CURRENT MISSION

After 18 years of living in Canada, I'm resettling in Italy since the summer of 2014.
I'm currently promoting and screening in Italy my documentary film "Land Awakening" (or "Rinascere Nella Terra", in italiano) that I shot in the European Mediterranean, a film about alternative agriculture and 'exploring our relationship with the Land'.

I am also in a personal transition time, exploring my inner self, searching for a sustainable way of living in harmony with Nature, in a healthy way with Human Community, and looking into re-skilling myself into Natural Horseback riding, and other sustainable activities related to food..

ABOUT ME

I am focused on bringing my present to a conscious flow with life. I'm looking to be constantly engaged with respecting nature and becoming one with it. I'm looking into establishing a different way of Human relationships; a peaceful and harmonious ways of communicating with the Human kind in Emphatic Communication; with a lover, a partner, a family, a community.

Searching to give the best of me in what I do. Being aware of the permanent process of transformation of myself and the world into becoming a better and compassionate Being.

Interested in finding and being part of a different Human economy that is sustainable, fair and respectful of Life and Nature; a change of the collective consciousness to build a society where its values are not those of profit first.

I want to learn about new experiences that build sustainable ways of life where the environment and the spirit of human kind grows first before profit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to grow into being able to host and be hosted by the best of people in a no-nations, no-borders world.

COUCHSURFING (and Community) EXPERIENCE

Brief and very, very pleasant couch experience in Vitoria, Spain, in Allex, France, in Cagliari, Sardegna, Italy. I've hosted a couple of times when I was living in Quebec, Canada.

Out of the CS network, and while I was shooting my film, I've been hosted at different homes and organic farms that belong to a network of Organic Farmers (wwoof) in exchange of volunteering at these farms.

While traveling during the screenings of my documentary film in many cities, towns and ecovillages around Europe, Mexico and Canada, I've been hosted by a wide diversity of people in many places, with always excellent experiences, no exceptions.
