About Me

CURRENT MISSION

i don't know what the world is, but i know it's mine

ABOUT ME

i quit my job in march this year (2011), i decided to do it because i didn't love it. i wanted to escape for a moment, to know the world... it was now or never.

update - jun 2012: i just finished a very long worldwide trip (11 months) and i'm returning to my day a day life. is incredible to realize how the experience helped me to be the guy that i wanted to be... now i'm enjoying it.

PHILOSOPHY

avoid the expectations, are a source of unhappiness.

the only time that counts is the present.

worry about knowing yourself.

if you fear something, do it and the fear will die.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i like to share with real people from each country i visit, listen their experiences, know what they think, how they live... independent if they are native or not. i try to avoid the traditional tourism and tourists crowded places, that's what i like CS.

Interests

my interests are quite broad. from the abstract art and its various manifestations until the exact sciences. i'm an engineer and i love martial arts, photography, music, books, history, art, yoga, jogging, exotic foods, know different places and people. share with people, talk about ideas, trying to improve the world starting from yourself.
