Hi! My name is Marino, I'm 28 years old and I'm from Italy. After studying photography, I started working in the film industry as a camera operator. I really enjoy my job, but every now and then I feel the need to take a break and focus on simpler, hands-on experiences—being around people, animals, and nature.

I love cooking (especially trying dishes from different countries!) and experimenting in the kitchen. I worked in hospitality for almost 10 years as a waiter and bartender, so I'm used to working in teams and handling fast-paced environments with a smile.

I'm also passionate about analog photography, video editing, and color correction—skills I use in my work but also enjoy in my free time.

Over the past few years, I’ve volunteered in several European countries, including at animal sanctuaries. I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats, and until recently, I shared my life with two amazing dogs. I speak five languages, have a driver’s license, and adapt easily to new situations.

I love meeting new people, discovering new places, and learning something from every experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because it allows me to travel with a lower social and environmental impact while also connecting with local people, enabling a genuine and meaningful human exchange.
