Alessandro Cabella

I met Ale through a friend and we enjoyed a day trip together with some other CS members. He later hosted me and a friend (in short notice!). Ale was great, very friendly and a lovely person, he made sure we were comfortable and had everything we need, including introducing me to some great new music! Thanks!

He host me for 2 nights. He was very good host. Even when he was busy he made sure i have everything i need. and also he has very big couch:)And thanks for teaching me how to work with SLR camera-finally i know how to take good photos:))

Alessandro is a very nice guy. his home is very confortable and warm. We spent few hours together but very intense. I liked mostly the beautyfull restorant we went for lunch.
Hopefully we will see soon in cagliari.

Alessandro was so well recommended by a friend and he really deserves all the good words I've heard about him!!
He hosted me and my boyfriend in Genova, organizing a very nice aperitivo with other couchsurfers, giving us an excellent and very health milk for breakfast, welcoming and hosting us in his amazing house in a very warm way.
See you soon!! :o)

Allesandro is very talkative n nice guy
see you in Brussels :)

What about Cabel?
Our moderator in Genova!!!
With due respect...

Alessandro was a great host to me and two friends. He took us to a great pizza place and to a cute little bar where he knew a band were gigging. Thanks to you (and your Milan friends!) for making our time in Italy so fun..

He hosted three of us no worries, even thought he thought there was only going to be two! He took us out for some great pizza and to a lovely little pub. Met some of his Italian friends...it was so much fun! Thanks Ale!

Alessandro was a great host!
He hosted my two friends and I for a few nights. He was very kind and showed us around the town. I really enjoyed the meal we had together with him and his friends from Milano in his parents house in the mountains. Thank you!

he's The Boss in CS Genoa...
follow the leader!!!

He's the kindest boy I've ever met! Thank you for saving my life with water and sugar!

 

Alessandro is a fantastic person. I met him in occasion of the notte bianca at santa margherita ligure. We spent a great time together, and he as been so nice to stay with us until we took the train to come back to milan (5 o'clock in the morning !!!). He's an outgoing person, very sensitive, funny and caring about other people. People like Alessandro make Cs a better community !!!

very kind and hostful

Great guy!
I met him in Santa Margherita for the Notte Bianca, we spent together the whole night, listening to Roy Paci's "friends" and on late night a group of crazy local musicians. Alessandro was crazy like them!
He very kindly stayed with us till 4.30 am with all his tiredness...! True CS spirit! Hope to meet you soon Ale!

Molto simpatico. non ostante il caldo è rimasto a sentire tutta la nostra serata di §ROCK !!!!!

alessandro is the best person ever in the genovian group .... i dunno why i forgot to make a reference about u .... it was really nice to meet him ... he is a super nice active interesting amazing guy

wish u all the best man

 

It was great to stay at Alessandro's place. He gave us great infomation about hiking and he was so kind to look after our bags too while we were away in the mountains. Thanks! Our time wouldn't have been the same without meeting and hanging out with you!

It was my first couch surfing experience and Allessandro made it, that now I am really convinced about this idea!! It was so nice staying with him and that he showed me the nice places of Genova and the great Pizzeria. I loved this fresh- Milk coffee in the morning . And I really look forward to come to Genova again with more time. Thanks to Allessandro for making me a surfer :)Kathrin

Thanks man for the last-minute couch, it was really great of you! I spend one night at Alex place and it was a nice experience.

Alessandro has an incredible sense of hospitality, of trusting and helping people, and a great conversation! Despite his fifteen different jobs, he always found some time for me. He's the perfect guide if you want to visit Genova and have a bit of laugh looking at San Lorenzo cathedral. Ale, you know what I mean!

I was happy to be Alessandros guest for a weekend. He is a generous host and a good companion, aslo makes delicious penne con speck and panna! The appartement is lovely, and so is Genova, hope to be back there once! Grazie mille!

Alessandro is a really nice host and person in general, he hosted us for one night in which we had a great dinner converstation and music all in one pack (I love love this band!). Then on the day after he took us with his friend for a relaxed trip in the seaside town of Nervi. I enjoyed a lot and I definataly would like to do this again. Thank you!

He is a so kind guy. It was a bad weather when I visited Genova. But he show me around there. It was fun, like a timetrip for me. Thanks to him, I could get a great experience. It was better if I was able to talk well in English.

We spent a short time together, but he is fun and he also has great hospitality. I can't recommend him enough. Thanks for the experience.

wow, ale, you're right...what a shame...
well, it's absolutely correct that he is ambassador! he proves an incredible hospitality, and beside that he's a really kind person! i'm happy to know you!

