[IMPORTANT: generally, I am in Sicily only in September-mid October or for Xmas holidays. I spend the rest of the year exploring the world so unfortunately I can not host]

CURRENT MISSION
Explore the world... there is still a lot to do! I have visited 64 countries so far and I dream to see them all, one day.

- I am a geologist but my life took an unexpected turn and now I am a "travel deals hunter/ content editor" working remotely for travel deals websites. This event changed my life as I can live the "digital nomad lifestyle" jumping from one place to another around the world.

- During the period 2017-2019 I have lived in a "more or less stable way" in: Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Netherlands, Canada, Spain, Chile, Poland, Mexico and jumped in many more countries like Romania, Ukraine, Hungary, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Greece, Turkey and Japan!

ABOUT ME:

I consider myself an easy going, positive and full of energy person. I like to surround myself with like minded people but I also value the important of loneliness.

University's life was a bit strict for me so whenever i could, between my 20 and 25 years old, i booked a plane ticket and ran away. I really really love to travel, I hate monotony; this is the main reason why I decided to spend one Erasmus year in Portugal in 2011-12, amazing life experience that opened my eyes.

Every moment is the right one to visit new cities, meeting people, making new experiences, have fun and relax in new places, living the life.

PHILOSOPHY
If you wanna do something, do it! Don't pay attention to other people's opinions and society's expectations. The best advice that you could receive is the one from your own mind. Live your life, be free!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm not looking for a couch, I'm looking for new friends around the world!

After the experience, I like to keep in touch and, if possible, meet again. During summer I could help people who want to visit Sicily (and love to do it) and offer them an accommodation.

I lived in Coimbra (Portugal) and our amazing Erasmus house was opened to couchsurfers!

Interests

-Travel of course, discovering new cultures, habits and food... especially food.

- TV shows: I'm a serious passionate before Netflix arrived in our lives

- Sports: swimming / gym / jogging

-Learning and practicing languages: I improved my English throughTV shows and traveling; Portuguese was not so difficult since I used to live in Coimbra. My hardest challenge is learning Russian, still on it. I also learned Spanish by myself while traveling and organizing Erasmus trips and parties.

- Cooking: not really into it (am I even italian?) / Street food? OH YES!
