ABOUT ME

How can someone reduce herself/himself to a few lines?

PHILOSOPHY

I find the "Wear Sunscreen" text, from Mary Schmich, a very interesting one.
If you prefer to have it in "lyric mode", I would suggest "Everybody's Free (to wear sunscreen)", from Baz Luhrmann.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

For a long time that I've received friends at my place or stayed with them.
Now it's time to pass to the next level and CS seems to be a good way to expand the concept.

Interests

Traveling is obviously one of the things that I love to do and it's always a "work in progress" project.
Food is also one of my passions (both eating as cooking) and I find it amazing how much it can tell about a culture.
I'm also very keen on cinema (but Rambo is not my hero).
