CURRENT MISSION

Essere o non essere; non c'è domanda

ABOUT ME

I've been living and working in Minneapolis for 5 years and have enjoyed my time here. I'm an easy-going kind of fellow who enjoys spending time with friends and meeting new people. I consider myself to be a little quiet but if you catch me in the right setting, I can be a social butterfly. I'm the product of Conan O'Brien and I often catch myself with cheeky commentary going on in my head and I'll end up laughing at everything and anything.
I live with another couchsurfer/best friend whom I share a disgusting potty mouth with. It is my goal to have you walk away with a positive potty-mouth-driven experience. Aside from using vernacular Americana, I also can read, write & speak Italian (some, anyway).
Finally, I love to eat and cook.

PHILOSOPHY

I usually assume the best in people and have high expectations. Some people may think it's naive, but I disagree. I'd rather assume the best out of someone and then be proven wrong instead of assuming the worst of someone and then be proven wrong. Did that make sense?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Minneapolis--and the surrounding area--has a fine group of couchsurfers and folk. I'm happy to have met all of these people and even happier to try and participate how ever I can. The gatherings are great.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A good one so far.

Interests

I'm a huge classical music fan and also a fan of all other music. I often go to orchestra concerts, opera concerts and the occasional local band concert. I work for a major orchestra.
I also love food... going out for food and a drink is one of my favorite things to do.

I am very active so exercise is a part of my life: gym, running, walking, biking, swimming, you name it.

Other interests include movies, airplanes/aviation, TV , running, walking, camping and obviously traveling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Took my mommy to Spain and Gibraltar and we climbed the Rock of Gibraltar. She was very excited and felt a lot of accomplishment--it was nice to see that.

Teach, Learn, Share

It would be nice to meet more Italian-speakers and also to help them learn English too.
