***UPDATE (dec 2023) Back in Bari!

**UPDATE (sept. 2023): Having a break from the conversion of the Van and getting ready for a little South East Asia expedition!!

*UPDATE (march 2022):
I am currently converting a van into a camper van in my hometown, so If you wanna hang out, have a beer or a touring walk, just give me a shout.

Bit of my story:
Born and raised in Bari, south of Italy, I moved to the Netherlands when I was 20 and lived there for 5 years, then Spain, finally Rome for 12 years, where I settle my career as a photographer. Around 2016 I left Rome and started traveling. That has been a turning point in my life where I started giving my time another meaning, hopefully a better one, dedicated to a personal growth. The nomadic condition has been just a consequence of this choice and hanging around with foreigners became a kind of need.
I am a very easygoing person. They say I'm good in the kitchen and I love to share that with others. I like sailing and fish diving. I am a sea food lover. I definitely love music, I sing and play guitar.

My motto is: Try not to ever spend time doing things you don't like doing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm clean, respectful of people's space, reliable and friendly. I am not uptight and tend to be very social if the situation allows it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Always a bless!

Interests

I love cinema, music, playing guitar and sing, cooking and eating fish. I love getting in touch with new people and share our experiences and skills. I'm either a laid back person for relaxed couch evening talk, either one who enjoys a lot being out, drinking a beer outside a bar terrace or just watch people passing by... I love being on the sea and swim. I don't go crazy for disco's or late night extreme techno experiences. I love another kind of music, though I would jump right in a folk rock music or raggae beach party.
I hate violence, insensivity and disrespect.