Alessandro è una persona molto positiva, che lascia allegria ovunque si trova.
Accogliente, ordinato, preciso, generoso...un perfetto couchsurfer!

 

Alessandro had hosted me and Omar for two days in Genova. Even thought he had to work lot of hours, Alessandro told us useful information about Genova original and particular places to visit and all together went around for narrow streets at night. He is a very helpful guy who bends over backwards for his guests. We are very grateful for his hospitality.

Alessandro is a very nice and helpful person.. talking to him is a great pleasure: you feel confortable sharing ideas with him. he loves his town. an intelligent guy

Favoloso

Ale is a really nice guy, full of energy and a bit crazy ^^ ( he had a swim the 1 of January in the sea!!). And surely he has got a smile for u !! :D
see u soon friend :)

Ale is a friendly, smiley, kind and open-minded person, always calling me back even if I'm really bad with telephone calls -meaning I don't answer and maybe don't call back either...so I think I should say that he's patient, too.

beautiful and harmonically atmosphere at alessandros place
thank you for the nice time!

 

Very very kind person. My second beautiful experience of cs!

Very nice person, positive and well mannered. I hope to meet him again for a little more time. See you soon!

nice man!mind not to have found a solution to spend one more day in my city. but hope next time.luigi

 

Ale is the best roomate ever! He is sweet, polite, friend and companion. He makes me feel confortable and safe by his side.. Ok, starting to the end: as every good italian, he was one of the guilties for the pounds I have purchased here. And for one thing I will never forgive him: he and Sandro stole my idea of the sea-bath on the first day of the year! I hope, at least, that it brings luck to all of us! Hope to see you soon, my friend.

Ma come (imagine my hands)?!?
A dopo...

Update: After our meeting in Genova he confirmed me the great first impression and I can also say that now he knows how to do the best brazilian caipirinha in Italy!!!

 

I met lot lot lot of people through CS, but I've been wonderfully surprised by Alessandro thank to vitality coming out of his face :) he's just a pure lover of life, and then even of a super freezing swim in the sea on the 1st day of the year :))) I'm still cold for him! Definitely someone to be friend with from the very first moment! :)

 

great Ale ... sincere and transparent ... you can see him right away that you can trust

 

I met Alessandro first in Pizza party in Tuscany then in a big NYE party in Taormina! He is always a surprise, polite and most important brave for have a swim in 1 of january! Monumental!

What a sweet and fun to be with person! We did not have the time to talk enough, but what I liked most in Alessandro is that he is smiling all the time and he is really good in making company and spending time with.

I stil cannot believe you did swimming on New Years Day! BRRRRRR!!!!! :D!

I already miss him! One word: he is magic!!! Little words for a great person. Thanks, Ale, to be my friend and to have spent your time with me. I am sure we will meet again many times.
NEWS: Feb 2009, we surfed the same couch!!!*

We met during the meeting "fête des lumières" in Lyon and had short talks. Nice guy, positive and easy going.

 

I met Alessandro in many meetings in Genova. He is a nice, friendly and funny guy with a smile ready for everyboby! I think he is by far the most active guy in the couchsurfing community of Genova!

 

I met Alessandro in the tram party during the 2nd birthday in milano then he has come in Lyon for the Festival of light. Alessandro is always smiling, in a good mood , and he is a very friendly guy .

 

Very energetic and entusiastic couchsurfer, the best attitude!:)
UPD (Sep '09)
Thanks to his help and entusiasm I had the best time in Genova, which is now onw of the cities in my heart. Grazie Alessandro for your CS motivation and organization!:)

 

Alessandro is a nice and generous guy.
When is not going around with is photo-gun and taking pictures is a good companion to take a beer with.

 

Ale is a cool guy, nice to discuss with and a very gentle host. Plus, he likes to party, drink and he can eat what I cook. :p
Thanks for staying at our home, and I hope I'll see you again in your nice country.

 

ale was very cool last night at the Lyon's party! I think it will be funnier to re-meet ourself in Taormina for the last year's day yeahaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!


janunary 2009

me and ale did the first year's day of 2009 the bath in the sea of Taormina... it was amazing... now we'are close friendssssssssssssssssssss ;)))

 

Alessandro is a very nice guy from Genova, one of my favourite Italian cities, and well, there he's the most active guy :) I met Ale in Milano at the Mi too meeting in September 2008, then we met again for the AMBCS aperitive and sushi. Always great and smart guy to talk with, always taking photos like me :D see you soon, maybe in Genova!

