Hi! I'm Ruggero, 23 year old from Italy! I love doing sports, volunteering, hiking and lots of other things. I’m a full time physio and Jiu jitsu athlete but I love doing lots of different things: hiking, volunteering, dancing (lately got interested in salsa and bachata 🕺)…

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I think the true meaning of "traveling" doesn't lie in going around the world mindlessly, but instead consists in meeting people, creating new connections and experiencing different types of social relations and friendships with people with different perspectives from mine, but who are still like-minded. I think this is the best way not only to travel, but also to evolve as a human being and to live a life with fewer regrets

Interests

I've been doing judo, grappling and bjj for almost 7 years now, and lately I got interested in dancing salsa and bachata. Just the basic steps, but I love it!
I love human movement and biomechanics, and learning new stuff from people more knowledgeable than me. If you got something you’re good at, I’m eager to learn

• dancing
• human rights
• cooking
• cocktails
• yoga
• video games
• martial arts
• food
• feminism
• physical activity

Music, Movies, and Books

As long as it's good, I'll listen/watch/read it
