Hi! My name is Marco, I’m a public employee with a degree in Law, and I really enjoy meeting people from cultures different from my own.
I’m a friendly, easygoing, and cheerful person, always curious about the world and eager to learn new things—especially new languages!
I speak English very well, and Couchsurfing is a great way for me to connect with travelers, make new international friends, and share good conversations and cultural exchanges.
I’d be happy to host and get to know you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing because I love meeting people from all over the world and learning about different cultures. It’s a great way to make new friends, share experiences, and improve my language skills. I believe that hosting and being hosted can create meaningful human connections and unforgettable memories.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer my guests a calm and independent stay. Of course, there’s a comfy couch to sleep on, but I also have a guest room with a real bed available. Guests are welcome to use the shower, the bathroom, and the kitchen—just like at home. I want everyone to feel comfortable and free during their stay, as if they were in their own place.
