Hi!
I'm Alex,
I was born in the eastern part of the land people usually call "Europe" (for some reason) and moved to the southern part of it. I have lived in the land called "Italy" for about seven years, and am now in the process of moving out again.

I love to draw, to tell a good story and usually to have wonderful conversations!
I also enjoy learning about various things, and meeting new people. I think traveling really allows you to attain these two important things, and it makes you grow as a person. To have new experiences, and to understand more about the world you live in, instead of being chained in the same perch of land with a name and borders for your entire life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here because I'd love to meet people, share stories, teach and learn, and usually have a great time.
I believe this to be an opportunity internet has provided us to meet each other, "kindred souls" as they call them. We are out here, and it is time to overcome borders and limits. This is what I believe, and I am certain to not be the only one.
Let us find each other.

Interests

My interests range from various topics.
The first one would be drawing, as this is something I did, I do, and will do in the future. It really takes a whole portion of my life. Comics, Japanese manga and anime formed a great portion of my artistic background.
On the second spot I'd put telling stories, which is very connected to number one.
The third thing would be Learning. Learning what? Learning everything. I love knowledge, I love mystery. I love to know more about religions, spiritualism, science, politics, Art, music, literature and most of the stuff that goes around this world.
People, let's say it in a word, since people are what makes all of the above.

I might add I am very deeply interested in mysteries around the world. I love a good ghost story, or an unexplained fact/event, and I usually try to have a discussion out of it.

Stories are really what fascinate me. Be it real, fictional in every genre, a good story is what inspires me to create my own, and thus, be well.

Music, Movies, and Books

I actually do have a favourite music, altough genres might change with time and events.
Usually, I listen to everything that has a gothic/melodic glimpse to it, like gothic metal, rock or "plain simple". The language is not really important. I also enjoy classical music, opera, a bit of rap. Soundtracks also play a big role, be it in a movie or videogame or anything. It usually has a big impact on me and usually influences my final thoughts about that product.

I may say I don't like unoriginal movies and books. I love Classics in both categories, and I think that Classics are to be read/seen at least once in life. Commercial movies and books are very different: some are fun, but others are simply stupid and, in my opinion, a waste of talent and money. I am usually oriented on the philosophical, or at least deep and complex plots and stories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think one amazing thing that I've done is realizing my potential and stop wasting it on petty, useless thoughts. I evolved to the next stage in my personal journey through life. I became aware, and I understood what my purpose here, on this planet and this life, is.
And I found it amazingly beautiful.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can certainly share a great conversation.
Stories, thoughts, interests.
But if that's not enough, I can also share the silence. What does that mean? I believe silence is a channel through which one can manifest other forms of interaction. A practical example? Simply resting in a field, watching the sky, listening to nature, or meditating.
