About Me

I had good experiences on couchsurfing when I lived in Milan in 2009. And later when I did a bicycle tour in Europe in 2015. Now, 10 years later, I am having more good experiences hosting people in Oslo.

I prefer to create new memories, not talk about old ones. I'm up for beers, walking, chilling, museums, sauna, cooking and more. I don't like big parties or hanging out with many new people at the same time, but I really enjoy 1 to 1 meetings.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing because travelling just to see sights and eat at restaurants is boring. I want to talk and experience real people, not see the world through the eyes of media. My priority has usually been to get in touch with locals. I'm not always successful, but when I am it makes a trip much better.

Couchsurfing is all about growing, having fun, meeting unique people and creating memories. Communication is important!

I traveled a lot when I was young, but the memories I cherish are the people I met. And I believe I am not very different. It's easy to get distracted by all the pretty things, but its the people that matter =)

Interests

I like writing, reading, video games, talking, running, drawing, 2nd hand shopping, movies, getting shit done, being honest.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: Doppler, Slaughterhouse-five, Flowers for Algernon, Life for Sale, Death and the penguin, Triste Tigre
Music: I like all kinds of music. Sometimes on sundays I go to a house/techno club. I go to hard rock festivals. I go to classical music concerts. If it feels good it feels good.
Movies: Too many, but to mention a few; Whiplash, Truffle hunters, Manchester by the Sea, Interstellar, Schindler's List, Hachiko
