COUCH AVAILABILITY




Please NO REQUESTS:
- OCTOBER 23rd
-OCTOBER 30th-NOVEMBER 3rd



Sometimes on weekends I'm not in Padova but you can visit me in the mountains in Primiero Valley, in a small traditional mountain cottage into the wild! Ask me for more infos!



Please check my before sending me a request (but this doesn't necessarily mean that you'll have the couch: the calendar could be not updated or I could have other activities to do!).

LOCATION



I live alone in a 80 sqm apartment located in the west part of Padova, pretty close to the city center.
My area is quite well served by transportation system: one bus line stopping at 30mt from the house, and other two lines located at 5-10 mins by foot, connect it to the railway station in about 20 mins, and the center itself is easily reacheable by foot in about 15 mins and 5 by bike.



COUCH & HOUSE



- There is one spare room with two bed-couches for a person each
- I have an air mattress for two people that can be put anywhere (usually in the guest room)
- In case of need, more space is available on the floor without any mattresses in the same room and in another room (computer room) for 2-4 additional people
- In exceptional cases, also my room is available, with one matress close to mine and space on the floor

Depending on the period and my acceptance of requests, you might or you might not be staying with other guests in the same room. Feel free to ask about it if this concerns you!
I kindly ask you, if possible, to bring a sleeping bag or blankets, because having many guests all the time I can't provide blankets for everyone, and washing blankets after one guest use is a waste of energy.
I don't have pets and I don't smoke. Please respect my house and smoke outside.

A broadband connection with Wi-Fi Access Point is available. You can use my PC, but don't abuse it!
In the summer the apartment gets quite warm being exposed to the sun all day long. There is a fan available but no air conditioning.
Also, there are 3 bicycles available for you to tour the city easily! :)


Wheelchair accessibility: doors are 1,20 meters wide, although my apartment is located at the 2nd floor, and without lift. Please contact me for more details.



COUCHSURFING WITH ME


First of all, please don't ask for a couch with more than 1 month advance time. Why? Because my plans are quite uncertain and I can give certain answers not more than 2 weeks before.
If you want to couchsurf with me, I will consider each request on a 'first come, first served' basis and a confirmation of your stay is needed, otherwise I'll feel free to give the couch to other people. I repeat: You are kindly asked to confirm if I say YES.
Usually I send you my contact information and detailed directions, so please take them with you to avoid any problems! By the way, my number is visible on the profile. If anything changes, please keep me updated through CS message or phone. The communication is up to the guest!

I prefer hosting guests that are able to stay minimum two nights - in order to spend more time toghether and get to know better. If you can only stay one night, no problem, but two and more nights guests will have priority. Latecomers and earlyleavers are not my favourite kind of guests. I enjoy more hosting guests that can spend at least an evening with me to have dinner/talks/drinks/etc.. together.

During the week I am usually busy during the day for work or the writing of my thesis. If I'm not busy with exams and other university activities, I will be glad to show you around the city for a bit, have a pizza or a spritz. My time schedule is always changing according to my activities, so we will see day-by-day.
The best time for me is weekends, usually I'm less busy during weekends, but also during the week I'll do my best to help you! Twice a week (Monday-Thursday) I go swimming in the evening around dinner time (7-8.30pm) and once I go to a cinema-forum so I cannot guarantee my presence.
I'm often away during summer, but I should be able to help you on most times of the year. All what I wrote is subject to changes so please ask anyway :)

The two golden rules, simple advices to keep in mind when staying at my place so we can avoind any misunderstanding:

- Leave everything as you found it
- If you are in doubt, just ask me for anything!

- at my place you will find some advices on how to use the facilities in the house ;)

Note to freeloaders: Just don't expect me to be a full hotel service with free tour, meals and so on included - because I am not. If you stay with me consider yourself lucky :) and be prepared to have other guests around and don't complain, cause I love hosting people :)

WHAT TO SEE AND VISIT


Venice is located at 30 min by train (just 2,90€) from Padova station during all the day from 5 till 24, many times per hour.

If you are coming to Padova, more than just visiting the nearby Venice, spend some time to visit also the historical Old Town city center and the main squares.


