About Me

Lived all over the world, visited 28 countries, cycled the length of Japan, hitchhiked, worked in corporate America, got my heart broken a few times, surfed and hosted people from all over, left the US to return to my home country of Italy. Taking a six month break to rediscover my land on bike.

PS: My response rate is 0% probably because I didn't use the app for a couple of years but left it on "Accepting Guests" so it destroyed my response rate. Anyway, see my reviews, I've hosted a few travelers and have been hosted by a few as well! Ciao!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I donated $25 to Couchsurfing

Hosting travelers and bridging the gap between people from different worlds.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had many hosts let me crash when I cycled the length of Japan. Made many friends. Also surfed in Europe a bit, but not that much since

Interests

I am a very DEEP THINKER and will never turn down a philosophical conversation. The big questions are of profound importance to me, as I think they should be.

I love to get into that LAUGHING mood that comes from going back and forth with someone, saying one stupid thing after another, until you can’t even breathe and hope the other person doesn’t say anything anymore. I’m the guy that at this point, will almost always try to make you laugh just a bit more as you plead me to stop, just so I can get the satisfaction of hearing you say: “omg, omg, I just peed in my pants."

I am very OPEN MINDED and rarely judge others, even if they are different. I have seen enough of life to know that there is no one out there that is truly normal. This also means that I am always up for trying new foods and experiences.

I love to SPEAK OPENLY. I get awkward sometimes when people hide behind layers of falseness. I don't see why they do it.

I love FOOD. I would constantly feast if it wasn't for the fact that you get fat and die if you do.

I I have an interest for history, sciences, economics, business, politics and sociology...but always hated school.

I like to TRAVEL.

I watch ANIME (don't laugh). I don't care that I'm too old for that, I love it.

I am a pretty good WRITER, or so I’m told.

I like yoga and meditation and I do them all the time!
