CURRENT MISSION

I love freedom and adventure! I believe life is a learning experience, full of wonders for us to discover and enjoy. I am a social and environmental design researcher currently working at University of Malta for EU projects for social innovation and creative education.

PHILOSOPHY

" Flow with whatever may happen and let your mind be free. Stay centered by accepting whatever you are doing. This is the ultimate." Chuang Tzu

I'm close to Zen philosophy and Taoism,I enjoy practicing meditation and I'm interested in shamanism and entheogens.
As Calderon de L Barca says.." que toda la vida es sueño "

"I dreamed I was a butterfly, flitting around in the sky; then I awoke. Now I wonder: Am I a man who dreamt of being a butterfly, or am I a butterfly dreaming that I am a man?"

Chuang Tzu

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had only good experience so far. I hosted 4 times,once in my hometown in Sicily and the other times in Glasgow where I've been living for the last 8 years. Other times I met couchsurfers and showed them the city or went out for drinks, I really enjoy giving tips to travellers about my city showing them the places I love.
I haven't been able to host that much due to the lack of a living room and couch in the last 2 flats I've been living in. I'm recently moved to Malta and I'd like to start hosting couchsurfer depending on my flatmates approval.

Interests

Mind, consciousness, the mistery of creativity, medicine plants and psychedelic explorations, ART in all the forms.
I'm interested in grassroots initiatives and community building, social engaged art practices and active citizenship, urban pedagogy, alternative therapies.