A CS wiki page about Padova with many useful tips and some of the places you can visit is here.
A website of the Tourist Information Office is also available: Turismo Padova (including GPS itineraries and audio guides!)

A video with shots from Padova

Guide to traveling by train within Italy



And a final note: please consider the cultural exchange and NOT only the free accomodation.



Couchsurfing Request is very much appreciated or, alternatively, MSN. I will answer as soon as possible saying if the couch it's available at the moment.

Personal Description

Describing myself seems a difficult task, it should be up to the other people to describe me, but I can try:
I love to Know, I love travelling, I love the life and all its challenges, I'm quite rational, but sometimes my irrational-spiritual side comes out.
I think a good description of me are my interests so look at them!
I'm proud to be Italian, but often I'd like to go abroad...

How I Participate in CS

I'm currently Country Ambassador, Geo-fixer for Italy, Event Message Approval Team member, contributor for the Couchsurfing Wiki and glad helping to build a local organisational structure for Couchsurfing.
I'd like to see more inputs and tools to let people operate effectively.

CouchSurfing Experience

Before I joined CS, I've been two times in Germany in the house of a friend of mine, and I slept on a couch with a beautiful view on the Rhine river.

Some Statistics (I love stats and it's just not only numbers!):

I'm involved in CS primarily as a host. Of the thousands requests I received and answered, 266 led to an effective hosting experience. They came through various Hospitality Exchange websites: 63% of them are from CS members! I am also a member of Hospitality Club, BeWelcome and GlobalFreeLoaders.com and they account for the 21% of the remaining requests. 14% of the requests were made by members belonging to more than one network.




My guests


As of August 30th, 2009, I have hosted 429 guests (422 hosted once + 7 more than once) from 49 different countries!!!



Guests nationality stats (as of August 2009)

One Amazing Thing I've Seen or Done

Opinion on the CouchSurfing.org Project

Now, I'm a member since more than three years, and my experience as host and guest has been very very good, I met some of the most interesting people on the planet.
I think it's a beautiful project, and Casey had a clever idea creating it. I think that in the future it will be useful for me, I love travelling and this is a genuine way to do it. You can meet interesting people, know a country with an 'insider''s view...
There are some suspicious people and some profiles do not match the reality of the person, bu mostly we're people that want travelling all around the world, and the friendship/reference/verification system is quite good.
I believe in the idea of Hospitality, that's why I'm promoting this and other websites (Hospitality Club) to trustworthy people.

Tiziano hosted me and my friend Laura for 3 nights in Padova. He is a very friendly, active guy. He showed us beautiful Padova, took us to the movie theatre, special pizza places (best pizza!) and to some really fun places. Ill never forget all the students that wednesday night, or how much fun you can have with spritz ;P
Thank you for everything, and guys: Not only Venice, but Padova is beautiful as well! ;)

It was great being hosted by Tiziano. He was incredibly hospitable, made me and my friend a lovely spaghetti and a delicious espresso. I really enjoyed the hospitality, the conversations and the tour around the city. I doubt whether you can meet anyone more hospitable. I hope he will keep this CS spirit up by hosting loads of people.
Thanks for hosting us!

Tiziano is the man! He is extremely courteous and really great about helping surfers around the area. He is basically a living encyclopedia of Trento. His house is like a hostel as there are usually other surfers around. This really adds to the experience of traveing and meeting new people from around the world. Thanks again Tiziano! See you soon!

He always knows where to go and what to do to have fun! Thank you for everything!

It was fun exploring Padova with his bike, thanks again for that and thanks for the good information you gave me about sightseeing in Padova and Venice.

Tiziano was my first CS experience. And I am soo happy for that. He has so many couchsurfers at his place all the time but he still manages to be a real energy bunny ( in a really good way):D Tiziano introduced us other CS people in Padova and let us try a specific Padova drink ( I can´t remember the name :S, but It was good) I loved the last evening at the piazza del Erbe. Afterwards we sent friends home and then he gave me a ride on his bicycle believe it or not but it was sooooo cool.I also have to mention that he is a good cook!! Thank you Tiziano.

