I'm Mattia, wandering soul currently based in Lerici with a great passion for traveling, dancing, writing, cooking and meeting people from all over the world. Encounters, glances, random connections reaching you from moment to moment, bringing joy and inspiration at your doorstep.

I've been living and working abroad in Turkey, Namibia, UK, Tanzania and Vietnam. I studied Tourism and then gained a license as hiking guide, I am still trying to develop and design experiences related with sustainable tourism, ecotourism, yoga, permaculture, meditation, community based tourism and travel writing.

I love hiking, cycling, cooking, singing and dancing. I enjoy reading and I believe in the energy we all have nestled within us, I strive to listen to my soul and heart to guide me.

Blessed up Love & Namaste

PHILOSOPHY

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery none but ourselves can free our minds

A day without smile is a day lost

The master of life is the opposite of control, live in the uknown!

I don't MIND what happens, embrace the moment and let it flow ···

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Why not? It's one of the greatest innovative way to meet people from around the globe and share travelling experiences
