I'm Alberto. I travel, I film, I eat and I'm hungry for more!

PHILOSOPHY
"La vita non va allungata, va allargata" = "Life is not to be extended, it's to be enlarged". In Italian "Life" = "Vita" = "Waistline"!

+++ UPDATE +++
I'm very upset with this website because in the middle of a pandemic, it decided to set up a paywall preventing people from getting in touch with their CS friends or even accessing their own profiles!

So I'm now on BeWelcome: https://www.bewelcome.org/members/Alb-erto

See you there! :)

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I've been meeting wonderful people around Europe, middle east, southeast Asia, Africa and Australia. This website has raised my trust in mankind.

I ain't exactly a night owl and I'm not into drinking so if you're looking for a party guy i'm not your man. I enjoy doing sports and outdoorsy stuff. Around Bologna there are places i know quite well and places i love. If you're looking for good food i got some advice to give! :)

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

Well, I got a sh*% load of knowledge to share about my country!

Like:
1. Garlic bread and spaghetti bolognese ain't no real Italian food! The real deal is called "tagliatelle al ragù"!
2. Real sicilian sweets (cannoli, granita, etc.) are rare commodities outside Sicily. Don't be fooled!
3. In Italy we have a simple hand motion to say WTF!