After having read a lot about and from Tiziano we finally got to know each other in person when we stayed in his cool and international apartement for two nights. Tiziano went out of his way to make sure we have a good time, provided us with lots of helpful as well as interesting information about Padova, fed us lovely home cooked food and even tought Birgit a typical Italian receipe. It was a very welcome change to stay in such an ecologically friendly household and whitness the respect Tiziano shows to his environment and our planet. We had lots of fun listening to his stories and sharing a big CS dinner with several other surfers on our last night. We hope to meet up again soon for more fun and maybe even a grape harvesting this time - the only thing we don't need to repeat is the bike accident ;o)

Tiziano hosted me in Padova for 4 days.

I had the best time at his place! He has a lovely apartmnet in a gorgeous location and we had a great CS evening on the first day itself.
And then he organised this fabulous grape harvesting event, which inarguably was the highlight of my italy trip!

He is a very relaxed host and helps you in every way possible. Very kind and easy going. Makes you feel at home!
And he loves his city and will show u arnd is you can manage the time.

Hoep to see you again!

Although I hadn't chance to meet Tiziano, but he did a big favor to me and in the last minutes, he replied to my Couch request,but due to a interesting mistake I went to Sb else house and first I thought that he is Tiziano, any way he really cares for those who go to his city and take care of their affairs,we had a few phone conversations, but we couldn't meet and I deeply hope that I could meet him next time I go to Italy.
have a nice time and thank you again.

all the best

Tiziano is a very enthusiastic CS member! He adjusted quite a big part of his life to be able to host people. Staying at his place is like staying at home. You have all you need, and he is quite flexible to help out or give advice. Next time we are in Padova with Vera we will knock Tiziano's door again for sure ;)

Dear Tiziano,

Thanks for your hospitality and warmth! We surfed with Tiziano for 2 nights, and the experience was great! Tiziano is a friendly, helpful, and fun person. He is also like a walking enciclopedia - this guy knows so much about the world it is unreal=). Makes a delicious spaghetti carbonara=). Tiziano lives in a very nice big apartment conveniently located in the center of the city. And the bakery near his house...mmmmmmm)).
Thank you for hosting us! I hope that you can come and stay with us sometime!

Baci,
Vera.

Tiziano would be a perfect host if he hadnt so boring neighbours. And as said Lucy, if he hadnt so much testosterone sometimes... he he he.
Just kidding... Tiziano is always ready to help his guests with everything... and to invite us to great parties and meetings.

Hope to see you in South America when you go there!

Tiziano hosted me and my sister during the Venice Carnival. At that day he was also organizing the Venice Carnival CS Meeting. Despite that he has took great efforts to make our visit most memorable and comfortable. He has shown us around Padua, lent us bicycles to explore it ourselves and even invited us to ski in the Alps! I am really happy that at the end our visit turned out in such a brilliant way. Tiziano, you are a wonderful person and I will be forever grateful to you. I will let you feel welcome any time you'll be around. And - we have to ski that hill some time! See you next Carnival, or sooner! ;)

He also lent me his bike, which other than being incredibly nice of him, was a really fun way to see the city. He also taught me how to make spaghetti carbonara, which was awesome :) Thank you for hosting me, Tiziano!

Sono stato ospite nella lussuosa tenda di Tiziano. Spaziosa quanto basta, alta il giusto per non restarci incastrato. Tiziano si è rivelato un ottimo anfitrione: non ha tirato calci né russato. CONSIGLIATO! :)

Ciò detto, aggiungo che conosco Tiziano ormai da mesi, e ne ho potuto apprezzare la grande disponibilità sia come ospite sia come organizzatore. E' peraltro un esperto di CS (ambasciatore, mica baubaumiciomicio), quindi può rispondere a (quasi) qualsiasi domanda vi venga in mente al riguardo. Bloody good guy!

