To be on the move is something my veins seem to request.
I'm fond of trees, yet I'd never be as sedentary. Taking care of some of them in a couple of places rules the cycles of my path.
So You'd hardly find me in a place without woods.

I cheerfully stepped away from the urban environments and searched out for more suitable realms.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet and host people who travel.
I have been lucky to meet great people through Couchsurfing and I would like to use this network to make friendships and have a good exchange.

Interests

I like trees! Even more when they bear fruits to process into oil, jam, juice, etc.
So I learn about fruit trees and what they need to grow vigorously.
My favourite language is Italiano, but Portuguese and Spanish is fine as well.
I can forget about myself easily in botanical gardens or when I grab a guitar or a map or books on geography or history.
Too much technology drives me crazy, but I adore old handicrafts.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had some of my most valuable lessons during an internship as a gardener in Faridpur, India.
One day, for example, some children gathered around me and legitimately tried to tease me as they might have thought: "Look, this paleface is doin' shit work!"
I cheerfully said "Hi!" or "Namaste", but they made no reply and seemed to be immersed in the enjoyment of patronizing a barbarian.

So anyhow we were toegether and had fun.
