Italian, born and raised, although if you are expecting some stereotypical version I can be a huge disappointment. I am new to couchsurfing, tempted to say that I am far from being a globetrotter, but this might change soon, since I like to travel and now that I am on this site.

I am easygoing and very sociable, especially when I meet interesting and smart people. I enjoy a good discussion in front of a pint/bottle/pitcher of whatever, especially if it is tv, cinema, politics, philosophy or all of the above at the same time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Clock is ticking, death is approaching and I have yet to meet loads of interesting people and visit plenty of places, to do both at the same time with couchsurfing is just efficient.
