CURRENT MISSION

When I can't travel to the world, I let the world travel to me.

ABOUT ME

I love traveling and meeting new people, learning different cultures and sharing these experiences with anyone who enjoys it as well. My greatest passions are music, nature, sports and photography: I often try to blend them and when I manage to do so I never get bored or disappointed.

As the best getaway from the chaotic and frantic everyday life, I enjoy praticticing Yoga and meditating to align my inner self, improve my self knowledge and be at peace with the world.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe through kindness and openness one can always discover something awesome and new.
"Treat the others exactly how you'd like to be treated" and "Be the change you wish to see in the world" go beyond every religious belief and can help us all getting along with one another.

One of the most ambitious goals in life is living in the "Here and Now"...hard to achieve, but two good ways to succeed are enjoying every single moment of happiness and, above all, counting our blessings..."Happiness is wishing for the things you already have".

“Viajar é trocar a roupa da alma” ("Traveling is changing the clothes of the soul"), Mario Quintana.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It enables me to meet people on my same wavelength and make new friends worldwide.
It's an unique way to see or show things that aren't in any guidebook: I don't see a reason in travelling to see touristic trash without discovering the life of locals.

Experiencing different cultures, lifestyles and opinions is often the best chance of inner enrichment; there are infinite ways of looking at things so stepping out of my comfort zone, changing my perspectives and learning new things are always good for me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach some Italian, give a bit of advice to anyone who's getting into photography for the first time or wants to learn the basics of guitar/bass.

Currently learning Spanish and starting with German pronunciation.

I'm always keen on showing what's worth to see in the old city centre of San Marino, playing beach tennis or having a jam session.

Talks, stories, laughters

Musicians/photographers/beach tennis enthusiasts are MORE than welcome :)
