CURRENT MISSION

20.000Km bike tour around Europe

ABOUT ME

A guy fascinated, let me say addicted to travel and chocolate. I'm definitely not a museum bud.
If I'm not trussed up with something I get easily bored or distracted, so I prefer most thrilling adventures.
Nowdays I'm biking around Europe in a year long tour riding approximately 20.000Km, discovering the most appealing dishes, recipes and products.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm travelling at the moment, I can cook for you or offer a dinner out in a typical (and cheap, I'm not yet rich) restaurant (I'm searching for traditional dishes)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been hosted during my first bike trip (Italy - Greece, two years ago) outstanding experience. When I was in Florence we have host several people in our flat: there were no weeks without someone popping around. Unfortunately I don't live in Florence anymore, but if you need a somehow crazy place to stay, close to the center, with smart people (a poet, an architect, a designer and who knows how many else) just let me know and I'm sure they'll be happy to help you find an accomodation or host you.
