About Me

I am a neverending dreamer. I love to explore as much as I can this amazing world, walking, flying, hitchhiking, surviving, waking up with a beautiful day. Just feeling the unconditional freedom without addictions. I am attracted by the idea of putting myself at the limit of my comfort zone, against social conventions.

Like a friend wrote once, "all those questions were suffocating me and I didn't want at all to give explanations to people that try to grasp certainties, rather than seeing the beauty of the unknown"

I used to study, work, live, travel, feel in different countries. I enjoy traveling and sharing good moments with people, discovering other cultures. Every stranger is our unknown part that destiny offer us, every meeting is bearer of mystery. I am proud to belong to that generation untouched by technology (yes, I don't have internet in my mobile and still like to talk face to face to people).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe in the power of humanity to create stupendous changes!

Interests

Traveling and discovering new cultures
Collecting postcards from places I visited and eventually sending them to friends
Dancing breakdance and practicing karate (at least when I was younger)
Magic card tricks
Writing emails to pen friends
Foreign languages
Veganism, raw foods, health and wellbeing, sunshine, meditation
Yoga and acroyoga
Nature, sea, animals and delicious fruit!

Music, Movies, and Books

In general movies, songs and books that give emotions or make you think and feel!

I like movies of Quentin Tarantino (Pulp fiction, Inglourious bastards), Clint Eastwood (Million dollar baby, Gran Torino), Woody Allen, Roberto Benigni (La vita è bella... of course!), also movies like The Shawshank Redemption, Forrest Gump, Dead poets society. Morgan Freeman and Robin Williams are very good.

Music and books are a time dependent photography of the evolution of your inner self. So the answer is true for now but can vary with the flow.

Ok Beatles and Rolling Stones for sure! Then M-clan, Jarabe de Palo (discovered when I was living in Spain), Ray Charles, Bob Marley and Italian singers like Franco Battiato, Gianni Morandi, Rino Gaetano and Adriano Celentano.
I have recently discovered Kygo (dance music), Norman Brown (amazing guitarist!) or Cigarettes After Sex (pop music).

Books, in this period mostly about health and nutrition (more or less with a scientific approach), attraction law, ethics.
Mucusless Diet Healing System by Arnold Ehret, astonishing! And all his other books.
The 80/10/10 diet by Dr. Graham. This book can really change your life!
Lettere dalla Kirghisia by Silvano Agosti.
The Way of the Fruitful Traveler. Written by a guy traveling the world with his brother, eating fruit and going with an ultralight backpack!
Eternal Treblinka: Our Treatment of Animals and the Holocaust. A bit heavy but interesting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Fallen down from a ten meters waterfall in cavagrande (a natural reserve in sicily near my city)... unfortunately!

Won against millions of competitors in a race and be born.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you something about magic card tricks (maybe?) or how to prepare delicious Italian dishes. I have also recently started playing guitar, just doing some accord.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversations, limoncello (not a must, btw), vegan food, good vibe, a place to sleep, beautiful walks, amazing panoramas. Lots of things.
