Hello! I'm Paolo. I live and work in Mantova, in the northern of Italy. My passion is music, particularly folk music, and I consider myself a citizen of the world. Differences are wealth. I think that when people smile at each other everything becomes easier, and I really can't put up with arrogance

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I became a member of CS because it's a great way to make friends across the globe and explore the real life of places, avoiding the mainstream tourism

Interests

I'm an avid explorer, constantly seeking out and immersing myself in diverse ways of life. As a musician, I deeply believe in the transformative power of sound. In my view, folk music, in particular, is the real soul of a people. I love walking in the woods while listening to the sounds of life. I also very interested in history, philosophy and politics. My great concern is the disconnection I see between humans and nature

Music, Movies, and Books

I like almost all kind of music, as long as I can feel a sense of meaning; Non-fictional essays; Matrix, The Big Lebowski, Interstellar, Snatch, and others...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I leaped from about 20 mt into a small river. Once I played with a tarantula in the Amazon rainforest

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm really interested in getting to know my hosts and having long conversations. And make some music together if possible!
