About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to remember the word 'sacacorchos' when I finally need it.

ABOUT ME

If you associate €œunpredictable€ with something positive, here I am. Rational to a certain extent as long as I stand firmly on planet Earth. Still, I m trying to discover things I would never imagine to see, taste, smell or feel. I usually push myself to the limits unknown, but only when it leads to anticipated positive outcomes.
Things I love about travelling: the very feeling of freedom / and people/ then food
Small details I pay attention to when travelling: maps and window shutters;
Things I don €™t like while travelling: too much time spent in transport. Oh well!

PHILOSOPHY

FACE IT and then move on.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

After all I'm a beginner.
How I participate? I'm trying to get the best from it when I get the chance!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Honestly, started as early as 10 yrs old: school exchange to Finland. WONDERFUL experience for a kid, especially that I could see the differences in culture and the quality of life / quite striking for me at that time.
Then, while growing up, I went to those cheesy organised trips for teenagers to different places during the summer, not necessarily face - to - face couchsurfing, still fun, and meeting lots and lots of people on the way, seeing places I probably wouldn't ever see myself .

Most recently I couchsurfed with my dearest friend in Italy (Sept 12') and Spain (June 2013) and Albania (2013)

let it flow!

Interests

Music. It is my daily bread. It's the way I live, the way I breathe.
It's all and nothing I have.
It's the love of my life, always faithful, respectful and unpredictable.
LOVE IT!
Then comes the food (involves cooking, eating and drinking).
Forgot about live concerts and music festivals!
Then all the rest, from sport shooting, trekking through arts like impressionist paintings (I ADORE POINTILLISM), or other general creative stuff, to general passion to people, their behaviour, language, culture.
I'm also a fully trained Barista. Yes, I do make flat whites and stuff. The reason? Part-time job and passion for coffee.
COFFEE is the second name for "morning"!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music…hard one, there's too much going on in my head!
From Ty Segall to Black Lips
From Kasabian to Arcade Fire
From Bowie to New Order
From Devendra Banhart to Rodrigo Amarante
From Moderat to Darkside
From Loop to Slowdive
From Smiths to Pixies
could go on and on. I love electronic music, but there are so many talented artists in this field, that I'd rather tell you in person if you're interested :)

Books: "The Master and Margarita"- M. Bulgakov
I hope I will get through "Ulysses". one day I will reach the final page, and understand...