Tiziano is one of the nicest, most cheerful, welcoming and sweetest person i ever met :) And one of the best things about him is that after chating with him for few hours, you feel as if you have been really good friends for ages, just haven't seen each other for some time :) So i'm really happy that i came to Italy and stayed in place of Tiziano :) And i hope we will meet again :)
P.S. His place is reaaaaaally great :) P.P.S in Padova i got the possibility to experienced real Italian culture :) Or i think it is real Italian culture :) And Tiziano contributed to this a lot :)

Tiziano was my first CS host, and I must admit I was lucky :-) He hosted both me and my flatmate for 5 days. However after reading his profile (hosted hundreds!) my expectations were different –I expected him to be extrovert. So it came as a positive surprise that my image of him did not fit into who he really is. Instead of being an energy bomb as I imagined him, he turned out to be a nice, calm person, simple, welcoming and trustworthy. I guess he won me over with his never-ending tolerance and the fair attitude with zero prejudice. Enjoyable evenings with him, many of his friends, CS meeting and hiking are just bits and pieces of what he left as a memory.
Hope to see you in Belgrade Super Trouper :*

We’ve firstly met on Hospitality Club, when I was looking for a host in Italy. The couch Tiziano offered for me and my friend was really comfortable. Also it was amazing to find so many Lithuanian things at his place (a calendar, a scarf and especially the big flag!). We’ve chatted, watched photos and made pancakes with chocolate sauce. He gave us some useful tips on traveling with Italian trains. I really wish to meet Tiziano again (Italy or Lithuania even)!

Tizi!!! I found out that I didn't write you a reference yet and I was really a bit ashamed of myself because of that :-$
Well, about Tiziano... I think he definitely is the best Country Ambassador Italy could wish for. I almost can't remember a moment or day seeing Tiziano WITHOUT guests. He is, in my opinion, totally addicted to hosting people. Which is, ofcourse, a good thing. Tiziano has a really sweet, calm and caring character and he will always try to help you in any way he can. That makes him the friend of many many people. I enjoyed alot of meetings in Tiziano's company, but I can say the Verona Summer Garden Party was absolutely the best one. A good closing after almost 6 months sharing the same city and same CS community. Tiziano, keep up the good work and I definitely think you should soon change the fact that you haven't never ever been to the Netherlands. I'm waiting here for you!!! ;-)

He took us to a CS meeting at a local pub in Padova where we meet a lot of other couchsurfers and tried the local very popular drink Spritz!
From the very first contact I had with Tiziano, he provided a lot of great information about transport and how to get around in Padova. He is really trying very hard to be great host for many many couchsurfers!! When staying at his place you always meet a lot of people! He hosted 2 more people while we stayed at his place! 2nd day I was there, I made some Danish cousine for all the people staying at his place! We all had a very nice time and a great night!

I started my trip thinking of breezing through Italy to spend more time in the east. Then I thought about staying a little bit in Venice and see the surroundings. I ended up staying four days in Padova...
I never dreamed of participating to the european mobility day in Padova ; i never thought I would eat sushi for the opening of a new restaurant in town, with people from all over the world ; I never knew I would ride a bike to the hills south of Padova, with a personal guide...
All this I did,thanks to Tiziano ; he is a great host, smiling, helpful and very nice!!

I met tiziano at first in Rome at a couple of meetings that i was organizing. I had soon a very good sensation of him: kind, trustable, helpful etc. Then last summer it happened to meet him again at Sziget for one evening (REM concert) and i did a guided tour for him on the island :)

At least somebody how loved being on lake Balaton. Tiziano was wise enough not to go just to Budapest but tried to see the rest of the country. I showed him parts of lake Balaton and I had a great day. I enjoyed his company so much that I drove him to his host. We have to do this again... Maybe in front of Campanile???

Tiziano is the best couchsurfer ever! he is completly open-minded, nice, open to everybody needing not only a couch, but a friend in italy. he is very active, he always organizes a lot of events for us and he s always ready to join a meeting in verona. therefore i think he s the best Italian country ambassador we could have!

go camping with him :) he will bring a tent especialy for you and there are no instructions on how to behave while using it, so feel free to do whatever you want :) then please leave a positive reference saying "i was surfing his couch" (this is a part i enjoy most, while listening to his comments :)

From the quality time that we spent together laughing and chatting about different subjects, we can say that he is reliable, funny, friendly and easygoing person.

