About Me

Hi everyone! I am happy to be back!

I've spent the last four years in my little hometown in Sicily, where Couchsurfing doesn't work much, but now I've moved back to Rome!

I have great memories with the people met through this community, and I am sure new great experiences are about to come.

You can find me singing at open mics and jazz/blues jam sessions, if you want to join me you're welcome.

I work in human flourishing for big companies since 2016.

I also am a certified teacher of Italian as a foreign language - certification issued by University of Venice. Here in Rome I taught groups of international students for the main expats community.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It expands my chances for connecting with great humans.

Music, Movies, and Books

BOOKS
Pavel Florenskij and Simone Weil are in my heart.
Italian authors like Cristina Campo and Anna Maria Ortese, who (in my perception) had the courage to look into the abyss of existence.
Esotericism: Gurdjieff, Castaneda - with the necessary caution.
Insightful stories.

MUSIC
I warmly love Maurice White and the Earth Wind and Fire.

MOVIES
I love the atmospheres of some old ones like Hitchcock's, Truffaut's and Bertolucci's.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I sang and wrote two songs for a movie whose director was Gabriele Muccino - the same who directed Will Smith in the movie "The pursuit of happiness"!

You can find it here on the RAI website (me singing is at 05'30'' and later on):
