Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
After college, I decided to work while studying cause I wanted to trip. I spend all my money to try to travel as long and as far as possible. It wasn't easy and now I would help other students, lone or young travelers to realize their trip. But after many request I must underline: I don't see couchsurfing as airbnb. I don't care about people that want just save some money, I want help whom cannot travel in other way but this.
Never do couchsurfing as surfer...I think I'm too old, further at moment I have not easy travel targets (China,South America and so on). But many times, when I was wandering, I would like find a homing place and not just a common bed in a hostel. This is what I try to do for other: I feel little shy to speak in english (I can read and write well, not so fluent while speaking..) but you can always find a place when take a rest, shower,beer and a pasta dish here ;)
Interests
I like to write story about strange situations, read book of history, watch old movies, playing every competition sports (soccer, volley, tennis, pool...except for basket...my god, I hate basket!!!). I like do some conversation (in italian ^^" but I'm a good english listener :D) in front of a good glass of wine, black tea, cognac or whisky. I like sea in every face of it :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I lost myself in Inari shrine, Kyoto, during evening. Light was falling down and I start to run to get the exit, without know where it was. Then I arrived in a large place, with just candles light and two big fox marble that look at me. Around me just silence and dark. Very impressive *_*.
