Update May 2024: I’m currently living in New York. I’m an ESL student, pursing to get a masters degree and build a career as a photographer, art director and producer in the City. I’d like to connect with people experienced with Couchsurfing to share experiences and make new friends. New Yorkers please hit me up. Ideally I want to connect with local Couchsurfers. But open to meet people visiting too!

ABOUT ME: You really know someone when you see their reaction by telling them that they are wrong. Sometimes a joke, an anecdote, an insignificant moment, show us better an illustrious man, than the greatest feats or the bloodiest battles.

CURRENT MISSION: Life research! Understanding, feeling, letting go, observing and collecting experiences. Love as much as I can, love whoever I can, love everything I can. Without worrying about the purpose of love. To be nothing and not to love anything, is the same.

PHILOSOPHY: To become truly great, one has to stand with people, not above them. If you remember everything you have noticed, you would be wise.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I truly believe that I have friends all over the world that I do not know yet, but I miss them already.

Missing someone is nothing more than missing oneself. The other gives us the possibility of finding ourselves. When the other is not there, it feels strange.

TEOREMA Pier Paolo Passolini.

One is limiting art much too severely when one demands that only the composed soul, suspended in moral balance, may express itself there. As in the plastic arts, there is in music and poetry an art of the ugly soul, as well as an art of the beautiful soul; and in achieving art's mightiest effects—breaking souls, moving stones, and humanizing animals—-perhaps that very art has been most successful.

152. The art of the ugly soul. Human, too human. Nietzsche

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling in a trailer with a couple who had just met 1443.3 km listening to good music and returning to my home after 6 months with the same person. 🛣
