About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Travelling makes me perfectly happy. I'm curious to discover. You can never get old enough to stop learning from others.

PHILOSOPHY

There is always something new to see and learn - everywhere.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

To know and stay in contact with my dearest travelling friends.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I enjoyed my first experience in Helsinki and I'm glad I had a marvellous host.

Interests

*I ADORE*

Strolling around in big cities and to discover, discover, discover! New York, Buenos Aires, Helsinki, Lisbon, Stockholm, Madrid, Sarajevo, Glasgow etc., traveling by bus or by train, going out already primed, this indescribable quiet moment before kissing each other, if my smiling is replied, flying in my dreams, feeling warm watching the snow falling, faithful glances of animals, sunny Sunday mornings, planes taking off, talk and discuss in other languages (you can put so much passion in other words), a good massage, tirggel, to see and photograph cranky situations, sarcastic jokes almost always, matching colours, buy something I wasn't looking for, the feeling when I finally understood a problematic situation, plants, eclectic situations, invitations for food, quality in music, little unexpected presents, cartoons, earning money for what I've done, Brooklyn Industries, laughing in general, white sheets, watching old movies lying in my bed, live jazz concerts, fresh and ripe fruit, Sicily all over the year, Mallorca in spring, the scent of snow, animals playing, life, feeling alive, cat skin, wandering in the mountains ...

*I DO NOT LIKE*

Cold wind entering my clothes, cheap and ugly soft toys, greasy sausages, people repeating always the same problem not hearing what others tell them, people who don't realize when to stop joking, too much sudoku everywhere, too much television, too much consumption, people who cannot find any good point in their life, to breathe smoke in a cold winters day waiting for the train/bus, dry skin, imprecise information, lies, too much egoism and eagerness for power, sand in mushroom-dishes, sand in lamb's lettuce,...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Getting out of the airport bus in Kiev, expecting the guy looking for me to talk English, I was surprised he said: Jo, grüass Di, willkomme in Kiev. Du, i hob a Wort für Di: Oachkatzerlschwoaf. Verstehst's? :)

I met some people in Sarajevo (BIH) who told me about their experience during war and how they nowadays struggle for a better life

The day my friend bouncing donkey named me HAS

A lot of people think they'd know me at first sight - it's frightening sometimes