Alessandro is a very hospitable person. He is funny and open. I will never forget the pizza we had together and even more the family lunch with him and his mother. Thank you!

Cheerful, sociable and easygoing guy!
I really enjoyed hanging out and talking with him.
Also a great chef: you have to taste his "Tortino di riso", mmmmm so delightful!

Alessandro is a great guy. We met many other couchsurfers while we stayed, had a great dinner and wine and had a very comfortable bed. All was good. Genova is Beautiful!!

Alessandro is a very good person! I surfed by him for two days and I feel a princess! He always smiles and has a lot of wonderful ideas. At present I meet him for a coffee or a drink or for a walk in the most hidden and wonderful corners of the "caruggi" in Genova. It could happen that we'll become vampires or pirates... ;-)
Thank you for everything and for your friendship Ale!
simona

Aleeee...your WHITE FACE through the candle light is one of my.....nightmare!!!ahahahah!!...but...your great generosity and availability pass over every bad imagine!!I joke....naturally!!TENX for all......sure we'll see soon!!kissssssss

Alessandro has always a nice smile to give to everyone and just staying near him you can feel the simplicity he's able to express. It's really a good feeling. We'll meet again for sure!

we spoke of a lot of things and I appreciated his a very kind and honest person who knows to spek and to listen...

Ale is an openminded, warm, active and very positive person!!!
We had nice talks...I felt comfortable at his place from the first moment...
Ale is always good company and I hope I'll see him again soon.

Lost in BERGAMO, Alessandro host me for one night and i would like to thanks him for his hospitality.

Ah well - as we share this happy characteristic - what's *your* secret Alessandro? :o) Perhaps it is the enjoyment of the good people of CouchSurfing. Life is Good!

I first contacted Alessandro for my first CS experience in august 2007 but he wasn't in Genova at that time and finally we met during a tram party in Milano one year later! At least! Was easy to talk with him, even if he was hidden behind his camera :) Next step : Festival of lights in Lyon! See you there!

..interesting guy, smiling, funny, the best of Cs's Genova Group!!! :D

I really nice and fun guy!
Hope being your model again! :D
I'm waiting for our pictures!!!
See you in Genova.. Soon...

Smily person, CouchSurfing Ambassador!

 

Alessandro is the perfect gentleman. Always smiling to everyone, chatting and knowing everybody. True CS spirit inside a very quiet guy. See you very soon Alessandro =)

Thanks for hospitality
I spent 3 days with my friends in Genova.
It was great time, nice city and beautiful harbors
Aleksandro took us from station and we spend amazing evening with his friends in Genowa by night:) He cooked for us excellent dinner- thanks for all!

 

a very active and nice guy into CS so I'm sure I'll have the chance to meet him other times. see ya!

 

Well, Ale spent quite a bit of time trying to convince me (against my logical, fact-based scientific arguments) that Animal is human. And he talked to me like one talkes to a friend. And he was just simply wonderful host. Gentle, trustworthy, warm, understanding, what do you want more? ;)

Update: I went back to his place. There must be some magic in the air since it is the place where I always manage to work one week's worth in one day. I guess it's because it's so easy to feel like home with Ale.

Alessandro is a really nice guy, very gentle, helpful and easy going! He hosted me for one night in his wonderful flat – downtown Genova. We hang out with other CS for the NOTTE BIANCA. The day after we’ve been to the beach in S. Margherita Ligure and we had dinner in his parents’ house – very kind people!

I'll come back soon to visit better Genova. Thank you very much!!!!

Ale is really gentle,helpful and easy going!He hosted me,gave me many helpful informations and enjoyed a good time with very friendly people and other couchsurfer in the city!

i met ale in Genova.He is so nice and sensitive person! never forget our conversation about love! good luck for all!

All started with concidence when i was siting with a friend of mine in the caffee and by chance...Alessandro was in the nearest table. What a joke of destiny it was!He is very helpfull (especially in crashing locks!:))),funny and extremely kind guy.I think we would see each other again cause Milano and Genova are so close:)))

We met twice in Genoa, trough the GENOVA e DINTORNI Group... he is the real AMBASSADOR, and I hope we can organize soon something to make Genoa more and more CS addicted! hehehe

We met in Genova during my trip around Liguria. We spent a nice evening together eating and chating with him and the other CS guest.He left us his keys so we wrere independent. It'sbeen nice to meet him.

Allessandro was fabulous, he stayed really consistent as I was trying to make it from Venice to Genoa all summer and kept running into scheduling conflict. Alas, it was worth it. I made it to Cinque Terre, almost as beutiful as Venice, and I owe it all to Allessandro. He even bought me cappucino in the morning.

