Not a tourist, just a traveler.

"I'm still learning."
Michelangelo, age 87.
As him I'm hungry of knowledge too. And basing my life on the idea that happiness only real when shared, I think that almost everything could be more amazing if done in company. So let's meet up!

CURRENT MISSION
Explore the world and discover myself (having fun).

PHILOSOPHY
Homer Simpson is certainly the most important source for my thought. Other ones that I could mention are: Sartre, Erich Fromm, Karl Popper, David Henry Thoreau, E. Esse and Maria L'inzivosa (street chef form Bari).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Guess it... of course for the same reason of yours! Because almost everything is more fun if done with good company! and i love to meet people with different life philosophies, cultures and points of view.

After all there is no better way to discover a place than with someone that lives there.

Interests

So about my interests... they are a lot and continuously growing, I'm proud to be very curious.

I like traveling, art, cinema, reading books, visit natural places, towns and in particular not touristic spots. I love festivals, parties and night life, during the day too.

I'm addicted by sports and i mean them as games, so usually I'm competitive only versus myself.
(some sports that i have played for a long period: aikido, windsurf, scuba diving, running, cycling, capoeira, skiing, swimming and free climbing)

I even love simple and natural food, science, medicine and design (I use 3D modelling and printing technologies).
