    My name is Guido, I'm 40, and I'm originally from Palermo. I've always been passionate about the rest of the world and I've been travelling and living in many different countries. I've been a CouchSurfer since I'm 18 and I've been hosting/hosted hundreds of time. I speak fluently English, French and Spanish.

    I live with my wife, Livia, and my 2 daughters, Sveva (5yy) and Giada (3yy), in Catania.
