About Me

Born in the Mediterranean, I live and work in Stuttgart (Germany)
I considere myself an easy-going and full of contradictions person. I like dreaming, but i'm often so down to earth; I cannot make any future plans, but i'm good at planning trips; one thing i really love are surprises and the unexpected, but i'm kind of pissed off when my (unorganized and almost non existing) plan is broken; I love reading but I just read while travelling; I can love something and give arguments to despise it at the same time; Statements and doubts always come together; I like trying new things; I enjoy conversations that skip from cars and money; I love to talk about football in a non-fanatical way, and specially when it brushes art and theory; I simply don't understand questions with denials in it; I still believe in people's kindness althought some people say i'll someday get hurt; and above all, i enjoy things when they are a real necessity (sleeping when you're wrecked, eating when starving, a glass of water when thirsty)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me it's first about human kindness: help others when you can. You never know when you'll need their help too.
Secondary and coming along: getting to know different people, new stories and dreams. Cook and eat together while chatting and spreading thoughts. And basically bringing home quality moment shared with nice people afterwards.
And sometimes while travelling one doesn't want to be alone in a single hotel room neither being not able to sleep in a 10 beds-room while people come back from partying in town or not finding your personal space.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like to get lost in music. Music is an emotional state, so that means I can listen to almost everything depending on my mood, but most of the time i'm with rock and folk genres.

Movies that I remember i loved, but probably can't remember what they are about:
Heima; The Straight Story; Los amantes del Círculo Polar; Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain; Reprise; Me and You and Everyone We Know; Le conseguenze dell'amore; Magnolia; Shaun the Sheep; Le tout nouveau testament; Baraka; Koyaanisqatsi; Samsara; Human; Solaris; Manhattan;Magical Girl; Io sono l'amore; Warrior; Nothing Personal; Werckmeister harmóniák ; The Secret of Kells; Waking Life; Lost in Translation ; Wristcutters: A Love Story; La Antena; Phoebe in Wonderland...

Last books that I remember that let traces on me:
"Top of the world"- Hans Ruesch

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
