About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be a bit of Ulysses, a bit of Osho, and moreover myself

ABOUT ME

When I was three years old, my father told me about a train that was traveling from Europe to Asia. He started to bring to me the idea that discovering the world was a way to discover yourself. I embraced this philosophy when I was 19 and I never quit. I believe in human relations more than in anything else. I believe that suffering and pain have equal value as joy and happiness and anything that is human has an interest, a story, something to be told and to be listened.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a mystery to be lived, not a problem to be solved.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Couchsurfing is a way to stay in touch with the world, to get to know other people in their journey, to explore ways our humanity touches, from time to time, and other times detaches.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Until now not as much but always fantastic!

Interests

Traveling, discovering, listening, dreaming, dancing, be taken by emotions, alone, and mainly with others.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies are a way to dream, music is an expression without words, books are the way to another world. My style, my mood, people I met brought me to change many times what I loved.
