ABOUT ME
Hi there! I just LOVE "Calvin & Hobbes", it says a lot about me. Also I like playing bridge, yes the card game, it's my main hobby. I used to play the piano when I was young then I stopped and right now I cannot perform anything at all; this gets me down :( but I will start again! My guitar is basically part of the furniture. I like reading and studying. My parents got me used to travel and I love it! I have been travelling throughout South America and Japan other than in Europe. I like japanese language and culture as well. When I finished my PhD I moved to Buenos Aires; now trying to go to Japan. See you soon!
PHILOSOPHY
Be the change you want to see in the world
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
My girlfriend introduced me into Couchsurfing world. I have been following her for about one year and a half aaaand.. the time to create my account has finally come!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
A girl I met few days before asked me to go with her for a short trip. She is currently my girlfriend and It was my first Couchsurfing experience ever. I was hosted by a wonderful person in a wonderful place near Palermo (Sicily, Italy). When I moved to Buenos Aires I could properly host people and since I arrived we (me and my girlfriend) hosted a lot of people! They are very different for age, interest and nature still wonderful people all! Love it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I partecipated to the Japanese indigenous (Ainu) yearly recurrence. It something like a one week festival inside of the forest in Hokkaido. Incredible.
