About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Constant evolution as a person

ABOUT ME

I am a wondering philosopher.
I like to travel to non-turistic destinations. Read. Writing. I enjoy to take long walks, sometimes with my feet on the sand of some beach in Malta, other times lost in a Slovenian forest. I am a writer, who by chance appreciates the good things of life: there's nothing better than a party with friends and some whisky in the mix. Love Eastern Europe. Books, a moleskine and a pen are the best friends that a man can have while travelling by himself in distant and foreign lands. I have seen the greatest things ever built by men, and had shared my part of the loot in terms of natural beauty. Regarding beauty... I am seeker of beauty, in every ways, in all forms.

I am currently writing a book.
I work as a dating coach for Ars Amorata - www.zanperrion.com
No permanent address, no material possessions. Everything I own fits on a carry-on bag.

Love!

PHILOSOPHY

"I never dreamt about having a beautiful car or something else besides myself. I walk in the streets with my hands on my pockets and I am a prince" - Albert Cossery

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed in Montreal in a house ressembly an hostel, beautiful people that I met.
In New York, I slept on the floor of a friends studio.
South Beach, Miami, the history repeats itself and the floor is my best friend.
Toronto, was kind enough to give me a couch to sleep on.

I've been sleeping on peoples couches for the last 2 months.

Interests

My main interests are to seat and gather, to create space for people to share their concerns.
To travel, to live on the road.
To meet people, because I am constantly surprised by humanitie's kindness.
To share the best memories possible with people that I love.
To read and write.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wow... where should I start? Bribed two cops in Krakow in the middle of night, drunk as hell. Had been in the greatest nightclub ever: Bamboo, Bucharest!!! One great trip from Budapest to Lisbon by train, self-choosen, self-motivated adventure. Had encountered in hostels the craziest people on Earth, - but also some of the kindest ones! Lost in Amsterdam, at 3 a.m. after a bad trip of cannabis, which made me walk without destination for 4 hours. Oooh and I took a train from Budapest to Ljubljana, 300 km, that took a bit more than 9 hours, alone. woow!

Right now I am travelling accross the United States, with 3 buddies, on a Road Trip, we bought a Jeep Cherokee and we are driving from Boston to San Diego, while stopping in North American most iconic cities for a few days.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a writer and I have been writing for the last 6 years.
I work as a dating coach, having worked with hundreds of men, helping to solve whatever problems they think they have with women and life.

I love to think about such topics as love, romance, connections, beauty and to share stories with other people, because every story is worth to be heard and a book could easily made of those stories.
