About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm not very good at these questions, so I'll keep it short. I am 27, from London, been living in Italy for 2 years, before I worked in a bank. Rock n Roll.

PHILOSOPHY

"Some people make money, others make history". Tony Wilson (Factory Records).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm not sure if I will be the most active member, but I will certainly respond to any requests, go to a few different events, host people when I can and hopefully even try to surf a couch myself.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My experience in CouchSurfing is pretty limited, when I was in Palermo my good friend Davide used to host people and I would sometimes go out for a beer with his guests. I used to really enjoy it and met some great people.

Interests

I have many interests, however none of which are particulary exciting, just the usual.
I like going to concerts, playing and watching sport, going out with friends, travelling, dreaming of playing a musical instrument and many more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After I finished unversity I went on a 4 month travelling trip round the world.
A few years after I came to live Italy without knowing a word of the language.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a degree in Economics, so I know a lot about Supply and Demand. Other than that I can teach people about English culture (the little that exists anyway).
