About Me
// Working in Iceland in a guesthouse until mid-October 2018 - So I won't be able to host //
I (still) believe that I can help to create the "utopic world" that I want to live in. I won't stop fighting for it, that's for sure.
I'm very curious about the way other people think and always trying to see the world through their eyes (even when I completely disagree).
Pay attention to details. To nature. To the little things that are so important and we forget to give the proper attention to it.
Happiness comes from within.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm on Couchsurfing because I believe that sharing your house, your food and your time it's the most genuine kind of sharing and way of connecting with people. And I love traveling so staying with and meeting local people is the best way to really get to know a new country and culture.
Interests
I love movement. I love butoh and I love to be able to resonate with people through movement (and art) in a deep level, sending a message in a way that (to me) it's more important and more meaningful than words.
I love to surf. And this summer (2018) I came to Iceland to work for 6 months and I couldn't surf so I bought a skateboard (I didn't have one since I was probably 13yo) and now I'm discovering another world, it has been fun.
This year I also started studying (online) web development :D I discovered that I like it very much, so let's see what will happen.

Music, Movies, and Books
BOOKS
I'm looooove reading. I love novels. Fiction, fantasy, ... Normally whenever I find a subject that interests me I will search for a book (or more) that can tell me all about it. I really love books.
~ currently reading: “On the road”, Jack Kerouac + "Acorn", Yoko Ono + "Fool's Quest", Robbin Hobb ~
MUSIC
If I feel something when I listen to it, if it makes me think of something, if it changes me in some way, if it makes me want to listen until the end - that's it.
~ right now I'm in a jazz spiral, listen to everything jazz related ~
MOVIES
