About Me

I would describe myself as a sort of Renaissance man, an Enlightenment guy. I'm very interested in art, music, literature and philosophy. Though I must say I'm not a huge fan of Modern Art.
As a person I'm outgoing but not reckless, fun but not silly and serious but not without a good sense of humour. I have many definitions of a good time, so I'm not easily bored. Above all I'm a great conversationalist, there's nothing I like better than getting to know people and their ideas better.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

What I am here for ? Well I think it's best described by the King of the famous shrinks Carl Jung "The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed." Looking for people to have a cultural, fun and intellectual reaction with and transformed in a more well rouned person.
