ABOUT ME

- Calm person
- Vegetarian
- Illustrator
- Bike activist
- Polyglot
- Ukulele player
- Linux user

I'm curious and I like a lot to meet people, but I'm not really a "party" guy. Going out in any condition and staying up 'till late getting drunk are typical activity I don't like.

PHILOSOPHY

I try being among other people without to stop being myself. This means being able to say "no" gently, and I'm gradually getting better on it.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My door is open to share any kind of experiences. I'm not regularly active in CS groups and meeting, but I attend them when interested in.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Basically, I used CS while traveling as a mean to have different points of view. Being a tourist and do the sights seems to me a slightly consumerist-like to conceive a trip, so I always tried to seek a more internal approach meeting people and understanding what lies behind the "image" of a city.

Interessi

My two mains occupations are: drawing and reading.

I'm currently a freelance illustrator. You can see my work here : www.liviofania.com

I use to portrait people who hosts me, if they like it.

Additionally, among other interest there are: Philosophy of language and cognitive sciences in general, riding my bike (I used to be a critical mass militant), playing the guitar, Linux, Languages,
