CURRENT MISSION

Trying to find my way, as I guess, almost everyone

ABOUT ME

----READ ME!---
--CSURFERS ASKING ME FOR A COUCH PLEASE USE ONLY THE COUCH REQUEST FORM! (not the message box)---

Well, right about now 30 of May 2011:
Human, male, caucasian, 21 Y.O, 1.74 mt x 54kg [see pics for details], italian, roman and what else... no known allergy, no serious diseases, haven't been in jail yet.

I'd love to think i'm a wise, geek, sensible, zen, friendly guy but i even think i'm humble... Let's say i TRY to be that kind of guy!

I love to hear stories and to know...different people: those that you'll remember years after.
I'm a quiet guy: do like parties but really not the disco guy: i prefer a couch, friends, something good to eat and drink, good music!

PHILOSOPHY

-reading what I wrote: I seems a really boring guy! I swear i'm not. Well not so much :D

Uff, easy this one...Personal Philosophy...
I use to say "no one wrote the book how to live a life " but every year that passes i find myself living exactly as it's intended from the RightAboutNow Western Society and I really don't know if it's a good or a bad clue.
I would like to break free from schemes but i even think that i AM my self-control over emotions.
I started my research trying to find what makes me "Jacopo" and not someone else, but i relatively soon found that there were too many connections with..uh, my family, my education, my friends, my experiences to extrapolate a true and pure EGO for starting to build a world-influence free super Jacopo. I said to myself:"maybe it will we worth focusing on your future actions and decisions rather than digging your memories in search for your least common denominator"
So what is my philosophy?
Well is: in all this chaos of emotions and interests (social, economical, physical) be cautios.
But this doesn't means "do not try"...It's more like evaluate, try to be judgeful, try to give back what you receive if it's positive, try to let you the possibility to remember your actions with pride. Most of all try to forgive because you WILL make mistakes , try to bring happiness and to search your happiness. The last one it's really the hardest one.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-Parachute jump from aircraft (Cool!)
-Had an incredibile graduate trip with people i've met only at the airport.
-In that trip i've guided some of my companions in a midnight infiltration (not joking) in the Tolum ruins by swimming around the rocks , through the trees, right into the ruins hiding from the guards for visiting the place by night without paying them the "fee" for the illegal night visit they were offering to some other people. Damn my companions really followed me! It was.uh..adrenalinic and really really crazy. Not sure if the guards spotted us and just ignored or if we were better than Solid Snake..however after some minutes we ran away :D