From the moment he picked me up from Trento with his AWSOME SUZUKI 50 years old jeep till he dropped me in the middle of nowhere:D:D:D I enjoyed every second spent with him. He is kinda person who:
-speaks the best ever italian accent:D
-can drive for over 10km without fuel(and makes the car stop exactly at the gas station:D)
-skis without gloves(broavo!)
-hungs around with eastern europeans faaar too much( even worse than me with brazilians and italians:)
-wakes up when first sun light shows up (and wakes ME up 10 mins before he is ment to-what a sin!!!)
-keeps saying: OH MY GOSHKA, CHE BELLO, NOI and beats my arm when I make fun of it(!)
-drinks crap german cappucino with the best apple struddel
-keeps having troubles with finding way back (one night wee ENTERED Bolzano 3 times before we found our host:)
-keeps changing music on his MP3 player when everyone wants to listen to something:D
-falls asleep in the middle of the party after all day skiing:D
-makes me to ski on black slopes what is really dangerous for other pple:D
-loves CURVA PERICOLOSA :D:D:D
and who made my skiing holiday unforgetable!!!! Thank you Tiziano for being such an amazing person(and for not throwing me out from your car when I was making your accent up for the 1000th time). U have a special place in my life now! Kiss!

Tiziano is a real Couchsurfing phenomenon. He has had so many experiences abroad, hosting people at home and attending or organizing events. He really involves himself totally in the CS project that he might personify it on his own ;-). I was also very impressed by his generosity in terms of time, energy and exchange. Had some very nice and fun moments...

Tiziano, formally known as "nut", is a boy very very kind, polite and well-bred with great intelligence! He is a boy that I esteem so much. I think that he is a good companion with which to travel. He, like me, loves the Northern Europe (maybe for different reasons...ha ha ha..joke). I hope to travel soon with him: I think he is an excellent Cicero!!! I really "adore" you Dado.

He was full of nice travel stories and good advice about Padova (what to see, how to move, where to eat.. ), and he also lent me many utilities such as maps, tourist guides, buses timetable ec... He also took me to a pizzeria and for a fascinating night tour of the city.

A really nice guy with a generous spirit. He has a kind of energy around him that just puts you at ease, and it make him a really easy person to get along with. He's also very organized and experienced at couchsurfing, and seems to have contingency plans for everything. He has maps and train schedules, and turn by turn written instructions for how to get to and from his house.

Speaking of his house - it's just about the most ideal location, ever. There's a produce store and an excellent bakery/pastry shop literally next door, and the bus stop is just around the corner. He has wireless Internet, and a kitchen large enough for a few people to comfortably eat, cook, and hang out - it really brings people together, especially when there are other couchsurfers staying at the same time.

I consider myself quite lucky to have been hosted by Tiziano, especially as my request was short notice. It was a great experience, and it gave me a lot of good ideas for how I could be a better host when I get back home. Thanks!

I was in Bologna and i sent an email to Tiziano asking about his couch. Padova is a city near to Venice and I didn't think to go there, but Tiziano shows me some maps and books about and Padova is really nice. I knew Padova in one day and Venice in outher one... Was really incridible. Tiziano is a very good guy, he is friendly and funny. Was just perfect in his house.

Tiziano, I want see you in Brazil...

I've been chatting a long time before we met with Tiziano and he always seemed to me he was very dedicated and that he incarnated the spirit of CS very well, and that he was a very active member. BUT, as a matter of fact, despite living both in the north of italy, till may 2007 our paths didnt cross at all, although i had a sneak preview with the good Giuseppe. So when I told him I was visiting Padova and Venice he responded eagerly, breaking a quite long hosting fasting period. The room is huge and the mattress is very comfortable, and in the morning you get waken up by birds singing. We spoke a lot then Giuseppe arrived with great ice cream... after that we left him at his commitments and we toured a bit this beautiful city but then he reached us, explained how troublesome has been putting a bus int downtown. Eating pizza at Bella Napoli with an entire rugby female team was awsome and then we walked home. After a good sleep we went for breakfast, we knew Roberto and then left for Mestre, he was doubtful before but in the end we came and we had great fun meeting Karim, Icio and lots of others people there you know Mestre is really crowded with guests... our nice trip unfortunately came up to an end but it's just the first round. Tiziano is definitely a good guide, he knows every brick of his city and of the neighbour cities. He also has a very vast culture in every field, be it music, art, architecture... I know I'm losing my time recommending him and his couch because you already know but still I want to be singing in that choir. Thanks for everything Tiziano and we're waiting open arms in Turin for you and whoever wants to come!

