I am a quite untypical Italian. Beside the passion for adventurous traveling, I am an enthusiast explorer, never tired to try something new, to learn about places, people, culture.

It's pretty hard to describe myself in few words. I will try:

• I’ve been traveling since I was a really small kid. My brightest trips were definitely Namibia and the four months spent around India from which I wrote a book (not a bestseller ;))

• I love good food, good wine and stories, why not to cook something or try some local food?

• Animal lover: owner of a wonderful 3 years black Labrador, his name is Arnold and he might travel with me

• I have been photographer, still love it, but I didn’t make it out a profession. Instead, I’ve worked between several companies as sales and business developer. Currently I work in medical devices, but I have a flame for entrepreneurs and startup crazy ideas

• All the rest, and there’s quite a lot, it’s to discover!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To finally try this wonderful community, experience local life, meet new people! To discover new places, stories, friends. I guess it definitely worth to try..

Interests

I love reading and writing, keeping a diary.

I do sport almost every day alternating gym, run, tennis, dog walking, swimming. Sometime I get extreme and I tried skydiving, surfing, flyboarding..

I love reportage photography, and aerial photography. Got a reflex (Nikon) and a drone (sometime).

I am interested in history about places, but well, also in partying sometime, life is short!

Last but not least, I'm very interested in spirituality as well, trying to start meditation and take care of it!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: From reggae to rock, from dance to pop, it's not to make rhymes, but for me almost all is fine

Movies: I have a list of 700+ movies on a file which I loved, difficult to choose. If you don't know it, check the movie Holy Motors

Books: I read a lot, yes I do. Last books: Daniel Keyes - Flowers for Algernon; Paulo Coelho - Hippie

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last summer a road trip from Italy to Saint Petersburg (Russia) with a small car and our dog for 8000km.

A week of trekking spent in Ladakh, sleeping at 5200mt.

Skydiving over the Namib desert.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach how to cook some tasty Italian recipies, not traditional. I can learn how to fish some seafood (if there's sea). Also, got some experience in dog training (despite mine is too stubborn). I can almost all the time be updated on last trends.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A sincere smile and happiness being grateful for hospitality. Stories and experiences from few years of adventures. Some Labrador energy and love if my dog Arnold is with me.. I hope I can enrich life of others sharing and learning.
