About Me

Hi, I'm Stefano — Italian, living in southern Portugal (Vilamoura, in the Algarve's famous "Golden Triangle") since 2021. I’ve travelled to 25 countries and lived in 6. I love freedom, nature, books, and meaningful human connections.

I'm a Taurus, independent, a free thinker.
I live off the grid in many ways: no alarms, no fixed routines, and my phone is always off (I only switch it on in emergencies and I don't use WhatsApp, my best life choose ever).
I read over 60 books a year, study late at night, and enjoy watching quality films.

My lifelong goal has always been the same: freedom.
Freedom to travel, grow, learn, observe, disconnect, and reconnect with meaning.

I don't work for money — money works for me.
I’ve built a lifestyle where I’m completely free. When I’m not travelling, I spend my time reading, learning, dancing bachata, walking on the beach, horseback riding, or flying my drone in nature.

I’m thoughtful, sometimes reserved, but also honest, reliable, consistent, and grounded.
People often say I’m “not a typical person” — and I’m proud of that.
I'm not vaccinated against Covid, and I have my reasons.
I'm not for everyone.. and not everyone is for me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I only use this platform when I sense a real opportunity for genuine human connection.

I love meeting conscious, curious and grounded people — the kind of souls who enjoy real conversations, cultural exchange, nature, and discovering the essence of a place far beyond the touristy spots.

But let’s be honest.
Now that I live in a beautiful and popular area, I’ve seen way too many girls using Couchsurfing just to get a free holiday — with zero interest in connecting, sharing, or contributing.
That’s not what I’m here for.
That’s why I’ve become highly selective.

If you're just looking for a bed in the Algarve,
maybe it's better to stay on Netflix 😌

My time, energy, and home are not for everyone.
But if you’re authentic, kind, and genuinely curious, we might share something meaningful — maybe even unforgettable.

How I Participate in Couchsurfing
I’ve met amazing people through this platform in the past, both while travelling and occasionally hosting.
Now that I live in Portugal full time, I’m open to hosting selected guests — people who bring something of their own, whether that’s a story, a skill, or just good energy.

I don’t host often, but when I do, it’s because I feel a real vibe.
My place is not a hostel — and I’m not a 24/7 entertainer.
But I’m a good listener, and I enjoy sharing moments of presence, silence, or deep conversation.

💡 If we connect, we might...

- Walk along the beach at sunset
- Share a glass of wine and a soulful conversation
- Talk about books, philosophy, or life lessons
- Ride horses or fly the drone over cliffs and nature
- Or just sit in silence and enjoy the moment

I’m not for everyone — and not everyone is for me.
But if you’re one of the few, maybe this could turn into something rare and beautiful.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

If the people lives with intensity all moments in the life, all moments are amazing!
Stay alone in the middle of the forest for 6 days without any phone, and 2 times 10 days in the desert

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you a very wonderful places in Algarve (the caribbean of the Europe).

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my time, my energy, and my freedom, but only if there’s real human connection.

If we vibe, you’ll find:

- Meaningful conversations (about life, mindset, travel, or anything worth sharing)
- A peaceful place to relax, with a beautiful garden and swimming pool
- A taste of real Italian cuisine, cooked with love
- A bottle of excellent wine (yes, I have a personal cellar 😏)
- A proper hot shower, clean towels, and a comfortable sofa - or even my bed (if I get tired of it, who knows... 😉)
- And maybe some bachata dancing together at sunset

And you?
What do you bring to the experience, besides a backpack?
