About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Visit Bosnia and Israel (one more time)

ABOUT ME

easy going and Openmind guy, very responsible. I really like to spend time with friends, especially with tasty and fresh beer.
I work in bank but I change quiet every day branch because I have to replace colleagues who are ill or on holidays in that period. So one day in Naples, another in Capri :-) or Sorrento but I'm not always so lucky :-). This is amazing for me because I can meet all my colleagues of all branches. And thanks to this "moving" job I had to chance to know some wonderful persons I could have never known otherwise.
I like to spend time with my worderful 11 nephews;Xmas lunch is wonderful: all my family meet (the only moment all over the year). Even if I have some brothers far from me I have quiet daily contact with them. My family is my strenght

PHILOSOPHY

No sacrifice, no reward.
"do ut des" doesn't exist for me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

til now only one experience with couchsurfing. I have been hosted by a berliner guy and I had the chance to exchange very important opinions with him. I think this is the main spirit of couchsurfing

Interests

I really like travelling and I hope that couchsurfing will help me. It's very nice to meet persons of other contries and cultures. Differencies enrich People. But for me travelling has also another purpose; for me it's important to verify and feel the social situation of country or city I visit and I'm very interested in regions where there are some "problems" (just to veryfy why there are problems). That's why I visited Israel and Palestinian Territories, Belfast, Bilbao, and now I hope to visit Sarajevo and Mostar.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is my life. I really like to listen to music while I'm driving in my car.
I have a city map collection;I started when I was 5 :-). I really like to know place I'm going to visit before I go just not to have problem of orientation when I am physically there. That's why I adore Google Earth and Google street view.
