Hey I'm Matteo 🤗
I’m currently traveling with my best friend on a long, slow adventure across the world.
We started in Argentina and are making our way north along the Atlantic coast, hitchhiking all the way up to northern Mexico. From there, we’ll cross Mexico from east to west, then head south along the Pacific coast down to the southern tip of Chile, before returning to Argentina.

Next step: Africa, coming from Asia.

We travel to meet people, share stories, learn from locals, and experience places beyond the tourist paths. Always grateful for good conversations, shared meals, and human connections.

I work for The Wine Picker magazine, where I write articles focused on wine, people, and places, and I also share my travel and hospitality experiences through a personal storytelling project on LinkedIn.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing to meet people, share real moments, and experience places through the eyes of locals. For me, travel is about human connections, conversations, and learning from each other — not just destinations.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy sharing travel and hitchhiking stories, good energy, and meaningful conversations. I’m always happy to cook together, help around when needed, and exchange cultures and experiences. At the same time, I love learning from locals about their culture, daily life, food, traditions, and different ways of seeing the world.