Allesandro is a breath of fresh air. He continued to be willing to host me,and pro-actively got back to me continuously so that I could stay in Genoa. I didnt get to spend much time with him but I hope we cross paths again

I have both hosted and been hosted by Ale. He made me visit Genova , taste Genova's culinary specialties, gave me some useful advice for my trip... He's a really nice guy, talkative and always willing to help, perfect host and guest. You're welcome back anytime!

 

Alessandro is a nice guy. I've enjoyed the evening cooking, talking and night street/harbour walking (and photographing) in the beautiful city of Genova with him!

alessandro is really helpful and nice with me as guest, we spent a couple of nice aperitives in genova, and he host me one night, he is talkative easygoing,generous always smiling!!...well just meet him and you'll discover how nice he is!you're more than welcome in florence alessandro!

Ale is a very kind host, a perfect touristic guide and a good sailor! I'll come back soon to visit better Genova and to have another trip with your boat! thank you

 

Although I had mixed up the date of our arrival, Alessandro kindly hosted me and my wife for one night and gave us some useful advice for what to see in Genoa (by the way - we LOVED the city), a very friendly guy for sure, sorry we didn't see much of you because of the already mentioned mix-up

Alessandro is great host, he makes you feel at home in his beautiful and extraordinaryflat in the center of Genova. We have some common passions: Mare, Focaccia, Manu Chao and CS - however I have to say, he is one of the biggest CS champion I have ever met - so I cannot make any paragones with myself. Alessandro lets you in his home and gives you insight to his life, through meeting with friends, cooking for you and showing you around in this city just above the sea :-)

 

We met by 'coincidence' and had a great time! It was at the end of June that we went to the SUQ festival in Genova where we had a nice international dinner with some other CS-friends. The next day we had a nice chat at the San Lorenze square. Always smiling and laughing, an extremly positive person!

 

Funny and friendly!

 

My brother and I stayed with Ale for one night in Genova. Ale is a great guy and wonderful host. He took us to a great pizzeria nearby which was very cool! Hopefully he will make a trip to Minnesota next time he is in the US.

 

Alessandro is a great guy, intelligent and fun. I met him in CS, and we had dinner together in Genoa, with some friends. It was a great time! However, be careful with him: he can destroy your taste for Van Gogh. Now, I just can see Van Gogh paitings like a big vector field =P . Anyway, he is a great chef =) . Grazie!!! Ciao.

 

This guy is good like bread, super generous and kind! Don't miss the chance to know Ale! And on top of it he's a compaesanooo =D

I spent just 1 night with Alessandro and it was great !
I met his friends e joined togheter !
great

Alessandro is the CS spirit himself. I shared a wonderful weekend in Rome hosting him in my small flat. We got a lot of fun cooking, eating, walking, visiting exhibitions, sharing art, meeting people, watching footballmatches and talking talking talking.

He is one of the most easy going, sensitive, polite and sweet guy I have ever met. Plus you always have the sensation that you know him from edges! I truly recommend Alessandro, he is just a wonderful person! See you soon, and you know already that whenever you want you are welcome at my place, ok? A presto!!!

 

Alessandro, you are a such a funny italian guy from Genova. I liked it very much to be in Pistoia with you. Keep always your extremely good humor. Go on like this. Take photos as much as possible. We will see us surely soon again.Ciao e a presto da DIDI

UPDATE 22/07/2008
Now I was for 3 days in Genova. I spent a wonderfull time with Alessandro we went to Nervi and met some friends. We visited also a great african market even if I was ill in the stomach! It was a great pleasure to be together with Alessandro, the CS-Boss of Genova. Now it is your turn to come to Wiesbaden. Il migliore per te!!

..................

Ale is a great guy, when my friend and I first arrived we did not know how to get to his house so he meet us at the bus station and had dinner waiting for us! Very sweet and fun, we got to go and have a real Italian lunch with his parents! A very great man, happy to host him with he comes to California.

Alessandro hosted my friend and I for a night with only a few hours notice. We went out for dinner and had a nice time. He also trusted us with house keys which was very useful and appreciated!

meeting him at BARBARALEVIC 's awesome supper!! nice guy!!!

 

Although he's grown up, he's young at heart and very open-minded, plenty of resources and initiative, despite he's a bit shy (and girls go crazy for that!).

As an host, he's keen and available, gives and demands respect in a nice way.

He's also good in cooking, and will make you have the full taste of Genova!

