Max, 32 Italo/French living in the Netherlands for 11 years. Now, after 6 months of traveling around South East Asia in reaching Australia to continue the adventure. I'm overall an easy going person, who enjoy sports as much as chilling. Into music, and board sports, I like to hang out and discover places. The beach is my happy place, especially at sunset. Back in NL I used to work for a skateshop so love the style, the sport and the community. I do enjoy a good conversation, some with 'food for thoughts' or more 'provoking' topics, questioning even my own point of view, to always learn change or make an opinion even stronger but also some relaxed one about anything, there is always an opportunity to learn new things :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always thought it's a good wait to meet people and connect with other humans. I think that mainly, when being hosted, it humbles you and it's a great way to travel and get to know people from different backgrounds and with different mindsets and point of views, as much as finding others that are on the same mindset and point of view. Overall it's a great way to learn, experience kindness and open your mind.

Interests

My passions are going to concerts, skateboarding (although after a dislocated shoulder I'm taking it pretty chill), chilling out especially at the beach, eating and discovering vegetarian food, playing drums, working out and have a good balance between being physically active and a couch potato.
I do enjoy discovering new places, and find myself to be very happy watching sunsets and being at the beach.

Music, Movies, and Books

I generally like many genre, and always down to discover new artists.
Unfortunately I don't read as much as I would like, I found that I get easly 'bored' if I'm reading something that really catches my attention.
In terms of movies I'm not the biggest SciFi fan, I always say that I like more 'realistic' type of things..I do like series, Breaking Bad, GOT, Peaky Blinders, Shameless and some other classics. Big fan of a good stand up comedy aswell.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the highlights of my latest travel was having a sea turtles floating around me while sitting on the surfboard waiting for a wave..made me feel very present and enjoying fully the moment I was living

Teach, Learn, Share

I know some music production, especially when it comes to synths and ableton, I really enjoy skateboarding and teaching it is always super fun. I like to talk and discuss about social related topics, psychology, spirituality and philosophy

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hopefully good talks, exchange of opinions, advices on music production and the technical side of skateboards (I used to work for a skateshop), discussion on different topics, as much as a help when is needed around the house or with some other stuff..overall I hope I can deliver some good company and openness
