Encounters on the road, and in Europe, is a verbatim account of some anecdotes concerning acquaintances made on the old continent.

Many encounters I have made through couchsurfing; this article discusses it in depth. I use it mostly to meet people from the place I visit, and I don’t couchsurf anymore.

Some of the encounters were casual, some on the road, some prepared somehow from home. I met people in hostels, in bars, and even on tours.

Other encounters are included in postcasts where I talk more in depth about a specific trip, while this is a collection taken from other trips.

Please note the audio is in Italian.

Highlighting the group I met on an unusual type of trip for me; a training course. We were in Sweden, meaning snow and frost. Besides other Italians and the Swedish hosts, there were also people from Spain. In general, I particularly enjoy meeting people from other countries.

This is the page of the site with the list of articles where we talk about dating, casual and otherwise, in Europe, but not only.
