About Me

I'm a designer but my real passion is photography.
I also love to travel. I've visited 14 countries so far.
Unfortunately I don't travel as much as I would like to.
To compensate that gap, I created a photography project called Googlography. Basically I use Google Street View as a way of transport and as a photographic camera. Every time I feel the need to travel and to visit a place I've never been before, I use Google Street View as my escape (if I can't visit it in person). Sometimes I'm so involved by it that it really feels like I'm there in person.

Here is the link: www.facebook.com/Googlography

I love people, I love to photograph people, I love portraits. Please don't take me wrong if I suddenly ask you if I can take a picture of you. That's just me telling you that you're special somehow.

I love a great conversation and to talk until the sunrise.

I'm always having ideas. Sometimes I think I think too much.
I love music. I'm terrible at remembering band names.
My memory is kinda selective.
My favourite way of transport is my feet. I really love to walk.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I said before, I love people. I love to talk and to share experiences.
Every time I travel I try to use CS. I already surfed couches from Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Nuremberg, Berlin, Bern, Montpellier and Florence.
I've also hosted people from Paris, Istambul and Bolivia. I would like to host more people but my flat is a bit far from the city center, and I think that's why I don't usually get CS requests.

Interests

I'm interested in meeting new people. I think we should be more open to meet new people. We just need to step outside and we pass through so many lives daily! Why can't we just stop and have a conversation for two minutes? Imagine the possibilities...

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a big cinema fan so, here is a fraction of my favorite movies:

Only God Forgives; Samsara; Tracks; Baraka; Drive; Anti Christ; Coherence; Samba; Nymphomaniac; Birdman; Wild; Dallas Buyers Club; Stone; The Double; Exit Through The Gift Shop; ...
Series: Breaking Bad; Homeland; The Walking Dead; ...

Music
Don't ask me what kind of music I like to hear because I really don't know. It's easier for me to show you.
Here are some artists I've added to my spotify account so far:
Kishi Bashi; Joywave; Flatbush Zombies; Cícero; Honne; Tame Impala; Kyan; Beshken; Flying Lotus; ...

Books
Unfortunately I don't read that much but I'm working on that.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've made an Interrail trip across Europe for a month and a half and it was one of the best experiences in my life. I've seen Niagara Falls from a boat. I've traveled across Switzerland by train. I've seen a HUGE meteor entering atmosphere. And a few more...

Teach, Learn, Share

Everything I can. But I also want to learn a lot from you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my experiences with you. I hope you can share yours. I can share a bit of my daily life. I can share the city I live in with you. I can also take you to some places by car if I'm available.
