>>on my way to Oz

CURRENT MISSION

[Asja] "the only truth I know, is you"

ABOUT ME

I am a italian attorney. I really like traveling and discovering new people and culture, I'm interested in politics (expecially international relations) and philosophy as well as all topic related to justice (international, criminal, constitutional, transitional...) and human rights.
I also like cooking and reading, when I've got time....

Maybe, my only potential description is by quoting someone else:
"I was born in Liverpool, but I grew up in Hamburg" -John Lennon
"Sometimes I am, sometimes I think" - Paul Valery
"I think that be wishing to escape from a town with 20.000 inhabitants, means you wish to escape from yourself. And I believe that you cannot escape from yourself not even if you are Eddy Merx." -Radiofreccia

ps: I've a high consideration for privacy on the net, so my profile might seem pretty incomplete. in that case, feel free to ask!

PHILOSOPHY

keep on discovering

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

how? I don't rememer it anymore: probably read it before leaving to Ireland and thought "looks a nice idea"

why? I've travelled in may ways and stayed in many different places (hotels, hostels, tents, CS...) and I know what makes the difference in arriving in a new city and having someone there waiting for you, helping you and sharing his/her experiences with you

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, I still think that one of the most amazing thing I've lived was meeting khmer people:
-once while riding my broken bike, one with his scooter just hold me and drove me till home, without even askying my name...
-always with that crap-bike, I broke one lever in the middle of high-traffic junction and one old man who spoke no english at all helped me reparing it...
