About Me

"La vita è troppo corta per aspettare"
Travelling. To me it's a passion that has made me a better person as it opened for me a window towards intercultural learning that profoundly changed the way I see the world, humanity and different cultures, and also what I apply with all my guests.
Change experiences and to know "little more" the world as I had the privilege to visit and lived many countries, places, emotions, independent ... as true, luckily in tent, Italian Navy, till hotel 5 stars . By car in Turkey, Syria east Europe and flying in many other countries for years in business visits, symposiums and fairs .
Beside standard languages i know also few words of many to move around.
Considering people experience my most outstanding quality is empathy because it gives me a sense of connection when considering other people's views feelings.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
