ABOUT ME

I'm a metalpunk musician, freelance writer and author. I played guitar in a punk rock band for 10 years, toured Europe seven times, and the USA two times.
In my travels, I visited most of Europe, Asia, and 45 out of the 50 United States selling merch for bands or on tour with my own. I lived one year in China for work (teacher of Italian and English)and have no desire to go back to Italy. I spent 6 months traveling and working in Australia's east coast and Red Center, and I am currently based in Malaysia. In 2012, I overlanded from Singapore to Milano, mostly hitchhiking.
I used to play guitar in Penang's thrash-core unit WEOT SKAM and are well connected with the music and art scene on the island.

PHILOSOPHY

travel, play music, live to the max, experience everything, love with deep heart, and back again from the start.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I offer one of the best couches in George Town when I am not busy with my multifaceted personal and artistic life, and wherever I travel I try to couchsurf to meet people and teach them something about enjoying their lives king size.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All the floors and couches of Europe and America have been mine, from Seattle to Los Angeles, from Arizona to Texas, from Kansas to Chicago, from New York to Memphis, from Amsterdam to Milano and Rome, from Berlin to Madrid etc. playing in a band even before CS existed. I am a pioneer, ahahaha... I've been couchsurfing around East, South, Southeast and Central Asia, Australia, South America and if you check my references you can see how seriously and positively I take the experience. I expect my guests to do the same.

兴趣

Punk/Hard Rock/Metal Music, especially from the 70s and 80s, b-movies in general with a particular taste for European Sexploitation horror and science fiction, Japanese monster movies, Italian horror and American 50s and 60s science fiction. Anthropology, ethnomusicology, popular music studies, cultural studies. In general, the BIZZARRO and the MONDO CANE.

I love to relax and talk about interesting stuff, I am pretty computer literate, I know bands all over the world and I like old grindhouse cinemas where I can pretend I'm not in this wacky world for a while.

音乐、电影和书籍

What decade and what country? Too many to mention, mate.
But give me some "Secret Treaties"-era Blue Oyster Cult anyday and you'll put me in a good mood. I'm making a career of evil, yeah.
