About Me

CURRENT MISSION

moving south....looking for the sun

ABOUT ME

i'll tell you when we meet if you want......:-)

PHILOSOPHY

be free living simple, we need very basic things, not that much, consume less and enjoy more simple life, try to do what you like, don't follow the stream, work enough to have a decent life, don't get crazy about working, travel, see things, meet people, think a lot, be handy, adaptable, resourceful for u and others, the rest will come easy....

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host people when possible and look for couches when i am around.....CS is also very useful through its city-groups!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

in about a year an a half i have collected several Cs experiences in Italy and abroad...just great!!!

Interests

Art (mostly modern and contemporary art). I do some paintings and artistic works and i am trying to put more and more time in it. I love also travelling to see art exhibitions. Art is actually my main passion and hopefully a future source of work.
Cinema which is my old first love.....i have seen a lot of movies...a lot...i love many different kinds of movies, it will be too long to describe, although i have a particular attention for independet new productions
Cooking, my other passion, and also one of my job. Let's say i see cooking as an important activity both for socializing and for surviving when i need it.
well, travel is something i definitely like and enjoy, although what i really like is to go in new places and live there for a while, meeting people and so on...i hardly can be a turist.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies, like i said before, too many...it is difficult just to mention some. Well, The wild Bunch, Casablanca, Tha apartment, The Thing, Barry Lyndon, Apocalypse Now, Blade runner, Taxi Driver, Rio Bravo...TOOO MANY!!! i cannot! Randomly i would say some directors (easier): Peckinpah, Tsukamoto, Cronenberg, Carpenter, LYNCH, Kitano, Allen, Wilder, Leone, Truffaut, Melville, Scorsese, Herzog Coppola, Kubrick, Eastwood, Kurosawa....also too many..
Music, well...contemporary new staff...almost nothing...i lived a bit in the past in term of music...mostly rock 60's and 70's...and Tom waits, nick cave, PINK FLOYD, Eagles, Doors, Dead Kennedys, Bob Marley Peter Tosh and reggae roots a lot, sex pistols,ROLLING STONES, Depeche mode,old Metallica, Dire Straits, Bowie, and many other....u got it a bit i guess.
Books...i don't read much...i have to improve my reading...let's say a part from Art and Cinema books, three names over all: Bukowsky, Nietzsche and Ballard.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

well...i little quote..."I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die." ...

Teach, Learn, Share

Well...i can teach u something about cooking...i can give u some advice Movie-wise and sometimes...also life-wise (very little :-)
