Hi everyone! My name is Diego, I’m an Italo-Brazilian from São Paulo and Genoa. I graduated in International Political Science from the University of Bologna, and I’ve always been passionate about traveling, culture, and the world in general.
I started traveling intensively when I was 18, managing to combine university life with adventures across different continents. During my studies I had the chance to do four international exchanges (in Buenos Aires, the Azores Islands, Porto Alegre, and Santiago de Compostela).
Nowadays, I try to make the most of my time by learning, exploring, and discovering more about the world. I’m a very curious person and I love meeting new people from all around the globe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This is my top 3:
• When I was 19, I hitchhiked and caught a ride on a tractor in a remote area of Uganda.
• I completed the Death Road by bicycle in Bolivia.
• I crossed the border from Djibouti to Somaliland by land and then traveled to the remote city of Zeila (taking a tuk-tuk through the Somali desert for more than 7 hours).

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach languages (Portuguese / Italian), I can teach you to cook some of the food I know, and I'm willing to teach anything that is within my reach

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer you a good beer, good stories, help in buying food in the supermarket and a good company. (Besides language and culinary classes)
