About Me

CURRENT MISSION

seize the day, to explore all over the world by aircraft, train,ship

ABOUT ME

I'm curious, gentle, respectful. I hate drunks and drug. Meet a new person is like to read a book and I'd like to read as much book as possible. Intriguing and funny discussions are target for me, in any case talking for 5 minutes or 5 hours with an intelligent person is great gift. I aim, like Ulysses, explore many places all over the world. Resort place could be a wonderful seaside or rocky mountains. I like to read Krauss's books. Honorè de Balzac and Oscar Wild are intriguing writers but I read only few spot of their books.

PHILOSOPHY

they say that: "the mind isn't a computer, it's an entertainment system for other minds". My philosophy consist on learn as much as possible meeting other minds

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm available to be a touristic guide for Turin's visitors for 5 minutes or if you want for 5 hours,nothing change for me. It's a great gift in any case help travellers like me about safe, cheapest place, interesting places, landscapes. Whom is interested I can introduce my friends too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Barcelona ))) great people
Kiev was a pleasant experience
Moscow: I found very good people, but unfortunately most of the CS people accepted to host/meet me and disappeared for some reason. I was lucky to discover a on time that a girl has mental problem before to couchsurf with her. Every 100 meeting is statistically normal to find a bad person.
