I'm 33 years old, Italian, living in Verona, working in school as a German teacher. In the last years I lived, working or volunteering, in many places abroad, like Germany, Russia, Iceland, Italy, Croatia and Austria, and also travelled to many others, now I'm happily enjoying Italy and my profession. I would be glad to host you in Verona and show you around if I have time :)

Best experiences of my life, briefly: two times Erasmus Study project (Potsdam in Germany and Zagreb in Croatia), volunteered in deep Russia for half a year, volunteered at the FIFA Confederations Cup 2017 + FIFA World Cup 2018 in Russia and Winter Universiade 2019 in Siberia, had an amazing 6 months trip around Asia meeting a lot of people with Couchsurfing.

I'm easy, uncomplicated and flexible, I adapt to different travel conditions and I like adventures, my comfort zone is quite broad. I'm outgoing and talkative, I quickly establish contact with people - also unknown couchsurfers - and I like to laugh and make people laugh. I'm quite sarcastic and I say a lot of jokes but still people take me always seriously. Why? :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don't like the recent commercial development of Couchsurfing, so if you finished your free couch requests, feel free to contact me on:

FB: www.facebook.com/andreapsq (don't get always notifications on Messenger though)
IG: @paskovich666
CS: write me a message!

Sometimes I write a super personalized message, sometimes a rather standard one. It depends on the information on the profile and on the vibe you get from it. Don't get angry if you receive a quite standard message from me, but be sure I checked your info, pictures, references and home description.
I surely don't get offended by random messages so write what you want and let's see if I can host you :)

I like travelling alone cause I find it adventurous, though I don't like always spending time alone. That's why I prefer finding a local couchsurfer than staying in a hostel, and bother you with questions about city, culture, language, atmosphere and so on.

I had some really nice experiences with CS and I have a lot of stories to tell about it. It all started in 2011 that first time when a blond german Sandra opened me the doors of her messy student apartment in Bremen and guided me through a crazy night made of Jägermeister and music of Laing and Seeed...

I keep a list of my CS experience so that I don't forget it:

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Slow travel: travelling without taking plane and enjoying slowly the natural and cultural changes.
You know Goethe going by horse from Germany to southern Italy and travelling there for years? Well I tried to do the same, travelling from my home, Villa Bartolomea in Italy, to Hong Kong. Just no horse, but car, bus and train. It lasted "only" 6 months, but it was the most incredible experience of my life

Teach, Learn, Share

teach and speak about languages, discuss geography, politics and history or whatever you want, cook typical italian food, tell travel stories, cultural exchange and a lot more

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food, drinks, bed, shower, safe place for your bike, good company for a walk, a chat, a night out, suggestions about the city
