About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to find the time to update my CS profile.. :)

ABOUT ME

Trying to fill up this part of my profile is as challenging as trying to overcome the writer's block when starting the first chapter of a new novel!
I was born in a tiny little village in the Dolomites and as soon as I had the chance I started traveling, and ever since then I can't seem to stop!
I love sharing food, drinks and good laughs. I encourage discussions and I love people who actually can make a point!
I find myself easygoing, openminded and quite sociable, when I am not in a disco club (ugh.) where I feel completely out of place and out of tune.
Besides that I consider myself a "regular everyday normal guy" as Jon Lajoie would say!

PHILOSOPHY

Well, I don't wanna oversimplify it, but during my 5 months stay in Canada, I learned a lot. It opened up my mind. I got to appreciate things like never before, like the pleasure of meeting random people in a bar and talk, the pleasure of traveling and discovering new places and cultures. That's why I decided to join couchsurfing, 'cause it gives me the chance to travel while staying at home.
"No remorse, no repent" (Metallica, No Remorse)

People usually have a distorted perception of metal heads, they think because of the music they listen to they're extreme even in their lives. That's not true, I consider myself pretty open minded and balanced..
