Hello community!
My name is Babo.
Actually... it's Stefano. But we were 5 Stefanos on the basketball team and everybody received the shortcut of the last name as a nickname.
Unsure about how long should this intro be.
Originally from Italy, I left the "confortable/normal/expected" life style when I was 20. I went to Austria, became a snowboard instructor. In a couple of years I got my international license and then I started "pinballing around the planet". When I turned 30 I landed in Canada and.... yeah: for the last 15 years I have been there, mostly living in a ski-resort called Sun Peaks, working in various position in the tourism industry and opened my own business few year ago. (Feel free to check it out: it's called Skibike Canada).
BUT... Nothing is written in stone (especially in the last few crazy years).
So, after having almost settled down there, I am back on the road, exploring beautiful Costa Rica.

I play basketball, I play music (cajon and harmonica), I speak almost 5 languages (let's be honest: my Japanese is basically gone).
I love to hike and to run and to do A LOT of physical activities.

I am well organized, clean and respectful.

I love to meet new people and I believe that sharing is caring. Especially sharing knowledge and experiences.

Pura Vida!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I prefer to pay you dinner or bring few beers instead of having to pay a hostel or something like that! Because I love people, I play music, and I wanna have a lil bit of experience of the place that I am visiting!
