CURRENT MISSION

Hitchhiking around the world

ABOUT ME
Born and raised in Italy, I worked for many years in a Center for People with Disabilities. I was 23 when I quit my job and never looked back. I started travel taking buses and trains, but afterwards I started hitchhiking and this has changed my life. I hitchhiked in South America, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.
I didn't it to save money, but because this way of traveling has given me the opportunity to met lovely people and opened my mind.

PHILOSOPHY

CS teaches me to be tolerant and appreciate the diversity of people and cultures. I am really simple person, enjoying small thing like a good chat and a coffe. I'm trying to get close into meditation and yoga in the last months, any help and advice is welcome!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I do not use cs to avoid paying for housing, but because it gives me the opportunity to meet really SPECIAL persons, who open the doors of their house without knowing you, only on the basis of TRUST and this is wonderful because today it happens less and less often
