CURRENT MISSION

WTF is becoming CS ?

ABOUT ME

The home is a place to come back to... it is not a place to live.I grew up in the north part of Italy where the Alps are the end of your landscape and the beginning of your dreams to discover the world. My mountains :)Some years ago I moved to Finland, but now at the beginning of 2012 I decided to go back to my mountains...I loved Suomi and its wilderness so my way to say goodbye and thank you to Finland is to leave this country by bike in winter:A solitary bike trip across Europe from Tampere to Genève.Here you can see more or less my route.I can't plan my life... every day is a new day... but I have to take photos... have a look hereand to ride my bike of course! have a look hereI'm a photojournalist I tell you stories by photos.To describe myself... let's try with some adjectives: reliable, sociable, curious, friendly, unpredictable, persevering, unlucky, reckless, greedy, tolerant and patient but also eager, extroverted, solitary but I need many friends, kind and of course CouchSurfer!!!

PHILOSOPHY

"I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion. " Henry David Thoreau - WALDEN. HONESTY - PASSION - KINDNESS - WILDERNESS - SINCERITY--->NOT TO BE SLAVE OF YOUR ITEMS<---

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I have a fixed welling place my door is always open, I have always many friends come to my place for dinner, to watch a movie, to discuss or just to lie on my sofa...Many times I though that my home was an harbor :) I created an active CS community in Varese!!!I was a guide of www.tamperefreetours.comI'm very happy when I can help travelers!!!I can cook for many people... for example with others Csurfers we organized the event TAGLIATELLA MARATHON... and also an open air PIZZA MARATHON in Tampere (Finland)!!!If you are traveling by bike I can help you to fix your bike in my little personal garage ;)

--->Next Goal... to create a open place where people can fix-buy-sell bikes ;) s going to happen...

In any case Csurfing for sure improved my life...
