About Me

I could say that I am a kind person, concerned for the others and our daily life. Just simple and moderate (I 'm an engineer) and also sensitive (although I 'm an engineer). I am not babbler and most friends will not find me dilatory!

Travel style:
When traveling, depending on the country and time, I follow different styles. In cities: investigation, trying to catch the way locals live their life at this specific place...landmarks or museums visits, not late nightlife but sometimes sticking to see the last and least detail, if it is involved in the local culture!

Last years, I have also followed a bit more road trips but want to visit countries that road trips will allow me to discover specific places more and more (a move from city to the province visiting). In addition, I enjoy visiting natural landmarks and walk through them too.

Generally, I prefer public transport, as being more ecological, closer to local people and easier for me.

A dream I always have is traveling a long, traditional rail trip (like trans-Siberian) within beautiful places.

Live for travelling. If not possible this moment just "dive" in the virtual travel, i.e. reading books, until your next trip!

Music, Movies, and Books

Plenty of that to think and write! I any case mainstream culture "products" never attracted me! Frankly, I could not (and don't want) to make such "rankings" regarding music, books and films.
Music old folk greek music, rebetiko up to rock, jazz, country, electronic, classical, experimental...
Movies no hollywood, no splatters, no spending-your-time-movies, but so many other kinds.
Books from novels, art-related up to philosophy and politics.

More, we discuss live
