About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make my life a work af art, confouding dream and reality

ABOUT ME

It's always difficult to portray oneself, because every person has got an hidden world behind its own appearances.
I often experience profound changes in my personality, character, way of thinking and viewing life... (you can see that I like very much philosophy. One day I'll be a guru. Hi Hi!. I'm joking)
I'm travelling in a gorgeous discover of my new "soul". No, I'm not looking for the light of the calling. I'm enjoying this marvellous experience in Siena that allows me to know new people day by day and to learn new points of view and manners.
Anyway, I have some certain informations about my life. I'm keen on literature and all the humanistic subjects, because this help me to explore the immense world of the human beings, with is qualities and drawbacks.
Since I was child, I'm a fan of football, but three years ago I discovered a passion which grows up day by day: the caribbean dances (bachata, cuban and portorican salsa, kizomba)
I like speaking about a lot of topics, but often I prefer to listen to another person.

Quien lee mucho y viaja mucho, sabe mucho
Cervantes

Viaggiare, è proprio utile, fa lavorare l'immaginazione. Tutto il resto è delusione e fatica. Il viaggio che ci è dato è interamente immaginario. Ecco la sua forza. Va dalla vita alla morte. Uomini, bestie, città e cose, è tutto inventato. È un romanzo, nient'altro che una storia fittizia. Lo dice Littré, lui non sbaglia mai. E poi in ogni caso tutti possono fare altrettanto. Basta chiudere gli occhi. È dall'altra parte della vita.
Celine, Voyage au bout de nuit (1932)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like very much travelling, in order to know different places and cultures and, why not, to learn foreign languages. I'm interested in knowing the path of others people with whom I can spare a moment, short or long, of my modest but not (I hope so) boring life.
