the BRIGHTEST version of who we can be…

So my Life philosophy is inspired to be as much present and aware in the HERE AND NOW, because yesterday is gone although it is part of us, and tomorrow is unknown!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me travelling is one of the richest and powerful experiences a person can have in life, wether it involves simple daily moments with friends and new mates we meet on our path, or it takes extraordinary moments spent to feel the majesty of a panorama and nature!

So I am here to meet new people, make new experiences, share common passions, explore other countries and traditions…

But also to simply enjoy time with a new person, from a dinner together to an entire night spent dancing!

Interests

Two are my main natural elements: air and water.

I am an Air Force Pilot, and I love everything that is connected with what can FLY… my strongest passion since I was a kid…

I also fly privately sometimes on civilian planes…
floating in the sky is for me the highest expression of freedom I can imagine!

But I was probably a seaman in my previous life, that’s why today I love scuba diving and free diving, go sailing and spend time with everything that is related to sea-life experiences.

I love swimming and make some weightlifting like crossfit, and any kind of sport that can be made in an open space.

I am pretty into a self-growth process in this moment of my life (mmm but I think it is something that will last FOREVER haha;)

That’s why I work on personal development attending courses and seminars during the year.

My spiritual side also made a call to me some years ago… that’s when I started meditation, almost on a daily basis, which is the door to connect myself to the deepest part of who I am…

I of course love good food and drinking wine (as probably all the Italians in the world do!)

• wine tasting
• flying
• scuba diving
• skiing
• exploring
• sailling

Music, Movies, and Books

I like Pop-rock-disco music, but also the sentimental and moving genres... music drives me in the moods of my life!

I like Action, Science fiction, sentimental movies.

I am in for several kind of books… The most beautiful I read that marked a turning point in my life were:

“22 Keys to rediscover yourself” (22 chiavi per riscoprire te stesso - in Italian) by Osho
“Love, freedom, aloneness” by Osho
“The way of the superior Man” by David Deida
“The journey Home” by Lee Carroll
“First Class” by Alfio Bardolla

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-Skydiving!

-Flying planes and helicopters... but that's my Job! :)
-traveling in the desert by night on a camel back
-swimming with some sharks and turtles
