I'm Ivan, an Italian man. Born in southern Italy, I lived for 20 years in Liguria, and 20 years around Europe. Now I settled in Italy, in Genoa.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I signed up for this app because it goes against the trend of all the others (which I don't love and don't use), while apps and social media keep people away, this app brings them closer and transforms them from perfect strangers to people who share their lives.

Interests

My main interest is to eliminate from my life what I don't want to do, and replace it with activities that I love, with my passions. I do the same with people, I push away those who hinder (or try to hinder) the realization of my dreams and I bring closer those who arrive in peace, and who, like me, want to enjoy this life.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music, books and films, I have mine, you have yours, let's talk about it in person, so we avoid prejudices and stereotypes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have done and seen exceptional things, but if you want to know those too you have to meet me, I still believe in dialogue, face to face.

Teach, Learn, Share

Regarding teaching, learning and sharing, I propose a flow of consciousness for the duration of your stay, walks, chats, dinners, lunches and breakfasts together, art, music, cinema, guitars and oil paintings, then we see at the end of our time together who has learned what, and who has taught whom.
