CURRENT MISSION What's in the next valley? ABOUT ME My name is Igor. I was born in Germany, Bavaria, where I have lived for thirteen years. Afterwards I spent seven years in Rijeka (Croatia) where I graduated. In 2015 it'll be 25 years that I have been living in Trieste (Italy) where I made my University degree and still work. I like pets (dogs, cats, parrots, turtels...) even if I don't have any. I'm used to divide a flat with other persons: In the last 15 years I got to know more than 30 people in that way.
Interested in Animals
Interested in Bars
Fluent in German
Learning English
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING At this moment I live in a shared flat, so I regret that I have no possibility to offer a shelter to couchsurfers. But I'll be happy to meet other travelers for a triestine "capo in b" or other drinks. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I assisted a friend of mine in taking care of many couch surfers he hosted at his place. In this way I met really great and interesting persons, all highly reccomended people. Although I don't have the possibility to host couchsurfers I like to meet and help them with good hints on places to visit and money to save, especially in Trieste (Italy) where I still live. :-)

One Amazing Thing I've Done
A chocolate cake made with olive oil based on a recipe I found in the internet - nobody liked it. Or my attempt to make sardinian "guefusu" by using a recipe for shortcrust pastry. My sardinian friends were very cross with me! :-)
