Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I met so many people from different places during my stays abroad that I want to keep this going on. I'm cycling around Puglia for 10 days stopping by Bari, Matera, Martina Franca, Ostuni and Lecce. I have what's needed to camp, however my legs would be pretty happy with a sofa as well ;)
Music, Movies, and Books
I guess I'm a bit old-school, but I just love Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler, probably since I'm 8 or 9 y.o. Then I got to know J.J Cale, Clapton... I'm not a big fan of blockbusters, I'm more into old B&W movies trying to extend my filmography knowledge. Sometimes I'm not sure whether I liked the movie or not, directors try things sometimes I'm telling you... I really enjoyed Romain Gary's books. I also loved late Philip Roth and Tom Wolfe.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I went through Ladhak and Kashmir on a Royal Enfield bike, for around 10 days. Landscapes are amazing, so are the roads where a wonderful work is done by the indian army out there. I did a 2 days session of free-diving in Indonesia. I ended up lasting around 2 minutes at 18 meters deep. And you know what, nothing extraordinary, I'm sure you can reach that too.
