JAN 2025 UPDATE:
For a few years I was based in the in the Italian Alps (Aosta Valley) with my then-wife and two stepdaughters.
However, we have since separated, and I no longer live there.

Currently, I divide my time between my family home in Montesarchio (Caudina Valley, as in my younger years) and England (for work).
Whenever I'm in Montesarchio, I'll be happy to host you.

‐-------‐----------------------
Paolo in a nutshell:

1) (Honorary) anthropologist
2) (Honorary) travel photographer
3) (Not just honorary) adventurist

A) Accomplished dish-washer (and possibly cook too, but don't bet your stomach on it)
B) Big time addict to all types of cheese (but I can get along with vegans too)
C) Engaging folk from the Italian countryside
D) Introspective dude on a continuous search to learn new things from the world that's out there
E) Constant rummager of cheap fares to anywhere
F) Number-crunching Sherlock Holmes for private companies (aka, cost controller freak)
G) Lifelong sworn enemy of Mr Suit and Mrs Tie (despite overwhelming social pressure, I've fought them off so far)

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

- Travelling around most of the world for a combined 11-12 years of my adult life (out of savings, from my junior work alone)

- Living and surviving so many extraordinary adventures that could probably fill two or three lifetimes

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

- Sharing travel advice (a lot of it)
- Sharing travel stories (an even bigger lot of it)
- Helping finding rock-bottom cheap fares
- Cooking some pasta recipes from my overlooked, remote region in Appennine Italy
- Joining forces for any work/repairs on your house or garden (or boat)
