ABOUT ME

Marco is 32 years of age, Giada is 31. We met each other in Florence 7 years ago and we are still engaged. We have lived in Florence in the past 7 years where we also have studied and worked. Now we have decided to have a trip in Australia travelling from the east to the west coast of the country. We would like to meet people from the east, the south and the west of Australia to see how they live, who they are and how is living in different region of this beatiful country.
For this journey we both have left our respective jobs and our house in Florence to embark on this adventure in Australia ... we have decided to fulfill a dream ... now or never!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Giada: I saw an eclipse of the sun, I made a documentary of my own, I saw a dog and a cat sleeping together, I saw the Alhambra in Andalusia and the "Guernica" by Picasso, I saw the frescoes of Masaccio in Florence. I saw the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona and the Sistine Chapel in Rome...

Teach, Learn, Share

We don't know if we are able to teach something to the others, but for sure we can share the enthusiasm that we are putting into our next journey in Australia... with no more a job and a home in Italy we will leave only with a backpacker and a lot of will of change and of adventure.