Signor conte Alessandro saved my life for 2 nights in crazy city of Genova!
I had really great time with him and his future wife - signorina Angela!:)
Atillio Lombardo pelato bastardo!!!

alessandro is a good ambassador... even if he doesn't wake up the saturday morning ;-)
it was funny to see him drunk just after a glass of wine!!

 

Ale was a really wonderful host! He really wanted to make us feel at home in his (very nicely located) flat! We had a great time on a day trip to Santa Margherita and Portofino, and my friend and I really enjoyed cooking dinner for him one night. He is always welcome to stay with us in San Francisco!

He was all the time took pictures to the people at
pizza fest event, he got in touch with everybody just with his smile and his kindly way to talk.

Im not sure if Genua would be so charming and friendly without Ale's smile:)He was extremly helpfull and nice,it was my first couch experience and I even didn't expect it would be so positive:)and there is a chance we will meet somewhere ..Padova,Poland,Sardinia...who knows?:)

He is really friendly... I'm sorry I can't partecipate to most of the nice trips he and the Genoa CS Group organize!

I met him in my house because he's Ivana's friend , we also meet us in the invasion of Barcelona and we spent a pleasant afternoon .He's great fun, and talk active.I hope see you soon in Genoa.

Ale!Ale!!you need more tranquility!..He is a really kind guy, always minded to help and to organize new meeting!..sometimes he can do just a little bit of confusion, but..he is Alessandro!he result always great!

You are good guy, it was nice to meet you in Genova. Perhaps we will meet again some day, I'll stay there long enough :)

So if you'll organize any new meeting, do not forget about me ;-)

Alessandro is a nice person ... he is caring and kind to all people ... we didn't have so much time to know each other well, it was just one night and before he was busy in the BCN counter invasion, may be next time.
I think also there was a language barrier between us ... because my Italian is not so good.

 

Just met Alessandro a couple of times, but circumstances haven't let us share more than few time. I realized is a camera-addicted guy ;o) and he has a big heart. We'll meet for sure several times again!

 

Alessandro was an amazing host. He leads an incredibly busy life but encouraged us to join him. We did. He gave us a glance of his life. It was wonderful. He has a wonderful couch and a wonderful heart. Hopefully one day he will surf our couch when we have one. Thanks Ale

 

Met this funny and kind guy in a Milan Picnic, and by chance i sat next to him first, so we had the pleasure to discover that we have many things in common other than the passion for coloured glasses... hope to meet him again in front of a big slice of Focaccia di Recco. Thank you Ale!!!
Update 08/27/2007: and fiunally we met in Genova, not for focaccia but for something like a dinner in a ehm... embarassing place but still we managed to have great fun. After saying he would've hosted 1, he eventually hosted 4 with no problem!!! This is an example for everyone of us!!!
Update 10/23/2007: hosted him for Mirtillina's Graduation Party, and of course he was a perfect guest, shooting nice pictures and enterteining everyone with his respectful humour.
March 2008 Update: Ale hosted me, Mirtillina and Giovanna for a funny night around Genova. He brought us to good Trofie and Ravioli with fish stuffing, and organic beer. The day after, he stuffed me with fogassa and tried to keep me away from CDs giving me wrong informations... but he couldn't help! :-P

Alessandro is a really generous guy, always ready to organize events of top level!
His dinner with Julia, David and Al_Blau was just perfect!

 

Alessandro is a very nice and openminded guy! It's impossible NOT to like him! We had a lot of laughs together and good conversations. He organized a party for us where we had the chance of showing our German cooking skills;) and met some of his friends. We went to a salsa dancing place afterwards and Alessandro made us enjoy our stay in Genova! We hope to meet him again, maybe at our place:)

Really nice open friendly person.

Alessandro, thanks for a single, but very pleasant night in your beautiful home. Barbaralevic recommended me directly to you for staying one more night in Genua. So, finally for me it was a perfect journey and you are the one, who made this possible! I wish you all the best and happy couchsurfing experience!

Ale is a very friendly person. We unfortunately spend much too less time since he had quite much to do. Still he invited us for breakfast, cooked for us and even left us a key so we could leave his home after him. Ales apartment was a very comfortable place to stay. It was nice to meet another Dream Theater fan! Maybe we'll meet in Berlin :)

Intense moments!Time was runned but I got a nice view & I smelt a nice porfume of Genova with Ale. He helped me, with a such kind way, to tuch whatever I wanted and also to get some news about Liguria' s Cost and Harbor efficiency.I wait him for dancing samba!

