About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Survive

ABOUT ME

I'm a pretty laid back person, although I consider my self pretty active too... depends on the mood.

I love traveling, meeting new people. I love music.

I'm a pretty good cook, sometimes I wonder why I didn't actually study to be a chef instead of an engineer... My favorite place to be is my kitchen.

I write a little, I paint a little too...

I like reading, I prefer a cold weather unless I'm on the beach...

I like crossfit, surfing and longboards.

PHILOSOPHY

Share a beer, share a good talk, get drunk, don't get drunk, go see the world, stay home, talk to her, don't talk to her... do whatever you want, no regrets, no hard feelings, just... Don't Panic!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well. I'd like to host any cool people that needs somewhere to crash...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfing and Hosting people for a couple of years now. Met a lot of people in the couchsurfing meetings in Rome. Then in Nottingham became good friends with some of the Couchsurfing locals. Overall Great experience!

Interests

I'm interested in life, I find the social interactions fascinating. When traveling I like watching people more than buildings or museums. I like watching tourist while I'm touristing... I think they are as much of an attraction as the rest of the city.

I love cooking and eating, I believe that this is one of the most important ways through which people can relate and has as much cultural validity as any other artform.

I love languages and am trying to learn as many as I can (at least a little bit of each) I think when you learn the language you also get to know the way people think and how they relate to other people.
