Hallo adventurer, glad to see you here at my campfire 🏕️ if you want to join me this night you definitely need to know a few things about me.

I really love to discover new things around me, maybe sometimes I'll appear to you too much expansive but just talk to me, I'll try to listen and learn to my mistake (like the last time we scream too much during a D&D session at 1.00 am, but you know we defeated the dragon 🐉).

Anyway I am Francesco, happy to meet you, take a seat and something to eat. You definitely need to try this new cake I cooked yesterday (I love sweets, cakes and good food, my chef 👨‍🍳 skills are still in progression but we can eat definitely good if I have the ingredients to cook).

What else? Ah yes, don't look there it is a mess, my collection of books 📚 slip away my backpack, if you want to read I definitely suggest you these two: "Solo bagaglio a mano" by Gabriele Romagnoli and maybe this manga "La via del grembiule - Lo yakuza casalingo" very funny, about a retired killer that became a domestic in Japan.

Still thinking of joining me on the campfire or running away asap? No pressure, feel free to ask me (almost 😏) everything.

Anyway time for a nap, the day is long and I want to visit this old castle 🏰 this afternoon, bye adventurer feel right at home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I love travel, meet new people, eat new food 🍙 and have fun with firends.

Sometimes being hosted 🛋️ by someone is a real gift because making possible a trip that the budget doesn't make possible.

Only in this way is it possible to discover new ways of travels 👣, improve your limits and have fun in different ways that we didn't know until now.

A little quote "Take nothing but pictures📸, and leave nothing but footprints" with the add of: "and have fun with new friends".

Interests

When I meet with an old friend after time the conversation starts like that: yes "you name" I definitely need to train more, parkour is fun but I want to jump more, but I try every week to eat better, you know I cook a new cake 🥧 ("show photo of the cake on the phone 📱) ah yeas, this was a d&d session with my friends, ah this beer was very good (IPA 🍻). Ah a coffee on the weekend? Sorry I need to see the last trash movie in the cinema, you know I need to stay informed after "the beekeeper"....

Music, Movies, and Books

You need to read or watch them all before you host me, or it is possible that I spoil you all of them...

I'm joking, but they are so entertaining, check it out:

BOOKS 📚
I think you can appreciate separated categories, right? So let's start with:

- Fantasy: Dragonlance Chronicles (old school dark fantasy) or The Door to Time (for kid but really nice concept and sketch).

- Sci-fi: Limit - Frank Schatzing (a brilliant action/dystopian books, take care, it is an heavy book)

- Travel: Solo bagaglio a mano by Gabriele romagnoli (I read it a lot of times, it is a lifestyle right know)

Special guest (don't buy it): The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up (if you have too much stuff in your house).

I don't read too many novels, I usually read about a specific topic that maybe for a period I think can be interesting: like plants (how forest and tree works), historic (middle age is an evergreen) and personal growths ("The Richest Man in Babylon" or similar).

I love taking books at the public library because it is free.

FILMS 🍿
I think moods are very important, maybe tonight you are sad so why not watch a very romance story?

- Action and explosion: Rambo (the old one, the best one), Matrix, John Wick (for videogame experience), Mission impossible or Domino, The raid and Black rain.

- Trash eplosion? Looks cool: Crank 2 (not watch with you grandma, I'll warn you), The expendables 3 (like old fast and furios but without car), G.I. Joe (why not ninja with guns?), Shoot 'Em Up (it is cringe), the beekeeper or the original "the crown".

- I want a serious film mom: Ok, try with Beast of no nation (don't watch it during dinner), Tropa de Elite, Sicario or Poor things (very beautiful film).

- I want to pee my pants watching an horror at 3am with headphone and volume at 100%. Ok, I don't judge you, I watch horror movie after lunch, because I don't want to watch under my bed during night... Rec (lovely the old lady, right?), The rite (Anthony Hopkins as priest, I need to write something else?) and The descent (why not climbing an inexplored cavern?).

TV SERIES 📺
Nope sorry, I don't like The Big bang theory, I love stuff more action and adrenaline.

