About Me

I've traveled many countries just by myself, with a tend, just using a bus or hitchhiking.
Sometimes I'd like to stop, to meet local people, so we can share our travel stories and make some cooking Italian experience together.

When I'm home I'm a farmer, so I like to host as much people I can in my house, just because I know what means travel in the middle of nowhere with no much money.
So, you're totally welcome: be my guest!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to know many people during my travel. Not just for save money. I will cook for you, buying the necessary with my money to repay you for hospitality. Or fixing stuff in your house if I will able to do.

At my house I will very glad to listen to your stories about travels.

Interests

I'm a nice cooker. Not professional, but I love to cook for me every day and for my friends whenever possible.
I like to enjoy company, but also love to stay by myself for long time, reading a book or just meditate.
I can also teach, for free, some self defence technique ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

Too much books. Several about Roman history. Several Biographies. Book about philosophy, from Kant to Socrates to Schopenhauer, but also, I Ching, Buddhism and Taoism in general. Classics like Dostoevsky, Yoshikawa, Sepulveda or Garcia Marquez.
And I'm also opened to all your advice.
Music, from classical 70s rock, to the electronic music of last years, passing by soundtracks and classical music. On my vinil library Sonic Youth stay close to Tchaikovsky, Radiohead stay close to Fugazi. Everything is well done!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm also a bricolage appassionate. I have restructured my house by myself, so I can help you with several electric, hydraulic and wooden works. I'm a good wood cutter💪

At my house, you can learn several bricolage skills,by using almost all tools humanity invented.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook for you or teach to. I can fix your furnishings, fix your hydraulic stuffs. I can teach you some self defence, grappling or boxe technique.

At my house I can offer to you a huge couch, also a warm shower, kitchen and my own made organic food.
