About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Searching for meaning of life, wherever and with whoever it might be...

ABOUT ME

All'apparenza era fredda
Come una nevicata primaverile.
Eppure i suoi pensieri,
Quali candidi fiocchi di neve,
Mi turbinavano attorno.
E io me accorsi solo
Quando uno di essi
Si posò sulle mie labbra

PHILOSOPHY

Mira sempre alla Luna, mal che vada avrai viaggiato fra le Stelle.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Was a city guide for exchange students during University years, actively participating in the students exchange programme, both going abroad (France, Austria, California), and in my home city.
Enjoyed showing around and meeting foreign people ever since.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Coach surfed mostly in University campuses (memorable stay in Oxford, UK).
Always loved the travelling student experience, love to keep it up even now despite having finished studied long since.
Guess you can be a "student" within even after college, it's more of an approach to life.

Interests

Would take less to list what I'm not interested in.
Would look into and try almost anything, if I had the time to do so.
Basically anything in which some passionate people found meaning and enjoyment in would be worth knowing more about.
Giving very little spare time, I'm into travelling, photography, social activities, card games and Fantasy.
I've recently given up a little partying activity (guess I used to have too much before) for more introvertive experiences, but I could do with anything with the right company

Music, Movies, and Books

Hotel California - The Eagles
Stairways to Heaven - Led Zeppellin
Gift of a Thistle - James Horner
Vltava - Bedřich Smetana
If you Believe - Sasha
Nothing else Matters - Metallica
Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd

Just to list a few that are tied to very fond memories and intense experiences...
But the list could go on forever

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm a lucky person, I really could list many.
From touching Mount Everest, to road tripping across California and Australia.
If I had to chose, I would go for a thrilling visit to where time stops, frozen in a blinding ice sun: a photography expedition to the North Pole.

Teach, Learn, Share

When searching for meaning in life, just remember to stop and listen every so often, 'cos meaning could find you instead.
When you think something is impossible, it just means you still haven't found a way to do it, or haven't event tried, or forgot that miracles can happen.
I'm sure everybody has experienced a miracle in their life, just not everybody realized it, or maybe never realized how special that miracle was for them.
I'd be really happy to hear personal miracle tales, and have my own to share for anybody who would care to close their eyes, listen and feel a touch of magic inside.
