ABOUT ME

In 2007 I joined Couchsurfing just before my first trip to Italy. I was hosted in Naples and met tons of nice people through my host! My Italian journey continued to the other side (Bari) and down to Palermo Sicily. This first experience got me hooked and when I got home, I hosted many people from all different countries and cultures.

I also travelled several other countries in south Europe and met people I will never forget. Couchsurfing has been a revolution in my life!

For me, this is what makes life great:
freedom, honesty, Internet, food, beauty, art, nature, happiness, pride, boldness, traditions, creativity, the sea, chocolate, coffee, Wikipedia, progress, gratitude, cinema, photography, success.......
