About Me

In these years Couchsurfing has really changed my perspective of travelling and allowed me to live as a local. I've made amazing friends, who sometimes I met again after years in a different country, and I'm so grateful for all of these experiences.
If you host me or I host you, please don't "recommend" me. I'm not an Amazon product. Consider the time I spent with you as the most valuable resource I can share. Usually I like to spend that time cooking together, having nice travelling conversation or for a walk in nature.

As a couchsurfer I'm an easygoing guy and I can really adapt myself to every kind of situation and couch (I already tested all kind of floors with CS and was lovely)

As a host, depending by how busy I am, I'd like to show you around the mountains and nature in Mugello and if you want I can show you some paths for trekking. But if you're more in the city-mood of course we can hang out in Florence. I always try to give back the kindness and hospitality that this community gave me when I needed.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Survived 3 weeks, while traveling from Italy to Spain, completely without money, and hitchhink from France to Spain. It was also thanks to CS I could made this amazing trip. Check here my experience from the diary blog I wrote: chapeau-travel.blogspot.com

After graduating I travelled for several months around Italy working as volunteer with WWOOF in organic farms doing a lot of stuff and discovering local cultures and all diversity from Tuscany to Sicily. It was a great and life-changing experience.

Travelled 16 months from Mexico to Ecuador. An amazing experience hitchhiking and volunteering around Latinoamérica with an amazing couchsurfing community.

I saw a Quetzal

Teach, Learn, Share

During this trip I'm also learning to play guitar, so if you have one it would be amazing if you could teach me something!

I'm always glad to teach some Italian traditional recipes from my Nonna.
