  Description

  Hi my name is Claudio and I have always lived on the island of Ischia in the Gulf of Naples.
  It is a wonderful place whose wild and volcanic nature has been irreparably modified to accommodate mass tourism, with guests seeking worldliness and less natural beauty.
  However, I have always preferred to live the Island following a sporty, simple lifestyle in contact with Nature.
  For many years I have shared and freely passed on my passion for sea kayaking, hiking and cycling.
  I like making new friends and promoting a different island on Instagram: Nature, Sport, Sharing and free Hospitality.
  For part of the day I work on the computer investing in the bond market and for the rest of the time I go out and play sports alone or in company.
  I don't like evening life so much, but I'm always out during the day.
  I am very sensitive and passionate about psychology. I can give human support to people suffering from anxiety or panic attacks. Nature and Sport have helped me a lot in finding a balance with my emotions as well as in embracing my fragilities.
  During the summer I like to dedicate myself to a small vegetable garden on the terrace.
  I live in my own building in the central area with four independent apartments (only one now is for the guests), plus a garage with ten kayaks, and I have always personally taken care of its maintenance.
  I prefer to share these activities in the simplest and easiest way possible, so that I don't have to make commitments a long time in advance.
  At the moment, for this summer, I am thinking of hosting for periods of a week or a maximum of 10 days. In the future it may be possible to return for longer periods, but it is better to have a short first experience to get to know each other.

  Help

  I would like help in creating photos and videos of sports people in order to further promote free sharing and hospitality. So if you like sport, adventure and small challenges as well as having the right physical predisposition and a bit of practice with social media. Furthermore, I would like to improve my English language or learn new foreign languages.
  If you have practice with yoga or meditation I would be happy, as well as tasting some typical dishes from your place of origin.
  If you also like to volunteer and take care of the environment we can go once to clean a path in the mountains or a small bay.
  We can spend half the day together and then you'll do whatever you want.

  What else ...

  The island is very beautiful to experience in spring and autumn. In July and August it is very chaotic, especially in the central area where I live. The beach near the house is really characteristic, as well as having food shops and the bus stop just a few meters from the house. Living in the center there are many restaurants and activities of all kinds.
