About Me

ABOUT ME

I was having a "normal" life in Italy, when in 2010 I decided to something interesting for my life and went to Australia with the working holiday visa.. the best decision of my life!!

So I spent the best 2 years ever working and going around that amazing country, living in a van and feeling FREE like never before.
Then, and in the between, i travelled a bit through Asia and i realised what i want.. visit as many places as possible, discovering the amazing cultures around the world and maybe find the perfect place to settle down.
So after a bit of US and Hawaii I arrived in México in the 2013.
I put a small hostel in the city centre of SLP and i got it for 6 years, closed it on june 2020 because the owner of the house didn't renew me the contract. So I bought a combi van and with my ex girlfriend and our 2 dogs we travelled in Mexico and Guatemala .

Now doing seasonal jobs and keep traveling when possible 😎

I believe too many people complain about their life without do anything to change their situation, so i don't want to feel the same but try to have a worthy life! :D

Once, the Dalai Lama said:

"Man surprised me most about humanity. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money.
Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived"

...we should think about it... :)

PHILOSOPHY

Happiness in real just when shared!

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was living in Margaret River (Australia) and my house mate told me about this huge opportunity. I didn't do it so much in there because i was living in my van most of the time but on the next trips i really enjoyed it!!
