ABOUT ME
Well... If what I like defines what I am, then I can say that I like food, sunsets (Never awake for the sunrise...), mountains, Comics, Nutella and Europe (mostly because I still dont know the rest of the planet). What do I hate? Mornings.
Curious, I am constantly looking for new challenges. I am glad to say that every new day broadens my perspectives. I search in people what I can't find in books. And books tell me what I am looking for. The circle is complete.
Something else? Maybe. Check me out!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Couchsurfing completely rocked my way of travelling way and my experiences in many places! Couchsurfing makes a trip so much more interesting. Although moving to different regions, it makes you feel like home, meet the best people and provides with intensity.
More, it is a damn good trick to the hotel businesses! The very fact that a globalized Internet has made such an adventure possible makes me hope for a better future.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Across Europe (and a bit beyond), back and forth, hosting, being hosted. A way of life for the past 4 years.
Interests
At first were Political Sciences, Politics & History (so much to learn from it). Then came the European integration process (something worth fighting for). At last came the notions of Nationalism, Nation-State building, Citizenship and Migrations (the Nation can stay, but to deconstruct the Nation-State appears like an obvious priority to me). Something else will come up soon in my list of interests, I am sure.
And of course: Travels, Cinema, Music, Literature, Architecture, Languages, Cooking, Biking...
