Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting locals is much more interesting than listening tourist guides

Interests

My main source of inspiration is surreal and any kind of trash happening in this life.

My biggest passion is underground electronic music and culture, its history and philosophy. I spend plenty of time looking for new releases, making records, writing reviews and working on new album.

This year I obtain a bachelor degree in Psychology & Psychotherapy. Whereas I'm not going to work in my degree field, I find this knowledge applicable to almost all aspects of life. I'm interested in pathopsychology, cognitive psychology and psychiatry.

I also enjoy art, performance and graphic design (mostly avant-garde, constructivism, surrealism, abstractionism, actionism and concept art).

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: mostly abstract electronic music . Everything that comes from early italian futurists; industrial like Trobbing Gristle, Test Dept, etc., postindustrial wave, minimal synth, psychedelic electronic of 80's-90's. I also like music that contains elements of different styles, or can't be referred to any specify genre.

Books: usually I read non-fiction and scientific literature about subjects I'm interested in.

Movies: I'm not a cinema fan at all, but I like films like Gouttes d'eau sur pierres brûlantes, Enter the Void, Brazil, Alphaville etc.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you're interested, I'm glad to teach you everything I know.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Interesting conversations about music and psychology, if you need graphic design for, for example, your project, I can do some items that don't take too much time.
