CURRENT MISSION
- Being exposed to different cultures
- Giving back to others the positives I received

NOTE:
1. Couchsurfing is NOT a dating app. Men half naked in the profile pic, for you there is Grinder.
2. Naturists do not ask me to get naked in your houses, it doesn't align with CS spirit.

ABOUT ME
Played rugby and now coaching, former teacher now working in finance.

Couchsurfing allows me to see places from locals' point of view.
During my trips, I made some good friends. Hopefully more will come.

I host as well whenever is possible despite my hectic life. It's nice spending time together, if your plan is just to find a place to sleep better to look elsewhere.
I can help you if you need any info about London, just ask!

I like cooking, I can make pizza from the scratch (ask Benjamin from Oslo for feedback 😁).
Also, I love to try local food while travelling... 🍲

To make sure you read my profile, start your message with "Ciao Amico"

Meeting you soon ...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I found this community through a friend. I met surfers at their place and then I started to host and surf myself. My first Cs experience was about to be a nightmare. A guy first offered me an host and declined cancelled it while I was on his way. Luckily, Jose helped me sharing his room in the Trinity College accommodations in Dublin.

When free, I like showing around and spending time with my guests.
I enjoy the Cs spirit, learning and sharing with other cultures, expand my network of friends from all around the world, as well as discovering new places.

Interests

Rugby is my love. I don't play anymore, but I like to be fit with sport in general.
I first started with cultural exchanges, then I found Couchsurfing and now I'm living in one of the most multicultural city in the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

Reading opens my mind. I like different kinds of books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visiting the Brecon Beacons waterfalls (Wales) in a rainy Easter Monday day with Saqib and his friends. I returned to London wet and cold, but it was worth my while.

Teach, Learn, Share

You can understand I'm Italian from my strong accent. I cannot get rid of it and I don't want to. It's part of myself and my origins.
Actually many people love it 😁. Besides, I know the Italian signs language (learnt from my parents).

What I Can Share with Hosts

My small single room that I'm happy to share with a single cs at the time (read couch arrangement ).