You leave prison and then became the sheriff of a town in texas the same day, cool right? (Banshee)

Got, true detective (s1/2), Hannibal, Severance (s01).

Mmmm, I don't remember other stuff, just ask me when you'll host me, I watch a lot of stuff.

Special guests for Anime 🗻 One punch man (too fun, the second season is draw poorly, but I know that you'll watch it), Fate/Apocrypha (the sound of the sword are so cool, listen it with the volume really hight), Full metal alchemist (for a creepy story hidden behind child sketch), and basically all the Isekai ⚔️🛡️

I love, really love film, cinema, doc and everything related.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The National scout ⛺ route in 2014. We were in 30.000 all in the same place for 4/5 days. It was the most epic and fun experience of my life. All these people with similar values all together.
If you can't image how largest was the basecampm think that to reach the camp 5 from the first one you spent 1h walking.

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't know how to add more here, but I graduated in New technology of art, I am a big nerd about tech, camera gear and cinema 📽️ so I think I definitely can teach or talk about a lot these kind of topics.

I really love to spend more time in the future to draw so if you sketch or you do any kind of manual work (mechanic, hydraulic, telecommunication or programming and hacking (white hag guys)) I am glad to listen 👂 and learn new things.

If you want to spend some time with me thanks, I am really happy and the people that I met here on the platform are basically all good guys and girls. So thank you, for sharing your time with travellers and crazy people moving around the world 🌎.

I want to finish with a small poem but in English it looks stupid so for this time I'll keep it for me, but I want to let you know that: never stop being like Peter Pan, moved by simple things, fun and free. ❤️

What I Can Share with Hosts

You understand that I am a creator, I take photo and video and I tell stories, in the future I hope to live doing this beautiful work so:

I can offer you a shooting 📷 (new fb/instagram profile photo) or different shots of your activity (if you have an Airbnb or similar).

I can shoot a video 📹 (for good work I need at least two days for all the clips) where I'll show your activity, or where you play your guitar or sing with your emergent band (just advise me first so I can carry with me microphone and other video stuff).

If it is years that you want to shoot something but you don't have a camera to film it, but you have a cool project, talk with me, maybe we can tell together this story in a creative way (and probably we'll becoming super famous).

BUT if you are more sportsman, we can train 🤸‍♂️ together. I can teach you the basic movement of parkour, how to gradually increase your mobility and become familiare with your body.

Or we can make a super hard calisthenics workout without any kind of gear, we just need an open space and then food, because cardio make you hungry.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you don't need anything like that here a LIST of the BASIC ACTIVITY that I obviously can do If you host me.

- Take care of child, animals 🐧 (dog and cats, but if you have birds it depend, for a couple of years I had a budgerigar).

- Cleaning 🧹, washing, painting and all the other manual work I had learned during my period with scout (chopping wood, building wood structure).

- Oh yes: I know how to use sander, chainsaw 🪚 and how to resinate (I helped my uncle to waterproof his canoe).

- I can help you tidy rooms, basement or attic (and relocate packages 📦 or furniture).

- If you have problem with pc 💻/smartphone/reflex or other electronic devices I dismount my stuff different time, ask me to try to fix your old phone before throw away. Just the same if you need to formact, install an ssd in your new laptop or recover a damage hdd.

- Teach you how to use program at the pc, if you need help with Photoshop/lightroom/davinci resolve/premiere/zbrush and other graphic program just ask.

- Teach you how to use social network (if you want to use it for work) mostly fb/instagram/youtube/vimeo.

- Teach you italian 🇮🇹

- Cooking basic italian food 🍝(I'll warn you, in any case I'll do my best. But remember, it is better to teach me what, how and how much time I need to cook it).

- If you need to take someone and carry him at home but you are busy, I have the diver license for car and motorcicle.
I drive a couple of times a camper and a van, but don't ask me to carry a guy 100km away your house.

LAST but MORE IMPORTANT: teach me everything else I don't know how to do. I love to learn new thing, more skills and less tools :)

Electronics🔌 and hydraulics 🪠 are on the list.
