ABOUT ME

hello

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

just in surfing and hosting when it's possible for me to do it. sometimes i go to the meetings.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

well..I hosted more than surfed till now, and every meet has been original..sometimes yellow, sometimes blue, sometimes violet, sometimes red. I never had any black or grey. (well..maybe i had grey)

Interests

i'm interested in cultures, and not just for the differences between mine and the others. for that i'm graduating in anthropology. i would consider myself lucky if i would get an employment in a cooperative organization.
i'm studing how to play saxophone, and i like to play guitar sometimes.
i'm getting more and more interested in the arab world, and i hope to travel in it, as to travel in general.
and then...usual things, music, cinema, friends, family.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I travelled through the outback, , that is...red. The sky there was so big. I floated on the reef in the north of Queensland, with funny round yellow & white fishes that cames lookin with curiosity, like :-O ,the traffic of Napoli, Gracia(Barcelona) during the catalan festival, the hospitality of the middle eastern people (syrians in particular), some crazy festivals in towns around Bilbao...and some amazing eyes around the world.
