PLEASE READ THE HOUSE RULES PART, and start the message with the KEY WORD in the house section, so I will know that you read them and avoid to double ask every time.

LAST MINUTE REQUESTS ARE UNLIKELY TO BE ACCEPTED, and by last minute I mean when you decide at 11 am to ask me for a place to stay the same night.
Please send your requests at least 48H IN ADVANCE! I don't live by my own so as a matter of respect for my flatmates I have to be able to ask them in advance if I can have guests.
I can make exceptions only for HITCHHIKERS or last moment emergencies.

Big hugs to you all 💞🕊️

Hi, I'm Giacomo, I was born in a small city in the North-West of Italy, close to the French border.
Since I started university in Bologna, in 2016, I had the luck to travel across Europe, North Africa, Middle East and South America, mainly through exchange programs but also because I took a gap year in South America, working in Brasil.
I love traveling, mostly by hitchhiking, in the end hitchhiking is like Couchsurfing: you pick up a random person that you don't know at all, and you give him/her a ride for free, pretty much as Couchsurfing, since you allow a random person in your house.
I'm very talkative and sociable, I love meeting new people and sharing life experiences, I strongly believe that there's always someone with more experiences than us that can teach us something, being humble is the key of life.
Now that I have to stay at least one year in Bologna, working and writing my thesis, I've decided that is finally time to pay back the universe for all the amazing people that I met through this platform, and be a full time host in this beautiful city that is Bologna.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love sharing stories with people.
I enjoy listening to other human beings adventures and honestly I do really believe that Couchsurfing is an amazing place where meeting people who traveled a lot and that can share with you their experiences.

Interests

I'm really into music, it's very likely that I'm going to ask you if I can have a look at your library on Spotify because I'm always looking for new artists.

I did many random things in my life: drama courses, circus and volunteering, just to mention some of them.

But I'm also a very lazy person, so instead of writing or reading everything let's catch up for a beer and I will talk directly with you!
