I'm a beekeeper for passion and for work, where I make honey from my 300 beehives in the mountains. This allows me to travel for at least 3 months every year over winter when the bees don't need me. A large part of my free time is spent traveling by bike to get to know the world and all the beautiful people who live there.

I love the simple life in nature, I think that the way to my happiness passes through harmony and affection, but a little life adventure is even more beautiful!

I like trekking and climbing in my beautiful 'Apuan Alps'. I live in a tiny container house, so I can accommodate those who come with their own tent, no roof but a nice place to put the tent near the pond with the water lilies.

When I host, you will be my guests for dinner. For the 100 people or so that I've hosted on another platform called Warmshowers (for bicycle tourers) they usually say I'm a good cook, but you can try for yourself!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've always loved hosting and being hosted by great people on Warmshowers. My friend told me about Couchsurfing when I started travelling my campervan so I want to see what it's like on here.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have many passions, but 3 of them in particular I can easily share with hosts and guests who are interested: cooking authentic Italian food, beekeeping (how to grow and maintain beehives and making honey) and botany (plants in the world, growing plants and edible gardens).

I want to learn to speak English better and improve French and Spanish. I can teach you Italian.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking and always offer to cook for my guests and would love to do the same for my hosts. I can make any Italian dish and can teach you how to do it the authentic, Italian way.