 

I met Alessandro several times, first in Punta Chiappa meeting summer 07, close to his place and then when he's been caming up to Torino, usually hosted in Ale's house. I know him as a very nice, intersresting, coltivated, smart and reliable person that puts him where he is in his role of Ambassador for Genova, and despite his very quiet ways I know he likes and knows how to enjoy with people and have fun. I'm sure we are going to have many occasions to have good time togheter.

Ciao Alessandro !
Thanks for letting me sleep at your place for 2 nights... It was a pleasure to meet you and a good experience for my first time in couchsurfing. You made me enjoyed my stay in Genova. You are obviously welcome at my place ! So a presto...

 

Alessandro, you're very special and I am happy to get to know you more and more. You're very generous, sweet and positive and it's a pleasure spend time with you. You are giving and you are always open and in a good mood, always cheerful and ready to organize things with old and new friends. Thank you!

 

Ale was a fantastic CS host (my first!), was a lot of fun and extremely generous with his time! I certainly learnt a lot about Genova and Italian culture while surfing as well as hosting Ale.

I met Alessandro at CS mexican dinner in Torino. I haven't got much chance to talk to him, but I think he is a nice person.

 

I met Alessandro at Mirtillina's graduation party and it was a pleasant encounter. Alessandro is truly kind, he has a sincere attitude towards people and he likes to have fun! and....last but not least ...he was the official photo reporter of this event!!!
really a great guy!
UPDATE January 2008
I hosted Alessandro fro a last minute surf and it was a great pleasure: he's really smart, considerate and sensitive; besides he arrived with "focaccia" directly from Genoa.....delicious and the morning after we had my favourite breakfast: capuccino and focaccia!!! it reminded my childhood.....wow!!!!
Alessandro, thank you for coming!

We met in Torino for a very funny dinner, with a lot of Couchsurfers!!! The firt impression i had was very positive and at the end of the eveninf it was confirmed!!!!! ps. I like his pictures :-)

 

We spent some time together at a CS dinner and then we go to dance with other Couchsurfers. I think he's a good person and I've had a good impression about him. I hope to see you again.

Alessandro is a nice person. Very kind and a friendly guy!
We had only the opportunity to talk during the dinner and not for a long time . the next time will be better.
He cames from the city that in my heart is second only to Turin.

Alessandro is a really nice, generous guy. I stayed two nights with him and had a great time. He took me to a CS party on the second night, which was a lot of fun. Thanks for helping me get to know Genova and for showing me a good time, Ale!

Alessandro is a great person and I am very thankful that he was our host! Since we couchsurfed on weekdays Alessandro was working and unfortunatly we didn't have that much time to spend together. Still he gave us a lot of good local information about Genova and our last night he arranged a CS dinner - we had such a great time!! Thank you!! Alessandro is a very nice and caring person and I look forward to see him again!

 

i was hosted by him one night. he's a very cool guy, very open minded. i sent him the message to be hosted just the day before arriving, so thanks again!

Alessandro was very accommodating to my ever-changing time of arrival. He hosted me for one night during my conference. A very generous and welcoming person! Thanks for everything!

 

Alessandro is a wonderful guy, a wonderful host, a wonderful guest and a wonderful company for travelling around!!!
... and, I bet, a wonderful actor too... but I can't say it now... I'll be in Genoa for your next play Ale! ;D

 

We met after dinner in Recco during Punta Chiappa meeting,we briefly talked but I immediately felt well tuned with him.
He's sociable and very kind and ABOVEALL one of few LIGURIAN csers who came at meet ;-).
Hoping to meet u soon just to have more time to know better each other and why not try to organize another meet in liguria with more native csers!TBC
*** UPDATE ***
we met other times, traveled together and had the same host. It's always a pleasure to talk with him, always caring and a real good listener. CU soon!
****UPDATE****
I've been his guest in Zena, spent great time together,he's really an excellent host, if u think to go to Genoa, ask for his couch, you won't regret!
And NEVER MONKEY ANOTHER MONKEY'S MONKEY ;-D
*****UPDATE*****
It's more than one year we've met and I'm so glad to have a Friend like him :) reliable,sensitive,trustworthy and always thinks positive :)

this dude is a CSurfer pro!! highly reccomended! :D

Ale is a very interesting and sensitive guy, he loves theatre and we spent hours speaking about it, first because we saw a play in Genoa, then because he showed me the play script of his theatre classes and he teached me tricks to play a role!! He was extremely kind to me and I had a very nice time with him at the electro music festival and at the sea, another of his big passion.. he swims like a fish!!! ;)

UPDATE: I finally hosted him at my place!! we went together to a metal music concert that I really appreciated!! thanks for getting me involved, I think I would have never tried it if it wasn't for you!!

