About Me

Student of Economics and Social Sciences. Sport is my greatest hobby. You can sleepover on my couch or matress in the living room. The neighborhood is nice and quiet but in the middle of the city.
I am a Buongustaio as we Italians say. I can speak and understand various languages.

I try to provide a clean and comfortable place to stay, so make shure you value my effort (invite me for dinner, bring gifts, buy food or invite me to your place). If that feels uncomfortable to you, we won’t be on the same wavelength.

Since i got so sad about climate change and the way super rich people and big corporations destroy the planet i am primarily hosting PEOPLE WHO TRAVEL SUSTAINABLY = low carbon footprint. Let‘s proof together that travelling must‘nt necessarily be done by car or airplane!
