About Me

###I'm looking for someone in Venice to practice French and Portogues and meet for a coffee or aperitivo. it's hard for me to host because the house is small and I'm usually busy. But you can try ;) ##

ABOUT ME

in my house I practise Anarchy: my freedom higly depends on your respect (and I can find many ways to be free without annoying the others). Hope you share this.

In life, I think curiosity, thinking and consciousness with a touch of irony (please don't be offended by me, I'm always joking. do you know Billy Hicks? Nobody/nothing is safe with me...) and self-irony are the features that most represent me.
I'm almost never angry and I usually give at least a smile to everybody I met. Everyday.

I don't like superficial persons. There are so many ways even to have fun, why only choose the same old one?

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a bit existentialist in this period.

I'm always a traveller, also in my city, in my country and in my mind.
I think tourists loose the main attraction of a place which are persons and new way of thinking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was hosted only once but thanks to "Casa Pasolini", my friends Paolo and kelly's house (you can find them in my cs friends' list), I saw the cs philosophy in action.
anyway I didn't find a couch in Portugal and in Bcn, but maybe I'm too selective with the profiles, maybe I was too hopefull, matbe it was holydays time, maybe I spend too much time in personal requests and less in the copy-and-past ones...
Anyway I'll always have a very high opinion about cs

Music, Movies, and Books

I used to call myself a polimath but, you know, the more you know... so I'm an ignorant.

anyway, this is a list of my favourite ones.

Directors (I prefer scriptwriters but most of them are both):
Richard Linklater, Chaplin, Kusturica, Takeshi Kitano, Tim Burton, Terry Gillian, Michel Gondry, some asian and south corean directors. (not so original, isn't it?)

Musicians: Django Rehinardt, fado singers, bossanova authors (not all but most), Chopin, Saint-Saens, Offenbach.
(even if I'm on my reggae-dub phase right know)

Writers: Stefano Benni, P. K. Dick (Asimov s*cks), Anton Pavlovič

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Right now, moving to Venice

Teach, Learn, Share

Teaching is a big word. I prefer learning.
Anyway, this is a piece of my personal c.v.

I was an actor (a bad one)/director assistant/stagehand in theatrical shows and short movies. I wrote some scripts in both field too.
I love creativity and improvisation.
I practise(d) yoga.
I can play some african percussion (well I played piano and clarinet in my early age too and I attended some singing courses).
And cause it is a constant for cs, I admit I'm a very bad cook so I can wash the dishes (f*c*ing rule...) singing Habanera from Bizet or some old naples songs thinking myself on a gondola in a sunny gulf. Please teach me.

Right now I want to create a domestic sound system. I'm really a newbie in this so if you can give some advice I would be very glad.
Anyway green-social-anthropological issues are always welcome.