 

I've met Alessandro first at hike meeting in Val di Susa but I had the chance to talk more with him at the picknick gathering in Milan! Such a lovely guy! He accepted to be integrated in human pyramid! Hope to see him again perhaps in Liguria!!
UPDATE: Despite his kind invitations to Liguria I've met him already twice in Milan, the last time he was hosted by my flatmate and we had a nice post concert conversation. Always smiling and polite, I wish you all the best with your projects!

Alessandro is my City Ambassador, to me he is an Institution!!!Just kidding!I met him during a Cs meeting in Genova and I really enjoyed to talk by person with him. He is a very lively guy with a great sense of humor.

even though my stay was short, ale was such a kind and generous host to me. he is friendly, easy-going, and genuinely interested when talking to people. i had a great time talking, eating together, and even salsa dancing. he also gave me great city recommendations when he was busy working - thank you! i hope to host you in the united states someday soon (after ireland ;) ).

 

Alessandro was a lovely host despite my litle bit of a last minute disaster. He included me in the Numero Uno Genova CS pizzaparty ;-) so thank you for that too! AND he shares my taste in music, what more we could ask for? Hope to see you sometimes again, xxx

Alessandro was very kind of hosting us with such a short advice! We arrived late @night and left very early in the morning... so was a shame not be able to spent more time together! He lives in the ancient center of Genova where all the night life is taking place and has a very cosy house and couch! Hope you realize all your dreams ALE! Good luck and Thanks a lot! :D

My first memory in Genova will always be Alessandro's enormous smile when he came trotting down the street. Always on the verge of laughing, we had an awesome time and some great conversations.

We met a couple of time, and he helped me to host some last minute guest showing all his kindness and avalability towards others.

 

He is a very kind person and it's nice to spend time talking with him.

Alessandro seethes with goodwill and humanity. Sensitive, fun-loving and a great conversationalist. Hope to see you again soon Ale.

Alessandro is a very welcoming and hospitable guy who seems to laugh always. We really enjoyed his company and have to apologize for stealing his sleep.

Very very kind :) I hope to meet you again!

Ale is kind, a friendly and altruist person.

Very likeable and friendly. He hosts my first guest and so we met to drink something (we live near!!!)... an interesting meeting... Now, after 2 month, I can say Ale is a very sincere and precious friend. We go to dance or to have a breackfast together sometimes... and it's always a good time!!!!

 

Alessandro is a really nice guy! First time i met was in a meeting in Milan in may and we didn't chat very much, then he came again to another meeting in Milan with my favourite focaccia from Genoa! Great guy!

Hope to meet him very soon.

I met Ale in Alps. then I came one rainy day to Genoa and I found warmth in his cosy flat. he showed me Santa-Margherita and Portofino - two angles of paradise on the earth and helped to get to Nizza. I am really happy that life gave me an opportunity to know this wonderful kind person!

We met for a beer in Genova. I wanted to dinner wiht the original pesto sauce but it was impossible because the hour.. :( But we spent a good time with interesting conversations!!

Alessandro has been really kind. Despite only giving him a few hours to answer to my request, he said yes! He is nice, friendly and easy going. Definitely someone to go to in Genova. :) Molto grazie!

I've met Ale at the "Summer never ends 2007" meeting and then he was my host in Genova. Ale is very nice, friendly and open-minded guy and he was very patient to explain me many strange things for me in italian languge. Thank you Ale, hope see you angain soon!

Hei Ale you are always welcome in my house....ti aspetto in Sicilia, Ciao Ale

 

Alessandro was very kind with me in Genoa, because he picked me up at the railway station and showed me around in the city centre, discovering palaces, squares, churches and panoramas.
Although I couldn't stay overnight in his house, he invited me to his place for a drink and, wow, he has a marvellous house!
A few months later he drove to Torino with other couchsurfers from USA, had dinner in my house and on the following day all together we went to the CS easy hike meeting in Valsusa.
Talking with Alessandro is a pleasure, because he knows a lot and since he is calm and relaxed, he puts you in the best mood.
Update September 2007: I met again Alessandro during Milan and Pistoia meetings and stay in touch through emails.

 

Alessandro is very nice person...is very generous.that care about the other person.we meet in the meeting in Recco.He host me and other 3 person in his house in Genova and he gave us a big big breakfast.he was the first person that hosted me.a good experience.thanks.hope to meet he again.

I’ve spent two nights in Genova at Alessandro’s home, he was really kind and friendly to me proving his positive references.
Genova is quite different from any other northern Italian cities and I suggest to everybody to visit it to catch it’s particular charm.
Thanks Alessandro, the typical and tasty meal based on “trofie al pesto” was very good!