Thank you very much for that. Tiziano is a smart guy who is also very talented in languages. Furthermore he is the CS hero in Italy. Tiziano, I wish you all the best in your final exams.

2007: Tiziano came to the Bologna meeting and then later gave an excellent tour of Padua and we had a nice chat over a coffee. He's a very active CSer, long in the program and certainly a very good Italian embassador. I am sure we will meet again - it's a small CS world!!

At BBC Tiziano was only one of many but how good is it to always meet twice.
First time we met again at WWC was at the Volunteer workshop, and as he has already written in his comment for me, we both had very similar ideas about how to organize things. Many people where just sitting around at that workshop and listening, but Tiziano was one of the active ones - right attitude.
After that workshop we met again at the breakfat table of elaija and olao. Originally that was not planned but I just ended up with different hosts cause... that's another story...
...and I must say, I was happy to be hosted at the same place like him because our breakfast together with the rest of hour little big family wher for me one of the highlits of the WWC.
The morning times were always a mix of just chilling, interesting conversation, crazy stories and and and... and tiziano definitely took a big part in making those mornings something special.
What more to say... my words do not always flow... I think you can definitely trust Tiziano and if he is as a great host as he is a guest than I have definitely to visit him!!!
Finally, one more thing to say:
I am very unhappy that I am not living near Frankfurt-Hahn anymore because I got very sad when I saw that I friend of mine hosted him and his girlfriend in that area. What a missed opportunity...

I was going to surf a second time when I returned to Padova but Tiziano had exams and wasn't able to host me, but he still went out of his way to try and find me another host (he didnt find anyone available but it's the thought that counts). Also when I was hosting with him, he tried finding me a host in Rome with all his connections and he gave me many good tips on couchsurfing. Thankz Tiziano!

Homemade gelati. I stayed with Tiziano in Padova and experienced a really warm welcome. We had a family dinner complete with homemade gelati (that was made on the spur-of-the-moment, even though they also served Easter cake, just because I mentioned that I liked gelati!) Tiziano was really easy-going, friendly, and so enthusiastic about making sure I experienced all Padova had to offer. You can tell that he loves his hometown and wants other people to enjoy it. Not only that, but he hosted me while he had another CS guest, SURFCAM, and Cam and I became friends too! So, now I have two new friends!! I really hope that I can host Tiziano someday wherever I end up. He's an honest, unassuming, generous guy and the kind of person that makes CS so wonderful. Before I even met him, I knew that Tiziano was a-friend-hadn't-yet-met... but now I know him and am happy to shorten that to "friend".

such a genuinely nice guy. Tiziano graciously hosted Troy and I for three nights before we went on to Florence. He took us to dinner, introduced us to his friends, gave us a tour of Padova, and helped us each night with train schedules and other things about travel. He is a very sweet and intelligent guy...One of the few who learned Esperanto! Keep in touch :)

thanks to Tiziano and his family! I stayed in Tiziano's apartment in Padova for several days this October. And... I really don't have words to describe him and his family and his place... because only thing I can say -- it was THE BEST PLACE I'VE EVER STAYED AT, THE BEST PEOPLE, THE GREATES FAMILY IN THE WORLD I MET! And no more words, only emotions!!!

He hosted us for 3 nights in Padova. He is a very nice person, friendly and talkative. Thanks to him, we tasted the best pizza in Padova. He gave us good advices to visit Padova and brought us to a fantastic place for dinner in the hills. He is a very good turistic guide. See you soon in Barcelona and good luck in Paris.

Mille grazie. This is a late reference for my stay in June. Tiziano was the first person I surfed with, and it was unbelievable to meet someone so sharing. He met me at the train station, introduced me to friends and helped me practice Italian. His interest in meeting people is unmatched among those I have met. Tiziano, you are welcome in Massachuchusetts. Mille grazie, a presto.

A few days in Padova. Since the first moment I arrived at Tiziano's house he offers his hospitality giving me as much information he could get about trains, sightseeing, buses...and everything I could need. He had no problem in letting me stay a couple of days more than I had told him at the begining. Really nice guy, he actually represent the spirit of couchsurfing.
