rocky welcomes you!
Rocky is one of our most experienced hosts in Milan. An open minded British Artist who has been living in Italy for ten years. He's into contemporary art, streetwear fashion, electronic music, current events and sustainability. He enjoys travelling as much as he enjoys hosting. In his story he shares the wonders of being part of the misterb&b community. The desire to make new friends and connect. Get ready to feel inspired and stay like a gay local!
What interesting people have you met?
Wow… I have met a lot of interesting people, from Designers to Art collectors, Journalists to Story-tellers, a lot of friendly guys from around the world. Some here for work others on holiday or in transit. And those who appreciate Milan as a sophisticated and stylish city. The guests I have hosted were looking for a cheaper accommodation option, a safe place to leave their things and a central location. Everyone appreciates the convenience of my apartment. I’m very close to Milano Centrale train station and to airport connections.
What is it like hosting for the gay community?
I love hosting now as much as I’ve always loved travelling. I mean… The guests and their culture come to me, like i am travelling, but you’re really home, in your own place.
There is a lot of trust involved and meeting new people can be so amazing it can give you such positive vibes. Especially if they are gay, because it makes it easier to connect. I like to feel I am doing something for the gay community by offering a safe and comfortable place to stay in a gay home free of taboos.
When you’re travelling you also have a desire to connect, especially if you’re making a journey just by yourself. A lot of guests like to talk and share their experiences. We talk about a lot of subjects, present-day issues, current events, stuff we love and we may have in common. Obviously with international guests, opinions can vary widely, but I love to debate and provoke a little, especially discussing social issues. A common conversation is coming out, youth, adolescence, human rights. But I also like to discuss art, music and cinema. The most interesting things are people’s lives, hearing about their families, lifestyles and interests.
Time hanging out can be limited. Obviously guests have their itineraries and schedules, I have to work so I have mine too! Usually, I try to spend time with them when they arrive, a cup of tea together, giving them information about Milan, what to do or see and how to get around the city. Sometimes in the evening we can share this moment over a glass of wine, or sitting outside on my beautiful terrace or over breakfast in the morning.