 

We walked together for long time in the alps when he came in Piedmont, I was happy to meet him again in Punta Chiappa.
So 1-1. Next meeting in wich region?

Alessandro is a very nice and friendly couchsurfer. I stayed 2 nights in his very comfortable couch with my boyfriend. He always tried to speak to us in our language (French). We shared some breakfasts and had good conversations with him.
Thanks Alessandro!

 

cool guy pleasure to meet him but very short i will come back ciao don t miss to meet him.

Ale is an extremely friendly guy who never stops smiling!!! He hosted my friend and I for two nights and we both had a fantastic time going out to dinner with him and to the port at night.
We hope to come back to Genova to see him again sometime
Thanks Ale :)

 

Great Host. Funny, intelligent, likes photographie a lot. He prepared delicious coffee for breakfast. And he also took us to an openair concert at the port.

Alessandro was an excellent host. He provided me with everything I needed and took me for a fun night out in Genova. Thanks Ali!

Alessandro received us in his apartment in Milan for two days. Even though he was busy with work he was very attentive and even organized a dinner with his friends in which he cooked a great dish of pasta with pesto, a traditional Genovese dish :)

 

I have meet Alessandro in Hiking on the Alp and in Genova meeting..! he is so frendly, so positive guy, we spent some time around the city where he live.

Allesandro is great! We had a great day in Genova, Portofino and San Margherita where we spent a nice evening in the pub, drinking beer.
He knows lots of interesting facts about Italy and his region. He is polite and very friendly!
Finally, he is a brilliant photographer and exclusive design of his appartment is amazing!!! Best wishes, Alle!

Alessandro is really a nice guy,he is allways ready to have fun and smile to everyone...look forward to meet him again..

Alessandro is a great host, really flexible and accomidating! I'm sorry we had to leave so early in the morning and didn't get to spend more time out on the town with him. Thanks for the good times in the great map you drew!

he is very amazing man, and very friedly, we spend nice days in Genova. We didnt have too much time together, but it was very interesting to meet he.
thank you!!

Alessandro made me feel so welcome to the group in Milan, we talked a about music, films and yes Skunk Anansie! I really wish to meet him again someday.

 

He's a really funny guy and a great cook. We spent a nice day together and I hope to keep in touch at least to exchange recipes :)

Alessandro is such a nice person and I like his taste in food. I enjoyed eating dinner with him in Berlin and listening to his stories.

 

Alessandro is a really nice and humble guy and he brought some excellent pesto genovese for our inofficial CS dinner. We spent a fantastic evening with some other CSers and I look forward to seeing him again in Italy!

 

It was a pleasure to me you Alessandro! How surprise was I to meet an Italian outside Italy ;)! Even if we lose you a couple of time in Berlin City (because you were taking pictures while we were walking), we still had the opportunity to enjoy a good Italian coffee together. Hope to see you again, may be in Italy, Genova is beautiful!!

 

Alessandro stayed with me for 3 nights in May 2007. He is an interessting and communicative guy. brought me some nice italian pesto... he joined my other surfers & me for museum, sushi and a cs-meeting. Would host you again, see you in Italy!

 

I was introduced to Alessandro through another CS friend. He was so nice to drive me from Genova to the CS meeting! He's a paparrazzi in disguise, and is working on a CS calandar... I think that April is taken :P Thanks for everything! hope to meet at the next CS meeting!

I met Alessandro during the CS meeting in the Alps and he seems to be a really kind and sociable guy, as well as a very passionate photographer! Can't wait to see his pictures of the hike!

 

We had dinner together and then hiked at the CS meeting in the Alps. Alex is very kind and open for a pleasant conversation. I'll be pleased to meet him again.

 

Allesandro was kind enough to host me with just under 72 hours notice. He is not only a cordial host, but also a really fun guy. He made my stay in Genova and a trip to Torino spectacular. Gratzie!

I met Alessandro only for a drink, but it made me wish I had more time in to discuss more ideas and talk more about our experiences and hopes!

Alessandro is a great host. He loves his city and knows how to make you love it to. He was very busy but took me all over Genova with him and also to Porto Fino! He wanted me to discover local food and recepies so I ate like a queen:) Thx Ale!!

Ale is very open, friendly and sincere person. I did not need to ask for something I wanted to do or see - he suggested just what I would have preffered myself! We spent a delightful day together among the ships in Genova harbor and in the narrow streets of the old town, saw the sunset from the hill and explored some unusual night clubs around his place. And talked about thousand things, of course... Unforgettable!
